One side ticket costs 22- 23 thousand rubles, and in high season prices jump up to 35 thousand, well, for holidays, and at all up to 42,000 rubles. As a rule, if you buy ticket tickets on your own, it will be a flight with a transfer. Although there are direct flights that are carried out by Transaero, as a rule, on Sundays. But most often, nevertheless, with a transflection (in Hong Kong, Seoul, Bangkok, Singapore and other cities. In cases with transfer, the flight will last from 14 hours).
The distance between Moscow and Denpasar - 10,055 kilometers, so fly at least 12 hours (under the conditions of the direct flight). CHINA Southern Airlines, Transaero, Garuda Indonesia, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, Korean Airlines, Qatar Airways, Hong Kong Airlines and Cathay Pacific fly from Moscow to Denpasar.

From the airport, many hotels take their guests on a free transfers (sometimes paid).
By car
Denpasar is located in the south of the island, and it is easily accessible by car or taxis from the main tourist regions of Bali. A trip from Cute, Legian and Seminyaka will take from 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the movement on the roads. Sanur is just 15 minutes east of the city center, and Ubud is 30 minutes to the north. Tabanan is a 40-minute drive away. Taxi from the aircraft will cost RP 70,000 to 100,000, depending on where specifically in Denpasar you are going to stay.
Bus
The main bus station Denpasar - Ubung, where Bemo stops ("Bemo" - omnipresent minibuses on Bali). Most buses from and on Java are departed from here.
- In and from Surabai (Java) - no less RP 120000 for travel on a night bus + a ferry trip between BanuvanGi and Gilimanuk. In Suraba, buses arrive at Bungurasih bus station. Paving every day at 7 pm, the duration of the expense is about 10 hours.
- It is also possible to carry out a lion by bus in and from most major cities on Java, including Jakarta, Jokyakarta, Bandung and Semaranga.
On BEMO
Bemo - regular minibuses, with a cabin for the driver and a passenger salon. Something like our minibus. BEMO was very actively used until the mid-1990s, but they go today.
Bemo ride almost all over the island (but for short distances), they go slower than ordinary buses, so let him take a lot of time from one village, and it costs it's not so little (mostly, because tourists are inflated with the price ). Major Bemo Station:
- Batubulan, 6 km north-east of the city center, drive between Denpasar, Center and East Island (from Besalek, Canditu, Kintamani, Clungking, Padanga, Ubud).
-Tegal, connect the West and Denpasar (drive from Kuta, Legian, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Sanur, Uluvatu).
-Bung, drive from the north and west to Denpasar and vice versa (from Hilimanuca, Negaru, Singarai, Tabanana)
Before entering this bus, ask the local resident, how much will it cost to go to the city - most likely, the driver will raise the price of ten times.
Do not forget that the bemo starts when the driver wants (as a rule, when the bus "is enough" stuffed with passengers). That is, sometimes this bus will stand for several hours, with the exception of early morning, when there are many people, and buses are filled quickly. In any case, you will not find any BEMO after 4 pm (well, or there will be extremely few of them).
By the way, Bemo can also be completely rented. Then you need to pay all expenses, including the lunchs of the driver and the cost of gasoline. And then you can ride anywhere. But in the tourist zone, deviated from a permanent route only Bemo with yellow numbers, but in the non-Russian zone, all the "minibuses" can be engaged. Bemo is planted without anywhere, but at stops or special parking lots. Although you can brake Bemo on the road. Just pull your hand, sending palm down. However, if you need to jump before the stop, shout toward the driver, the word "Kiri" - you will fall on the left (since on the island, as in all Indonesia, left-sided movement).
By train
In Denpasar there is no railway station, as there are no trains on Bali. But the Ubung bus station has an agreement with the Indonesian railway company Kereta API.
You can buy the so-called "train tickets" in Surabay, which includes traveling for a bus (with air conditioning) to BanuvanGi, steam, and then the train from Banuvanhibitions to Surabay. And vice versa, respectively. It is worth this "set" of approximately RP 154000 (on weekends) and RP 139000 (on weekdays). These prices include a small commission of the travel agency.
How to move around the city
Denpasar is a rather noisy and restless city, but in the city center you can safely move on foot. And you can still ride on:
Taxi
Pretty popular type of transport. The main thing is to bargain about the cost of travel.
BEMO
Bemo routes are extremely complex. In addition to the three bus terminals described above, there are three more in the city itself - Gunung Agung, Sanglah and Kerenge.If you are not very patient and not particularly adventure, it is better to leave Bemo for local residents. From one to another stop the fare somewhere RP 7000, although tourists can ask to pay much more. Taxis sometimes even cheaper, and, of course, faster and more comfortable. Choose yourself!
Motorcycle
As happened everywhere on Bali, the motorcycles are very easy to rent in Denpasar. Fortunately, rentals in the center a lot.
