Indonesia Bali

Denpasar

Capital city of a renowned Indonesian island, famous for its temples, beaches, and vibrant culture, at the conduit of international tourism.

Tips from the community

The name Denpasar means just one thing to most travelers: Bali’s largest airport. But the capital of the island is much more than just terminals and runways. It’s a buzzing, throbbing mass of urban energy, steeped in local traditions and speckled with enthralling Hindu sites. Take the amazing temple at Pura Agung Jagatnatha and its grand two-spire gateway. Or, look to the Taman Budaya, where you can learn all about classic Balinese building styles. The town is also home to the royal palaces of Bali and the main Bali Museum.
