Flights from San Francisco to Denpasar Bali (SFO to DPS)

Denpasar is the capital of Bali. It doubles up as the touchdown point to the island and the center of all tourism and shopping in the island nation. Denpasar is divided into four districts called North, East, West and South that are named as per cardinal directions. The city is home to a remarkable number of ancient temples, architecturally-sound royal palaces and interesting museums and art galleries. A star attraction in the Denpasar is a huge four-faced, eight-armed statue called Catur Mukha that sits in the geographical center of the city. This statue is dedicated to Hindu deity Lord Brahma and offers orientation to the city.

Things to do in Denpasar

Celebrated in mid-June, the Bali Art Festival is a month-long traditional Balinese cultural festival featuring daily dance performances and handicraft exhibitions. Visitors are treated to a full view of the island nation’s village dances, food and offering contests, classical palace dances, Balinese theatre, and dance and music performances.

Pura Jagatnatha

Pura Jagatnatha, built in 1953, is a religious temple dedicated to the supreme god named Sanghyang Widi. The temple is special because unlike all traditional Balinese temples that recognize many deities, this temple has only one and this makes a bold statement of monotheism. The temple’s shrine is a classical work of white corals and features an empty throne placed above a turtle and two mythical snakelike creatures.
