Jalan Legian

Legian Road

Legian Road or Jalan Legian is the main street that runs north-south from Kuta to Seminyak on the island of Bali in Indonesia.^[1] Legian Road contains a variety of shops, bars, hotels and dance clubs. Its proximity to the beach and its prominent night life make it host to thousands of tourists. Legian is notorious for shopping and partying, with many areas offering traditional market shopping where shop owners are amenable to haggling and usually give shoppers an initial inflated price.^[2]

Bombings

Just after 11pm on 12 October 2002, the popular tourist destination Paddy's Bar on Legian Road was subject to a suicide bombing^[3]. A memorial honoring the victims was built on Legian Road and dedicated two years after the attacks on 14 October 2002.
