There are plenty of ways to experience Badung Market (Pasar Badung). Looking at ratings and reviews previously given by customers, these are the best tours available right now:
As you’d expect of a working market, there’s no charge to enter Badung Market. However, you can also visit the market on Denpasar city tours and Bali street food tours. Tours start around US$35, depending on group size, duration, and the variety of foods included.
The best time of day to visit Badung Market depends on what you’re looking for. For an authentic local experience and the chance to snag the best produce, visit as early as possible in the morning, ideally around 7am. For the widest range of street food, visit around 11am.
Badung Market is a traditional place, and in Indonesia, cash is king. Some vendors accept local QR-code payment apps such as GoPay and QRIS, but nobody will take cards. It’s easiest to bring rupiah cash in small bills: Paying with a 100K rupiah note often means a long wait for change.
That depends on what you’re buying. Bargaining (“nego” in Indonesian) is fine if you are buying textiles, crafts, clothes, souvenirs, or household goods. Bargaining is not acceptable if buying street food, drinks (such as the herbal tonic jamu), or fresh produce, for which the government sets prices daily.
Badung Market is partly accessible to travelers with disabilities. There are elevators between the four floors, although these, like the pedestrian pathways, are in poor condition. Bathroom doors are too narrow for wheelchair users to access, and there’s not always enough space to move a wheelchair between stalls.
