 Pasar Badung, Denpasar

As with any major markets in the region, the lower floor is used for selling fresh products such as fish, meat and vegetables. The upper floor is used for dry goods such as clothing and spices.
Pasar Badung is a good place to catch a glimpse of the traditional items used in Bali, such as the parasols, traditional clothing, religious offerings, flowers and things that the locals use and consume. Although Pasar Badung is now housed in a modern building, its history goes back to the time of the Badung Kingdom, over a hundred years ago.
