Ubud Traditional Art Market
Pasar Seni Ubud

If traditional crafts are your souvenir of choice, this bustling art market is your one-stop shop for all things balinese. The chaotic alleyways are lined with stalls overflowing with handmade wares, mostly gathered from the neighbouring craft villages. 👍 Bargaining is key here, so never settle for the initial offer. Don't be shy, because it is common for the shopkeeper to call you back if you walk away. You should have little problem going home with your desired item at less than 50% of the initial price!

Day Three: Ubud Tour: This is one of the best places to get Bali souvenirs. 😻
Start your local shopping adventure at one of Bali’s most popular art markets. This place is so iconic that it was even featured in the 2010 film “Eat, Pray, Love” starring Julia Roberts! Have your fill of woven bags, hats, and baskets. They also have an assortment of silk scarves, figurines, and other handcrafted goods. Most of the items sold here come from the nearby art-centered neighborhoods of Tegallalang, Payangan, Peliatan, and Pengosekan. Peruse the stalls, and you'll see the craftsmanship that goes into every product. Talk your way to the best price; the Balinese vendors will be more than happy to give you a great deal!

Mercato Centrale (Firenze)
Most people bring clothes, shoes, bags, and fashion back from Italy. Dom and I bring back food. Shameless amounts of it. Truffles, dried pastas, olive oils and aged balsamic vinegar... and pack them in boxes 📦 and newspaper 🗞 courtesy of the hotel concierge. Overweight luggage is a real concern with all that balsamic vinegar and olive oils 😅 If you head over, go on an empty stomach. There’s plenty to eat, lots of little stalls, and your mouth will be kept pretty busy with the constant gobbling.
Stanley Market
One of the biggest outdoor markets in Hong Kong, Stanley Market is as much of a tourist attraction as it is a place to quench your hoarding habits. You can find almost anything here—from the essentials to the frivolous to the insane. (Triple-fused pentaminx 17x17x17 Rubik’s cubes, anyone?) Not everything is second-hand, but some items are recycled while some are handmade. The prices start off low, so there’s no need to play limbo. The area is a hotspot for pickpockets, though, so be careful!
Tongin Market
One of the city's longest-standing traditional markets. You can get a dosirak (lunchbox) then just fill it up with food from the different stalls, paid using old brass coins. Everything was delicious.
