Early morning (around 05:00–08:30) for the freshest produce, seafood and the liveliest atmosphere. If you prefer a quieter visit, late morning to early afternoon is calmer but some fresh goods may be sold out.

Tropical climate — expect warm, humid conditions year-round. Heavy rain is possible during the wet season (roughly November–March), which can make some market lanes crowded and slippery.

No entry fee. The market has no single formal opening time for all stalls: many vendors (especially fresh produce and seafood) start very early (before dawn) and operate until mid- to late-afternoon. Textile and souvenir stalls may stay open later into the evening. Exact hours vary by stall.

Located in central Denpasar near Jalan Gajah Mada and close to Pura Jagatnatha. Easily reached by taxi, ride-hailing apps, local bemo/angkot routes and motorbike. The nearest major airport is Ngurah Rai (Denpasar) International Airport, roughly 10–15 km away depending on route and traffic. Note: the market is narrow and crowded in places—access for wheelchairs or large strollers can be difficult; bring assistance if needed.

Plan 1–3 hours depending on whether you shop, eat and explore nearby streets.

Light, breathable clothing; comfortable, closed-toe shoes for walking and wet floors; a small umbrella or lightweight rain jacket in wet season; bring cash (small denominations) — many vendors prefer cash.

Try local snacks like pisang goreng and klepon; buy canang (Balinese offering items) to observe ritual culture, purchase kain/endek/sarongs as textiles, spices or freshly roasted coffee beans as edible souvenirs, and locally made handicrafts.
