This leisurely tour introduces you to all the main attractions of this bustling capital city. At its heart you will find attractive Puputan Square. ‘Puputan’ literally means ‘ending’ as the square lies near where one of Bali’s great palaces once stood. When the Dutch arrived here in 1906, the Balinese people led by the King of Denpasar chose to commit suicide rather than surrender and here nearly 4000 people including the royal family died. The tour then continues to the Bali Museum packed with exhibits from the prehistoric to the 20th Century. Here you can learn about Bali and its fascinating culture and among the many artefacts on display are scale models depicting the ritualistic Balinese tooth filling, marriage and cremation ceremonies. Afterwards, head to Gajah Mada Road where you will encounter the great landmark of the city, the Catur Muka Statue. A depiction of God Brahma, the Catur Muka Statue is a manifestation of God as the Almighty Creator.
Put your ‘haggling skills’ to the test at the ‘pasar’, a traditional market where you will find hand made crafts, local fruits, flowers, fish, chickens and pigs among the many items for sale. Afterwards, a short ride by a traditional ‘Dokar’ horse and cart brings you to the Bali Arts centre for your last visit of the day. This traditional Balinese building houses a permanent exhibition of modern paintings and woodcarvings.
