Kumbasari Traditional Market
Small bridges lead across the river to the Kumbasari Traditional Market where handicrafts, leather, textiles and souvenirs can be bought. The market is located in downtown Denpasar’s economy center, which is approximately a 30 minutes drive from the airport. Right across you will find the Badung River and Badung Market.
Consider going to Kumbasari Art Market, which is close to Badung Traditional Market. As soon as you go into the market, you'll be delighted and excited since everything is organized and clean, and the greatest part is that you can buy any type of souvenir for a reasonable price!
If Denpasar City is one of your travel destinations and you don't want to spend all your time at the modern souvenir shops in Kuta or Jimbaran, stop by the Kumbasari Art Market on Jalan Gajah Mada in Pemecutan. In the midst of the deluge of contemporary gift shops on the "Island of the Gods," this is one of the oldest art markets that is still active and popular.
Get cheap souvenirs here! Kumbasari Market is a good place to buy souvenirs with cheap price when you ask for lower price. Discover here hundreds of balinese accessories, artworks, and silver jewelry.To purchase souvenirs, there is no need to rush through the congested areas of Kuta or Seminyak; instead, you may do so here using the skill of haggling with the vendor. Kumbasari market offers price negotiations with engaging haggling between merchants and buyers.
Kumbasari Market is housed in a concrete four-storey building with over 200 kiosks and 1,000 stalls. Find traditional handicrafts, such as kitchen and homewares, and other bric-a-brac, such as bracelets and souvenirs. Many small traders also peddle cheap batik clothing and sarongs, jewelry, silverware, and some merchants will also claim to sell antiques. In the past, Pasar Kumbasari was popular as peken payuk — peken means market in the Balinese language, while payuk means household utensils.
Denpasar mayoralty has declared Pasar Kumbasari as a heritage site. Like the Badung Market, Kumbasari is one of the island’s oldest, open since the late ‘70s. The market is also very close to the historical Tukad Badung River, Bali Museum, Pura Jagatnatha temple, all of which are located within walking distance.
The best part of shopping at the Kumbasari Market is one can get cheaper prices for the same products sold at the more opulent shops out in the city. By night, some parts of the market open up with food stalls, making it a good spot for enjoying a local, budget-friendly dinner. The entrance to the market is free. Opening hours are daily from 9 to 5pm.
Visitors on Tripadvisor said „Prices are reasonable. Worth a visit.“ and „Perfect for souvenirs of all kinds“.
