Insider Tips
Best Time: 07:00–08:00 catches peak activity without the midday heat.
Hack: Bring a reusable bag — vendors use thin plastic and the market has no bag station.
Hidden Gem: Ask for basa rajang (finely chopped Balinese spice mix) — it freezes well and makes a great edible souvenir.
Wear closed-toe shoes; the wet floors are slippery.
