Where to Go Shopping like a Local in Bali?
Markets in Bali are some of the best places to experience the daily life of the local Balinese. These early-morning markets are tours in themselves, where you can discover the island’s fresh produce and try it for yourself. You can also shop for interesting utensils and knick-knacks you might not find elsewhere.
Traditional markets in Bali are where many rural villagers gather and source daily necessities for cooking and housekeeping. Many popular cooking schools often include a visit to a morning market in Bali as part of their classes.
