The largest city and the capital of the beautiful island of Bali, Denpasar is a stunning blend of ancient and modern. From spectacular monuments and tranquil parks to glittering skyscrapers, it’s a friendly city that welcomes both business and leisure travellers.

Fly to Bali to discover a setting that attracts travellers of all types – from tranquillity-seekers to diehard surfers. Bali is just one of the almost 17,000 islands that make up Indonesia, but within its shores, it has endless contrasts for you to explore. Sandy beaches and rugged coastlines stand alongside volcanic hillsides, lush rainforests and traditional rice paddies.

Book your flight to Bali with Qatar Airways to experience all this and more, including some of the finest surfing and scuba-diving sites that the world has to offer.

Poland’s capital is well served by the modern and very busy Warsaw Chopin Airport. The airport was also previously known as Warsaw-Okecie Airport, and many taxi drivers will still refer to it as “Okecie” today.

The airport is one of Europe’s major air transport hubs, with over 300 flights daily to destinations all over the world. The friendly and efficient staff are passenger-focused, while facilities are excellent. Passengers flying from Warsaw with Qatar Airways will find this to be a pleasant location from which to begin their journey.

Transportation and parking

Buses provide the main public transport link to the airport, running between central Warsaw, including Warsaw Central Station and the Old Town.

Long-distance buses connect to other locations in Poland. Taxis are plentiful and can be pre-booked by your hotel concierge, and it is advisable to only use licensed taxis rather than hailing a cab at the side of the road. Journey time is approximately 30 minutes, depending on the time of day and traffic conditions. Parking at the airport is good, with four car parks offering both long and short-term parking at a very reasonable rate.

Arriving in Warsaw

Passengers flying from Warsaw with Qatar Airways depart from the main terminal (Terminal A).

The terminal is divided up into five areas (A, B, C, D, and E) so it is important to check on arrival where your flight is departing from by consulting the flight information boards. Security is very tight, so allow at least an hour and a half to two hours before your flight is due to depart to check in and go through all security and customs checks.

Facilities and amenities

Free wireless internet access of up to 30 minutes is available in the main terminal, while passengers using the VIP and Executive lounges can access the internet for free for up to four hours. There are three Executive lounges for first and business class passengers. The food court provides an excellent selection of local Polish dishes, coffee and pastries as well as more substantial restaurant meals.

Retail outlets include Duty Free, souvenir vendors, accessories and luxury goods. Mother and baby changing rooms are available, and the airport is wheelchair friendly with specially trained personnel happy to help less physically able travellers on request.

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.
