Night markets, or more preferably known as ‘Pasar Malam’, are a unique part of the local culture in Indonesia. You know you’ve stumbled into one when you are struck by the overwhelming aroma of the local bakso soup, the humid heat of the satay grills, and the chaotic noise of the jostling crowds. Don’t be surprised - it is all part of the experience. Here are the best night markets in Bali, where you can indulge in the delectable local tastes or put your bargaining skills to the test and see if you can walk away with some good buys.

1. Pasar Sindu

Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing

This night market has many variations of its name, but anything that includes ‘Sindu’, 'Sindhu’ and 'Sanur’ should point to the right place. Located near Sanur beach, this market boasts rows of stalls with street food vendors selling anything from traditional Balinese meals to fresh fruits, vegetables and spices. Prices are decent and inexpensive, with 10 satay sticks going for as low as 1.50 USD. The experience is as local as it gets.

Go on an empty stomach and try everything from the Babi Guling to the Nasi Goreng. It is a non-touristy spot, so you can expect a complete taste of the local night market experience.

Kuta Art Market is open through the day, so visitation is not limited to the night. It is a shopping haven right by Kuta Beach and the perfect place to procure your souvenirs and local artefacts made by the local craftsmen. The best part about the market of sorts is that you can practice your bargaining skills to get the best price and value for your buys. Be polite to the vendors, do adequate price checks and perhaps you walk away with ‘more than you bargained for’.
