To reach Sukawati Market, you have several transportation options. From Kuta or Seminyak, a taxi is convenient, costing Rp150,000 to Rp200,000 with a 45-minute travel time. Ride-hailing apps like Gojek or Grab can also be used for booking. For a local experience, consider the Trans Sarbagita bus from Ubung Terminal to Gianyar, costing Rp3,500. Buses run from 05:00 to 21:00 every 15-30 minutes, but you’ll need to change buses at Batubulan Terminal and take local transport or an ojek to Sukawati Market. Renting a motorbike, costing Rp50,000 to Rp70,000 per day, offers flexibility but requires a driver’s license, helmet, and adherence to traffic rules.

Sukawati Market does not charge an entrance fee, so you can freely explore the entire market area at no cost. The market is primarily known as a center for art and handicrafts, so the expenses you incur depend only on the items you purchase.

Sukawati Market is open every day from 08:00 AM to 06:00 PM. The best time to visit is in the morning when the market first opens, as the atmosphere is still cool and not too crowded.
