Named after Alexander the Great, the airport is one of two serving the country and is approximately 18 kilometres southeast of the capital.

Transportation and parking

A bus service conveniently links the city to the airport, making this an adequate transport option if you don’t have a large amount of luggage. However, if you do have excess luggage or are travelling with children, then the best choice is to pre-book a taxi. 

Door-to-door transfers and shuttles are also available, and can be booked through your hotel concierge or reception desk. There is space for 1,200 vehicles in both short and long-term parking areas. 

At the airport

Passengers flying from Skopje with Qatar Airways depart from the main terminal’s Departures hall. A VIP lounge is available for First and Business Class passengers. Check-in desks are efficient and queues short, but as with all airports, security checks are thorough and can be lengthy. Allow approximately two hours before your flight is due to depart to check in.

If you pause for a while and explore Denpasar you’ll discover an authentic glimpse of life in Bali away from the usual tourist resorts and hotels, and an incredibly warm and friendly welcome from its people.

Tourist attractions

At the very centre of the city (quite literally) is the Alun-Alun Puputan square, with its huge, four-faced statue, which is supposed to defend the four cardinal points of the compass. It’s also an incredibly useful landmark if you get lost at any time.

To find out more about the history and culture of the island and its people a visit to the Bali Museum is highly recommended. It is spread across four pavilions, with the main pavilion housing a collection of ancient stone, bronze and wooden artefacts.

The southern pavilion has exhibitions of the country’s textiles, while the northern pavilion focuses on the history of Balinese performance art. The central pavilion is devoted to Balinese spirituality.

The Lapangan Puputan Margarana park is a large open space in the heart of the city. You can’t miss the huge Bajra Sandhi monument, which dominates the park.

Bali’s capital is also full of temples that are exquisitely decorated, including the Palace of Satria and the Royal Temples, and the beautiful Pura Maospahit, which is believed to date back to the 14th century.
