Denpasar is the youngest city in Bali, which is still only 15 years old since the day it was given official status as a self-governing municipality on the 27th of February 1992. The positioning as a self-governing municipality was a process after it was given the status of an administrative city. From a historical point of view. Denpasar, which was originally a part of Badung regency, has played an important part in the course of history, which leads to the present day. The war of the Puputan Badung which took place on the 20th of September in 1906, involved not only the family members of the palace, but also its many followers, representing the feeling of pride of the Balinese people in holding on their respect.
With an area of approximately 127.80 km2, the city of Denpasar has the most densely populated area in Bali. Denpasar, which started as the center of the kingdom of Badung, has now developed into a city of trade.
Continuing from the times when the area was still a part of the Badung regency, Denpasar has a major area for tourist accommodation facilities in Sanur which is lined with hotels, restaurants, and various facilities for visitors.
In order to guide its development in entering the third millenium, the city has proclaimed a slogan for Denpasar as a ‘Cultural City’. Some locations within the city, like Puputan Badung square, the Badung River, other areas, have been appropriately innovated to fulfill the norms of a cultural city. The ‘City Tour’ is a package, which was also created to support and sustain the quality of the locations mentioned above.
