The best shopping streets in Bali run through the island’s most popular resort areas, such as Kuta, Legian and Seminyak, as well as the popular central resort area and cultural destination of Ubud. They’re perhaps the most frequented paths within each area, where you can enjoy a pleasurable stroll and discover most of the shopping hotspots and points of interest, including traditional art markets, fashion boutiques, modern malls and art galleries.
Besides the colorful array of shopping spots that you can find along these roadsides, some of these great walking streets in Bali also feature an eclectic mix of restaurants, roadside cafés and lively bars that serve everything from light bites and a hearty mix of local and international cuisine to a nice cold Bintang to cool off during your shopping adventures or leisurely walks. We’ve compiled Bali’s best shopping, dining and walking streets below to get you started.

Jalan Pantai Kuta
Kuta
- Shoppers
As one of Kuta’s main streets that interconnects several other pathways and shortcuts, Jalan Pantai Kuta is perhaps the most recognizable walking street. Half of it even runs parallel to the namesake beach. The 1-way street follows on from where Legian’s primary nightlife and shopping street, Jalan Legian, ends. It starts from the so-called ‘Bemo corner’ intersection, where you can find many small souvenir shops, spas and art kiosks.
Though you’re most likely to start on the sands of Kuta Beach, the half-length of the street that runs up to the beach is worth exploring too, with its mix of local art shops, jewelry boutiques, international surf brand outlets and cafés.

Jalan Raya Ubud
Ubud
- Shoppers
Read moreJalan Raya Ubud is the main street that runs right through the center of Ubud, with both of its sides dotted with a mix of fashion boutiques, batik and antique galleries and local art shops. A focal landmark here is the Ubud Art Market, just across the road from the Puri Saren Royal Palace. The total length of Jalan Jalan Raya Ubud spans about 2 km.
Your walks here will usually include sightseeing and several stops around the hub, as there are several landmarks other than the palace worth exploring. It’s easy to navigate Ubud’s many interconnecting side streets, which are dense mini shopping streets themselves.

Poppies Lane
Legian
- Budget
Read moreIn between Kuta and Legian, there are 2 Poppies Lanes that serve as shortcuts to both areas. Poppies Lane is also popular for its selection of budget stays, particularly if you’re looking for a cheap guesthouse, homestay, or losmen (inn), right in the middle of Bali’s 2 most popular beach resort areas. From here, you can easily reach Kuta Beach, or the exciting nightlife hub of Legian, all within an easy 15-minute stroll.
The lane was named after the Poppies Bali Restaurant, which has been around since the early 1970s and is believed to have been developed by former Californian restaurateurs.

Garlic Lane (Jalan Sahadewa)
Legian
- Shoppers
Garlic Lane shopping street is named after a restaurant of the same name on Jalan Sahadewa, one of the out-of-the-way and narrow side streets off Legian’s main roads. This 200-meter-long route provides you with a lot of variety, comprising art shops, DVD stores, fashion boutiques, woodcarving galleries and others. The lane forms part of regular shopping walks through Legian, connecting the restaurant-lined Jalan Padma and the Merta Nadi Art Market on Jalan Melasti.
Most consider the Garlic Lane shopping street scene to be better than Kuta’s and it’s the first street you can conveniently walk to from the end of Poppies Lane after leaving the beach.
