My childhood haunt with many of us fascinated by the artistic and cultural richness Malaysia has to offer under 1 roof. The architecture of the building itself is worth the visit. In it many stalls including the Penang Pewter just as good as the Selangor Pewter. Many kerosene, kites, bags hand crafter and made with utmost skill and talent. The paintings are amazing. You could have your portrait painted for as little as $250.

Whatever you are looking for, you can find it here. Central Market is located in a touristic place in KL. Viral area of locals, tourists and visitors. Many shops, stalls and restaurants and cafes. Prices is not cheap.

From its original use as a wet market when originally opened to a Malaysian cultural center, Central Market was transformed. Inside one can find a variety of local handicraft stores including many selling batik clothing. Most of the items seems geared towards the tourists but interesting nonetheless. A food court and food stands promoted different types of Malaysian food. A photo collection on the second floor provided a brief history of the Central Market to the present. If anything worth a stop as it was air conditioned inside and quiet.

Visited as some markets are usually a good place for trinkets, clothing etc. This was a good clean and friendly market with all the stalls you would expect. Some touristy based ones with some more authentic clothing at good prices if you walk around. Easy to get to with public transport nearby.

I expected more. Stopped by this market in the morning and again mid afternoon another day. Both times, the market was rather empty and the stalls were all just touristy knick knacks....worth a look and quick walk through but don't expect too much.

My main aim to visit this market was because of the fish spa. Being in the area, it seemed the best opportunity to have my feet tickled by these tiny fish. Very little has changed since my last visit, but it is always worth a look. I did find though, that the restaurants upstairs closed earlier than what I thought they would. Perhaps it was just as well that there were plenty of restaurants outside to choose from for my evening meal.

Alright not the best, not a lot of quality or tat, just local markets reminded me of a uk Sunday market. Bit of a waste of time really. Alright for a walk through and a cheap spot of lunch.

An excellent place to experience "street shopping" in closed area with cooling systems. Good variety of shops and food options. Can do all your souvenir shopping and more when here. There was a band giving live performance, Christmas spirit was all around. All in all, will go back here every time I am in KL.

During my interaction with the taxi drivers and hotel staff, everyone recommended to go to Central Market for souvenir shopping. Now I can surely say that they were right!! Its a kind of a small shopping plaza with almost all the shops selling local handicrafts and souvenirs. The prices are also reasonable. It also has a food court and a couple of restaurants which serve good food. I would definitely recommend a visit to this place.

Central Market is located in the Chinatown area of KL. This is a fairly average mall but great for purchasing souvenirs of KL. 2 levels of similar items with reasonable fixed and haggle style prices. Worth a look if you’re visiting the neighbouring Petaling Street mall. It’s about 4 mins walk. Opening time is 10am.
