The Best Things to Do in Bali, the Island of the Gods | Condé Nast Traveler

"A cheaper and quieter alternative to nearby Ubud Market and other popular locales in southern Bali, Sukawati Art Market offers an impressive array of handcrafted artworks for sale, from framed paintings of local farm life to large wooden sculptures of Hindu deities. Without the intimidating crowds, it’s an ideal place to flex your bargaining skills. There’s a sufficient variety and volume of goods to peruse: carved figurines, necklaces, artisanal bowls, canvas art, game boards, clothing, woven textiles, and so much more. For a more budget souvenir, we suggest vibrant patterned dresses and accessories for fashionistas; home goods like wooden chimes and natural wood kitchenware for the domestic-minded, and tote bags for all tastes. You’ll also rub shoulders with local Balinese who shop here regularly." - Julia Eskins
