Java. It is important as a ferry and commercial port providing a link with the larger neighboring island.

Gilimanuk must be the town on Bali with the fewest tourist sights. Visitors may be interested to watch the busy activity around the harbor, centered mainly on the ferry traffic, or to visit the market held every evening in the town center, with some good hot food stalls.

A few kilometers before Gilimanuk on the road from Denpasar interesting detours can be made to the little village of Palasari (with Roman Catholic inhabitants) and to Blimbingsari, most of whose inhabitants are Protestants.

There are regular ferry services from Gilimanuk to Ketapang on the neighboring island of Java (at the end of the main street bear left and follow the signposts). Places can be booked and tickets bought in the harbor. The crossing takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
