There is endless fun to be had in Bali. Here we will give you some ideas to get you started.
Bali is a shopper’s paradise, with a wide variety of markets that offer everything from fresh produce to handmade crafts and souvenirs at a very reasonable price. Here are some of the best markets we recommend.
Labrisa Sunday Market.
La Brisa Sunday Market is a weekly initiative to support local farmers and businesses. It takes place every Sunday from 10am to 4pm at La Brisa Bali, which is located on Echo Beach 12. The market offers a variety of organic produce, natural cosmetics, baked goods, low-waste products, and up-cycled fashion. This market is a lot more "westernised" than the others we are going to suggest. It is very clean and no crazy people yelling at you. Chill Vibes at this one.

BEACH WALK SHOPPING MALL
There are sooo many 'western' shopping malls in Bali. Beach Walk is THE Shopping Mall to go to. It is massive and you can easily spend half a day there. This place has absolutely everything. All the shops you are used to, massive food court etc. This is not the 'traditional' Bali experience by no means. But maybe you want to check it out :)
