The nearby Bali Museum was established in 1932. Archaeological fartefacts, dance masks, handicrafts, paintings, as well as architectural illustrations of the various Balinese temples, provide an unrivaled exhibition of the culture.

There are several other markets well worth visiting in the capital city, including the Kumbasari, just across from the Central Market. For souvenir hunters, two streets, Jalan Gajah Mada and Jalan Thamrin, have all you will need to remember your trip to Bali. Specialty and Art shops abound here and all over in Denpasar. Visit the Bird Market (Pasar Burung) for a closer look at several fine feathered creatures, as well as cats, dogs, snakes and fish.

The night market (pasar malam) usually starts in the late afternoon and is a favorite for eating in a relaxed atmosphere as you watch the world go by. Make your way towards Sanur and you will find the Niti Mandala Civic Centre, home to several government offices, including the Bali Government Tourist Office. Interesting to note is the architectural style used in constructing the buildings, adapting age-old Balinese designs to the modern era. Finally, some other interesting places to visit in Sanur are the Art Market (Pasar Seni) and the Beach Market.
