Top 5 Temples Not to Miss in Bali, Denpasar, Indonesia

Not without a reason Bali is called the “Island of a Thousand Temples”. It is said that there are over 20,000 of them, which is just unbelievable. For this reason, no visit to Bali would be complete without a trip to see at least one of Bali’s temples.

Before visiting the temples, make sure you wear appropriate clothes. If you wear long pants or a long skirt you will need a sash tied around the waist. Locals are very sensitive about the way tourist dress, so please respect the local customs.

Tanah Lot is one of the most picturesque spots in Bali and the best place to watch the sunset. It is placed at very scenic location- on a rock just offshore. It is said to be the work of revered 15th century Hindu priest Nirartha and forms an important element of Balinese spirtualism and mythology.

There are lots of stalls here where you can buy souvenirs, and the sellers are not pushy and they are a fair price. If you enjoy photography, you mustn’t miss the view. Even with all the tourists, it’s a serene, beautiful place to visit.
