Places to Visit in Singaraja

Often referred to as Lion City and Located on the north coast just east of Lovina, Singaraja was once the capital of Bali under Dutch colonial administration. In the large regency of Buleleng, Singaraja has a lot to offer tourists and travellers alike; not just in the city but also offers great day trips to many interesting attractions.

Being an old city, it is a place not renowned for people to stay overnight or for a few days and most travellers travel further along the coastline to places like Lovina where the accommodation is more prodigious and of better quality. I have grown fond of Singaraja and over the past decade have visited this interesting town many times. What I like about the city is its charm with its wide, tree-lined streets and Dutch colonial architecture present every where you look.

Naturally, being steeped in history, Singaraja has some great places to visit as well as some really good warungs and restaurants, and, not to forget the numerous market places. A turn down any corner will reveal a surprise and the people are amongst the friendliest on the island. There is excellent budget accommodation available and a stay here for a day or so will certainly be rewarding.
