Jalan Legian Maps : https://maps.app.goo.gl/5PK6FU9gXKg46...

Legian Road or Jalan Legian is the main street that runs north–south from Kuta to Seminyak on the island of Bali in Indonesia. 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 well known 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. Legian is one of the cheaper locations after dark and the road will begin to get busy at 11pm, peaking in traffic around 1 or 2 in the morning before easing down again around 4:30am. With such a cluster of hotels, shops and bars around Legian, the street can experience intense amounts of traffic. It can take up to 10 or 15 minutes to move forward 1 mile during some rush hours.[citation needed]

Bombings
Just after 11pm on 12 October 2002, the popular tourist destination Paddy's Bar on Legian Road was subject to a suicide bombing. A memorial honoring the victims was built on Legian Road and dedicated two years after the attacks on 12 October 2002. The memorial is made of intricately carved stone and is lit up at night.

Jalan Legian adalah jalan utama yang menghubungkan Kuta dengan Seminyak di Bali. Jalan ini dipenuhi berbagai toko, bar, hotel, dan club. Karena banyaknya hiburan malam dan letaknya yang dekat dengan Pantai Kuta, membuat Jalan Legian menjadi salah satu tujuan wisata yang populer di antara wisatawan di Bali.

Jalan Legian sering disalah artikan dengan Legian. Padahal sebenarnya Jalan Legian adalah penghubung antara daerah Kuta dengan Legian. Sehingga Jalan Legian sebenarnya berarti penghubung ke Desa Legian, bukan keseluruhan wilayah Legian itu sendiri.

Bom Bali I di Jalan Legian
Pada 12 Oktober 2002, terjadi bom bunuh diri di Paddy's Bar di Jalan Legian. Bom ini bertujuan menyerang wisatawan mancanegara, namun kenyataannya juga memakan korban warga Indonesia sendiri.

Kini monumen peringatan didirikan di ground zero, dengan memuat nama korban peristiwa terorisme tersebut.
