Denpasar Bali, Indonesia

Answer 1

Overview

Denpasar is the capital of Bali, an island in Indonesia. Denpasar is a busy city with a lot of hustle and bustle. However, this multicultural city is wonderful for a romantic vacation with its museums, temples, and friendly local residents. Denpasar is not a favorite tourist spot in Indonesia so visiting couples will not need to worry about waiting in long lines at major attractions. Most local people in the city are willing to talk to any visitors. Since the traffic at Denpasar can be chaotic at times, most visitors will get around on foot and this gives even more time for couples to bond while they explore the new city.

Arts and Entertainment

There are numerous temples in Denpasar. Since there are not many foreign visitors in the city, most temples do not have any dresses to lent out. Prepare a sarong or a sash before visiting any temples. The most famous landmark in the city is the Puputan Square. It is a four-faced, eight-armed religious statue. The square is a point of orientation in the city, especially for tourists who have got lost. Couples will enjoy a leisurely afternoon at the Puputan Square taking pictures and talking to the local people there. Another attraction in the city is the Bali Museum. It offers an introduction to Balinese history and culture. The museum was ruined in 1932 by a major earthquake and was reconstructed in 1932 by a German artist. The museum itself has a very attractive architectural style which couples will enjoy. Another romantic spot is the Puputan Park with a monument that commemorates the independence of Indonesia. The Palace of Satria and the Royal Temples are another must-go for lovers who enjoy learning about the lives of Indonesian royalties and to admire the many awe-inspiring religious historic sculptures in the temples. Other temples that are worth visiting include Jaganata Temple and Maospahit Temple. Before visiting Denpasar, check with the Tourism Office of the city to find out the schedules of cultural events. Participating in those events will help make the romantic vacation even more enjoyable. In addition, Denpasar is one of the best spots for shopping in Bali. Visitors will find a great variety of food, silk, jewellery, and clothing there.

Food and Drink

As a multi-ethnic city, Denpasar offers a great variety of cuisines, ranging from traditional Indonesian, Chinese, to Sudanese dishes. Since Denpasar is not a popular tourist spot, some restaurants are very hard to locate. Visitors should ask their drivers or the hotel receptionist for directions. Some popular restaurants include Atoom Baru, Ayam Goreng Nyonya Suharti, Ayam Taliwang, Bali Bakery, Cianjur, Kak Man, Warung Nasi Bali, Warung Wardani, and the Kereneng Night Market.
