Denpasar, Indonesia

Bali's capital city, DENPASAR (sometimes known by its old name, Badung), has the island's best museum and several lively markets but lacks the tourist accommodation and other facilities of Kuta and Sanur, just 10km and 6km away respectively. Most visitors simply come for the day, or use Denpasar as a transport interchange, but a night in the city's traditional northern neighbourhoods offers an interesting chance to experience untouristed urban Bali.
