First time coming to this place. The central market is larger than expected (compared to the photos), and there are alot of interesting flea market like stalls and stalls selling collector's items. Definitely better than Chinatown as it is air conditioned and sell local products instead of counterfeit stuff. There is a food court on the second floor.

Central Market in Malaysia is a vibrant cultural hub located in Kuala Lumpur. Spread over two floors, it showcases the country's rich heritage through a plethora of arts, crafts, and culinary delights. The market, established in 1888, has evolved into a haven for both locals and tourists. The architecture itself is a blend of modern and traditional influences, reflecting Malaysia's diverse cultural tapestry. Visitors can explore a wide array of stalls offering traditional batik prints, intricate handicrafts, and unique souvenirs. The market is a treasure trove for those seeking authentic Malaysian artistry. Beyond shopping, Central Market is a culinary paradise. The food court beckons with an array of Malaysian delicacies, from Nasi Lemak to Char Kway Teow, satisfying every palate. It's not just a market; it's a gastronomic journey through Malaysia's diverse flavors. Art enthusiasts will find joy in the market's Art Lane, where local artists display their creations. From paintings to sculptures, this space embodies the vibrant Malaysian art scene. Regular cultural performances further enhance the immersive experience, offering glimpses into the nation's traditional dances and music. Central Market stands as a cultural bridge, connecting the past with the present. It preserves Malaysia's heritage while embracing the dynamic spirit of the modern world. As you wander through its lively aisles, you're not just shopping; you're delving into the heart of Malaysia's artistic and cultural soul.

There's plenty of art and souvenirs shops with interesting items for sale! This is an example of what we found! What a delightful array of colourful sandals of all types and sizes! Worth a visit for those who love such knick knacks and gifts.

Pleasantly surprised by the activity at the Central Market. There were a lot more activities and the place looks significantly more vibrant than a year ago. I am delighted that there were lots of local sellers and products being offered. Prices seems very reasonable hence good for locals as well as tourist. The new anchor tenant has a lot to offer....groceries as well as ready to eat local cuisines. Overall, happy to see the Central Market liven up post the pandemic and would certainly visit more regularly. Note that the building itself is about 143 years old. Suggest those who may not know to read up on its interesting history. I have had the opportunity to visit this place when it was a market - full fledged market i.e. wet and dry!

A nice place to visit if you are visiting KL. This place is clean and air conditioned with many stalls selling clothes and souvenirs. There’s a supermarket and a food court located located within the compound. So if you are around the area and looking for a place to cool down you might wanna consider this place.

More than 20yrs, didn't come inside although passed by every time. Because heart-wrenching, bring back my childhood memories - grandpa owned a fruit stall in this wet market when I was a kid, came here very often until government turned into tourist attraction centre for art-crafts, souvenirs and handicrafts. Surprising, it getting pretty and prettier...so many unique shops. Sadly, there are many shops closed down due to pandemic crisis because customers here mainly are tourists.But I find so much fun, so many unique handicrafts and souvenirs, tempting to buy everything here, never can find elsewhere in KL.

The central market ate very crowded with tourists and local residence 🌺 the vibe here is vibrant. Lots of jelwery and souvenir stores. Food stores are on second floor. This market i believe is a tourist attraction. The interior looks amazing with the flags. Great check-in spot ❤️

A very touristy market where you will get all the knick knacks to take back as a souvenir. You can find things at all price points here. We did buy certain souvenirs, the quality of those were good. The market was not very big, atleast the main building can be covered in a hour or so. Parking is very limited here so it is better to go using public transport.

Mehhh. Far too sterile, far too crowded, especially on weekends it is a walk through hell. Imagine 40c outside and almost as hot inside with hordes of guileless tourists, lots of these mainland hordes ,yikes, being dragged through this embarrassing market where absolutely nothing is even slightly interesting to buy. All the souvenirs are made in china , so are the tourists buying them. Oh the irony 😂😂🤡🤡

This old building that once was a traditional market is now the main spot in the city for souvenirs and traditional art. You have all kinds of shops, food court, coffee bars and restaurants, really worth the visit.

This is a market where you can buy souvenirs and local Malaysian products. The market is not big but good spaces to explore. The products are authentic and good. Some shops are colorful and vibrant. The best time to explore it after afternoon but during daylight, it is less crowded. Both cash and card are using for payment. Disabled people can enter easily in the ground floor but no option to go upper floors. This is only three storied market.

Really enjoyed wondering around the many shops can buy clothes, coffee, cakes souvenirs, groceries etc. top floor had food court with many foods to chose from. Nice exhibition of the history of the market, was quite busy and had a nice atmosphere, definitely worth a visit

If you're a big fans of souvenirs, this place is a must visit. So many stores on the ground floor and 1st floor selling souvenirs. Public toilet located inside this facility so don't wait no more if you have severe explosive diarhea. Food court located on 1st floor. Central market open from 10am onwards. But it is advisible for you to come at 11am the earliest. Because at 10am the merchant busy preparing their shop. Come early of you don't mind helping them sweeping the floor or something. If you walk outside the central market you will notice so many homeless people. During my visit they are busy having breakfast. Sad. I hope the best for all of them.

I thought it was closed for a renovation during the MCO and was looking forward to the new look but it still looks the same. Part of the ground floor is hoarded up. Although there are less shops now but still an interesting place to shop and enjoy the air conditioning. The kasturi walk outdoor is closed unfortunately. The lovely wau structures are still there. Years ago there were many local artists painting on the spot and selling their original master pieces there. It was my all time No. 1 tourist spot which i showed off to my oversea guests. Now there are mainly souvenir shops and a place to shop for handicraft gifts. I collect fridge magnets and i still shop for good bargains here. I used to lunch at the food court upstairs too. Now I parked here and eat at the many choices of shops nearby. Parking is quite limited though.

If you love adventure, then central market is the place to be. They have all kinds of shops, each one having a theme and being distinct on its own. It was a very pleasurable experience. Prices tend to be on the higher side as this is a tourist area too. Great experience nevertheless.

Central Market is the Heart of all the Malaysian traditions come to life where there are cultural shows & displays showcasing here. Treasures & artifacts can be found here for the treasure hunters. Arts & crafts of Malaysian traditions and souvenir can be found for Tourists to bring back for found memories.

Best tourist attraction to visit for buying some souvenirs and items. It is also available for food and beverage service especially for those who are food hunters to discover any menu that they interested to try. Moreover, Central Market is also organise any events that available according to certain time and it was a convenient place to hold any events. Recommended tourist attractions for the tourists. 👍

Nice to have a modern air conditioned shopping experience to get away from the heat. An assortment of restaurants from Malay to Thai provide a good eating variety while the clothes shops range from cheap touristy fare to nicer boutiques. There is even a food mini museum inside that relays the history of the area.

One of the most historical buildings in Kuala Lumpur that must be visited by just about anyone, local or visitor. Coming from a 100+ year old history, the Central Market was formerly a wet market, converted to what it is today. The place is perfect for souvenir hunters, but suffered a massive blow to business due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Now it's slowly repositioning itself back to the game, but it will take some time to see this place in it's full grandeur.

This is the grand Bazaar of Kuala Lumpur. You may find traditional clothes, products, souvenirs of Malaysia in here. There are some Chinese shops selling special stones which they believe it brings luck. On the second floor, there is a huge local restaurants serving all ethnicities' cuisines available in here. Not the best quality but the most diverse one.

A very nice market place to visit. You can spent a whole day inside, manay shop and stall that you get what ever you want for. Recommended for local and foreigner. You definitely can not stop yourself from buying... Please enjoy.

Conveniently placed in City centre. 3 minutes walk from Chinatown and 2 minutes from Kuala Lumpur train station. 2 floors of various shops and food and drinks outlets. Loads of local craftsmanship available as the big food court based on the 1st floor. Air conditioned building. Feast for the eyes. Great place for shopping or just to relax. Must see if you're in Kuala Lumpur

Great market, was so thankful for the air conditioning.. lots of boutique shops selling hand crafted goods and souvenirs etc etc. Food hall as well which was inexpensive. I would have bought some items if I had the space to arty them home. Had a fish foot spa at a place called Cute Fish Spa- 10 ringgit for 10 minutes which I thought was a bargain for 10 minutes worth of giggling 😂

A must visit place if you like to have a deeper understanding about Malaysian art and craft and its culture. This is a lovely place to visit during any day especially weekend because they will have cultural performance show. Might take you about half an hour if you’re just to window shopping, it will take you about 2 hours if you would like to participate in batik painting, or some fish spa or try the food in this place.

(Translated by Google) The most representative place of Malaysian culture and art. (Original) 最代表馬來西亞文化藝術的地方。

Best for tourists and even local people if you are looking for local food, souvenirs or art pieces. Good place for shopping. Can get many things with good quality. Air-conditioned and expanded spaces with nicely decorated alley selling things from different races and cultures in Malaysia.A very well maintained and a very beautiful market. The prices are not on a lower side, but a tourist will get most of the things as souvenirs to gift their family and friends. I will definitely recommend you to visit. Easy to reach by metro or by Go KL free bus. Enjoy shopping.

Love this place for random stores allaying around. Tons of foods and small sme stores to be supported. Inside got ac so no worries if you walk from the train station. Parking is also big space so no worries.

Nice place for shop local handmade stuffs and souvenirs with very affordable price. The chocolate store was good with many yummy options and cheap too. There is a food court upstairs for food and drinks from 8-12 rm for a decent meal. Love to go back for shopping or having lunch in the ÁC all the time I’m in KL 😊😊

Central Market is an absolute gem! From the moment I stepped inside, I was blown away by how clean and organized everything was. The sellers are not only incredibly friendly but also knowledgeable about their craft. What's even better is that shopping here won't break the bank. It's a bit cheaper than the tourist spots, making it a win-win situation for everyone! Shopping at Central Market is an experience you don't want to miss out on!

Good place to go for local souvenirs. There are handcrafted items, leather shoes, bags, belts, wallets, clothes, etc. almost everything you want. You maybe lucky to get some entertainment in the evening or night. There are also eateries where you can grab your meal. Art is a thing of the market. A place to visit for sure.

Nice place, neat, not too crowded, the concept with the annex kinda unique, a little retro vibes. Few choices of culinary, little cafes with unique interior, cute and delicious desserts, but no too many traditional food here. Perfect place for a stroll.

I loved Central market, it’s actually really central everytime I stroll around the city I found myself by the Central Market lol. Good place to get some souvenirs, shop, grocery, and eat. They do have a food court in two floors, prices were reasonable and the food was good.

Neat and organised market.. Consist mostly of dresses.. A superb food court is there, which is surrounded by Malaysian, Chinese, Thai and Indonesian food varieties.. Neat toilets are there on payment of fee..

Worth paying a visit. A market that dates back to almost 100 years ago. It gives you a window into the culture, heritage and arts of indigenous Malaysians. Lots of nice souvenirs. And if you are are looking for traditional costumes of Malaysia, this place offers a wide selection for you.

(Translated by Google) One desitination is mandatory if you go to KL. We can buy souvenirs typical of Malaysia at this location. Many items with high quality. In addition, here you can also buy Malaysian traditional fabrics, Malaysian special foods (there is a food court) as well as various Malaysian special foods for sale at this location. The price is relatively cheap because the central market is one of the souvenir sales centers in Malaysia. (Original) Salah satu desitinasi wajib jika ke KL. Kita bisa beli souvenir khas malaysia di lokasi ini. Banyak barang dengan kualitas tinggi. Selain itu disini juga bisa beli kain khas malaysia, makanan khas malaysia (ada food court) juga bermacam-mqcam makanan khas malaysia dijual dilokasi ini. Harganya relatif murah karena central market ini salah satu pusat penjualan oleh-oleh di malaysia.

I would give 5 stars if there's a lot more about arts and crafts such as more about designs, paintings, more food stalls but overall it's a nice place to visit if you're looking for traditional arts and cratfs. The price range seems average to me and the people are nice. thanks! 📸

🥰 love it... its been a while since I set foot here... and it really changed for better (especially the toilet 😄) a MUST tourist attraction.

Been here since i was small when my father brought me here. Then i brought along my family. Very nostalgic place. I even purchased drawing here from the artist. Really love the setup. If you looking for souvenir, momento or something to remember your visit to Malaysia 🇲🇾, this is the place with lots of choices to make including key chains, tshirt, magnets, drawings, pewter etc

Such a wonderful place to experience the local food and culture! We had our first Malaysian meal here and it was so good! We pretty much ate here our whole stay; they have so many different varieties of food to choose from and also vendors with snacks and souvenirs so we could shop as well! Loved the hustle and bustle of it all! Note: Visited prior to COVID, so things may be slightly different.

(Translated by Google) A must visit place in Kuala Lumpur. Unlike, big shopping malls it is like a street shopping center. You can buy unique gifts in nominal price. Some of Malaysian art and crafts are also available. I rate this place 9 / 10.Mal: A must-visit place in Kuala Lumpur. Not as big a mall as a street mall. You can buy unique gifts at nominal prices.

Tidak seperti pusat membeli-belah besar seperti pusat membeli-belah jalanan. Anda boleh membeli hadiah unik dalam harga nominal. Sebilangan seni dan kraf Malaysia juga ada. Saya menilai tempat ini 9/10.

Due to the current Covid situation, there are fewer stalls open for business and desperate vendors urging you to make a purchase. However, they aren't desperate enough to lower the prices. Nevertheless, many items are reasonably priced and worth buying. You must not buy on your first attempt scouting around. Compare prices as you will see a vast difference in pricing from stall to stall on similar items. The same shawl I purchased from a stall for RM10, is sold at RM20 at another. So, take time to browse through.

Qiet little good as well

It was a hot sunny day! Perfect for taking photos! Central market has a lot of trinkets if you are looking for souvenirs. Upstairs most happening place would be the food court. Many shops are not open but many are still operating and the items are very very nice. Hand bracelet, crafts, traditional attire, custom letterings on mugs or plates and ceramic items etc... Custom portrait paintings are available still at the end (outside) of Central Market.. many oil paintings are sold there too..

This place is a ghost town. I believe if it wasn’t cause of pandemic, a lot of tourists will be here. This place isn’t a place for locals as they sell a lot of touristy stuff like keychains, traditional handmade stuff, postcards, etc. However, towards the end of the market, there’s few places that sell paintings and do portrait paintings which were fascinating. We found this hidden gallery and I took some photos.

Nice place to find special stuff of malaysia. Affordable and people can bargain. Food, clothes, miniature. Sometime the market held a dance show

Great place where you can find all sort of things: chinese, indian, batiks, arts and crafts… also you can find local food with good prices and so yummy.

Decided to come here during my weekend .Take a look every level of this building.Quite impressive every corner have their own tagging like lorong melayu ,lorong china,etc but For lorong kolonial,need to improve. Now there are few activies can do here, like do your own batik at RM20.or pay artist to paint your face at range RM50++. Or as usual buy fridge magnet 😀.price for henna art also cheap here Rm5 for almost full hand. At level 2 also have galeri 3D.😀 Not too much activities for children.They might be bored 😅

How can you not love Central Market? Its one of the first successful example of an Adaptable Re-use project, an alient concept in KL at that time..When they wanted to turn a wet market into a tourist attraction, naturally most people were sceptical...but that didnt stop these mavericks...and what a huge success it turned out eventually!! For me personally, the opening of the Central Market coincided with my return from oversea after completing my studies..and obviously became my favorite hangout...those were the days...😊😊😊

Great place to visit. The day i came got borneo native market. So nice to see sarawak famous things in KL.

As a local, I would like to recommend this place for those who first-time visit Malaysia or art enthusiast foreign visitor. I have been 5 years not come visit this place, and 2 days ago, I managed to pop by here 😅 although 3/4 of the shops or stalls are closed (coz I come at night) , but i believe there are a lot of interesting stuff at day time you can explore!! Very Malaysia and Traditional Malay feel when you standing here 😆

A place full of history, until now still operating with a new look decorating on this place. Various activities can be done here including selling souvenirs, batik embroidery, portrait painting and many more. On weekend also have some event here. Suitable also for schools visit to increase their knowledge about this place.

Central Market is one of the oldest building Kuala Lumpur. One stop place selling unique Malaysian craft and souvenirs. It has 200 traders under one roof. KL. It now houses a collection of antique, collectors, art and novelty stores. There is excellent food court on the first level which is very busy and has a great selection of different foods including Malay, Thai and Chinese.

Looking for local and Asian crafts and arts, this is the place to be. There are shops, stalls, and a food court in here. There are plenty of interesting hand-made items, clothings, art pieces, wooden crafting, copper wares, and many other things. Inside this place is air-conditioning and airy with high ceilings. This place was once a wet market, a long time ago, and still maintaining the original structure of the building. Parkings can be found in front of entrance and around the place.

This place is in chinatown. It’s a closed air conditioned marketplace that has all the chinese shop you would need. You can get traditional items, souvenirs, clothes, fruits & juices etc here. Prices are lower as compared to other nearby malls in the area. Also the shopkeepers are very friendly.

A place full of souveniers, batiks, potraits etc. After so many years i comeback here with my daughters and there's a lot of changing around. So many tourist from others country. There is different event every month which is to attract people come here. Some event are very entertaining and good for introducing our culture

An old but refreshing market place and an amazing landmark of Kuala Lumpur. From batik dresses to tshirts, various souvenirs, leather items, antiques and a lot more you can find in this market. They also have a food court with variety of food and drink options to relax in between.

Lots of good quality shops and lots with things to take home ad reminders or pressies! Food Hall upstairs is great. I had Nepalese Momo. There were veg and meat options

A very interesting shopping center, a perfect place to buy souvenirs and local Malaysia product in fact in my opinion better that Bukit Bintang. You might find this place a little bit boring though if you are a local.

They have pasar besar now. New upgrade 😲 we can buy groceries!! Went there because they made a Pasar Gadis event and it was a very fun experience for me. The central market will be fun if pergi waktu dorang buat event.

Nice old colonial building converted into shopping malls primarily selling souvenirs to tourist. It is fully air cond now so environment is conducive. Price of souvenirs are quite reasonable. It is also near to Petaling Street so can visit these places at one go. Worth to visit at least once if happen to be in KL.

Central Market in Kuala Lumpur is an iconic cultural hub, offering a vibrant mix of Malaysian art, crafts, and cuisine. The market's architecture is captivating, and its shops and stalls showcase a diverse range of handicrafts and souvenirs. The dining options feature authentic Malaysian cuisine, while cultural performances and events add to the lively atmosphere. Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Central Market provides a unique and accessible opportunity to explore and experience the richness of Malaysian culture.

Took my mom there a few days ago. She hadn’t been there since 1979! We had a great time. Scored some tasty local coffee and chocolates when we were there. Worth a visit for foreign visitors and a must visit for Malaysians 👌🏻

Great place for shopping. Suveniors here are unique and quite cheap. And great quality. It’s also a good place to grab a quick snack. There lots to see inside and outside

The pride of Malaysia in the city. After the many years, me returning to Central Market and feeling so proud of this, must be said as our Malaysian number one tourist attraction. Souvenirs, arts and craft and the art gallery by itself. So amazing, so admirable and so meaningful. Must do. Even for Malaysians who have not visited Central Market. Whether you shop or not. Being in Central Market is an honour for all Malaysians and of course, tourists, Central Market must be on your do list.

Worth visiting. Historic place and you will be also able to get many handicraft items.

Great place to pick up gifts and souvenirs. Not a real market like chow kit, but a tourist hangout. If you haggle a bit you can still get decent prices though. Don't miss out on the food court up stairs. The food is good and the price is very reasonable for the area.

One of the Malaysia famous old building and inside they selling various of Asia handicrafts items.

Lots of shops in a covered air conditioned space. Mostly handiworks and clothes. The place also has a couple of coffee shops on the ground floor and a food court on the second floor. Don't forget to haggle before you buy something!

Went there today but was close for renovation from 1 July - 31 Aug 2020

One stop to get Malaysian culture handicraft. Various type of product that represent Malaysia multi racial can be found here. Tourist attraction placed.

Best place to hangout

Verryyy convenience!!

Good place to visit, got a lot of beautiful art there and I enjoy ootd and shopping!!

Bad, full of illegal foreign workers

(Translated by Google) This place not like last time, now days full of foreigners run business over here. No more Malaysia culture. This place is not like the last time, it is now operated on a day full of foreigners. There is no longer a Malaysian culture. Tempat ini tidak seperti dulu, sekarang hari yang penuh dengan orang asing menjalankan perniagaan di sini. Tidak ada lagi budaya Malaysia.

super

Like a bazaar. Lots of clothing and little stuff, nothing special though. Quality of products isn't that good and one food seller tripled the price when they saw us. Old woman selling food.

Comfortable place for souvenirs

(Translated by Google) Centered by "various kinds of typical countries, there are by" typical Malaysians, by "typical Thai, by" even typical Turkish, there is why the central market is called the art market, because it sells works of art. The location is close to petailing street. Access to the central market is also very easy to go by KL bus that is free, or can also use the MRT down at the art market station. (Original) Pusat oleh" berbagai macam khas negara, ada oleh" khas Malaysia, oleh" khas Thailand, oleh" khas turki pun ada, itu kenapa central market disebut pasar seni, karena menjual hasil karya seni. Lokasi dekat dengan petailing street. Akses menuju ke central market pun sangat mudah bisa dengan go bis KL yg free , atau bisa juga pakai MRT turun di stasiun pasar seni.

Old market, now everything is for tourists. But there are some interesting things to buy. But you have to search. The food court is good.

(Translated by Google) There are a lot of cheap souvenirs there, I recommend you take a little tour there and not Far from Chinatown (Original) On n'y trouve pas mal des souvenirs pas chers je vous conseille de faire un petit tour la bas et non Loin du quartier chinois

Nice place

Good place to visit

afordable price to bought souvenir

(Translated by Google) The oldest mall in Malaysia (Original) اقدم مول بماليزيا

One of the places that you can't miss in Kuala Lumpur

Great tourist place for souvenir shopping, local snacks and clothing that you would also find in night markets. The experience is much better than night market with it being air conditioned and clean. There is a lane of open air little stores of essentially what you can find indoors as well. Local labels such as panda eyes and laluna can be found here as well. The second story has a food court but be mindful that the food's out for a while due to the low traffic, it might not be that good anymore in the afternoon. The thing that is worth buying is the shawl, and I won't pay anything beyond RM10 for an ordinary one.

One of the must visit places in Kuala Lumpur

Very good place ..very nostalgic

Prices are high, better go to chinatown

Nice to see but a lot smaller than anticipated. Don’t go out of your way to visit but if you are in the area it’s nice to walk through. Lots of souvenirs. “Name brand” clothing.

(Translated by Google) In the style of the Grand Bazaar, which is on the world heritage list, it is the place where you can have a comfortable taste without sticking to your side. (Original) Dünya mirası listesinde olan kapalı çarşı tarzında, esnafin yakaniza yapışmadan rahat tahat gezebileceginiz yer.

Quite an interesting market and a big variety of different businesses. Pretty clean, not the best.

It’s not big yet it’s a cut place to walk around

Everybody should visit here

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere is more delicious especially the number 1 store and food cort next to the stairs, buy a lot of discounts. Just the key locks straight to the cheap side door (Original) Lbh enak suasana nya apalagi toko yg no 1 Dpn food cort dkt tangga, beli byk kasi diskon banyak. Pernik2 kunci lurus saja dkt pintu samping murah2

(Translated by Google) Less attractive than before ... many empty tables (Original) Kurang tarikan berbanding dahulu...byk meja kosong

Boutique shopping and foodie hot spot where colonial heritage and contemporary architecture collide in an interesting side setting.

Central market began life as a wet market in 1888, built by city’s Chinese Kapitan-Yap Ah Loy. Transformed into a centre of Malaysian culture, art and handicraft in 1980. Definitely a great place to visit if you looking for local souvenirs with reasonable price. And 5 minutes walk to China Town(Petaling Street).

Very good place for tourists looking for souvenirs and trinkets

good

Big place. Cheap things. If you want searching good culiner come here. I love to buy choco at here because its cheaper than another place. Hope can be back here with my toddler after covid end

Zakir Batik in the Central Market has tremendous varieties of batiks, crafts and souvenirs at the best price. Truly worth buying souvenirs here! The shop is on the 2nd floor.

One of the heritage building in city of Kuala Lumpur, built on 1888. After 132 years the conservation work is doing well maintained the function and history, Beautiful building. But some problem need improvement, marketing of CM need to attract the youngest generation, In this period many SME must faced the less income...

I came to meeting friend. Having lunch at the foodcourt. Clean & quiet dining place, suitable to have chit chat here. New management just took over a month ago,not so many outlet. A santa guy cheer us with a song. Giveaway free candy & toy as Xmas is coming. Retail & souvenir shop still maintain.

Loved the fish nibbling my feet. Left there with really clean tootsies. Lots of stalls to wander around and I parted with lots $$$$$ but had a great time

A pale shadow of its former vibrant and busy hub days just before the Covid 19 pandemic nationwide lockdown. Due to it, customers were few and far between with a noticeable number of shoplots shuttered up or down, possibly due to poor business and uncertainties of the impending return of tourists, both local and foreign, which was has been its lifeline since it was converted originally from a wet market to a center of attraction just a stone throw away from the iconic Chinatown. The premises is still in tip top condition with plenty of its beautifully and tastefully arrayed quaint shops selling an assortment of items from souvenirs to foods and clothes. It also boasts of as a place of art with shops selling paintings and a centre for self portrait loving customers intending to immortalize their good look for time immemorial. As a whole, a very nice and conducive place to spend time in for your tired feet or just window shopping.😃😎👋

Pasar Seni has some hidden gems when you're looking for local crafts and antiques. I came here just recently to buy some batik masks, sewed by the shop owner from Terengganu. It is a little sad to see that the market isn't as it used to be during the Covid times, but hopefully it will pick up again once travel is a thing again. I still like to come down here sometimes to wile away the time.

I'm like to atau & talking at my friend kiosk there... But now in January 2021 PKPP not finish yer... All kiosk must closed early... Open at 0900hrs must closed at 1800hrs...

can be better. due to covid19, many restaurants closed.

Is a heritage place. Mostly handicrafts items sold here and one of the tourist attraction of Malaysia.

So many thing regarding malaysian culture can buy here. A unique item also can be collected here. The price is pricey but worth it.

Nice place then purchase lots of products verity

Nothing much only the surroundings places look nice

Has a old world charm and a nice ambiance. Very few people though because of the ongoing problems.

Lovely place for local products. It is like a flee market with stalls, can bargain. Not much options for food so eat before u go.

Great place to buy Malaysia's souvenirs as it offers various options from your typical keychains or t-shirts till the rare rotan furnitures

Good for shopper

definitely a lot of choices for local souvenirs and handicrafts. though pricey, but you'll get a good quality of souvenirs for that price. most of it are handmade, hence the price!

Still a great place to find and buy local handicraft and souvenirs. Ample parking space. But sadly, during this Covid-19 pandemic there is hardly any crowd there. The food court on the 2nd floor was also rather empty. I ordered some drinks but they were too sweet. It was at 4pm and there were no kuih2 being sold by any of the stalls. The stalls were mainly selling lunch or dinner meals. Otherwise, the place still retains the attraction and value for local and international visitors to come.

Love this place.

Old Edwardian1998. Nice person. Antiques.

Variety of arts and crafts can be found here.

Love the new and improved CM. Sure needs our support as it was quite empty due to CMCO. Way more interesting than a mall

Too many malays feels dirty.

Went here on end of December 2020. No tourist of course. The place so quite. All the restaurant open but empty. Lets support our local business!! I make short video on this trip. Watch at Dian Eleanor TV youtube 😊

A lot of shops has closed down during the pandemic. But it's still worth a stroll

The Batik Selection area is quiet nice.

less crowded due to current situation. love going to level two food court there. it is hot but the food is delicious. it also have shops selling chocolates besides stuff like souvenirs keychain clothes etc and yeah as usual paintings for sale

Very convenient for the MRT station. Had plenty interesting shops and right next to Chinatown so there's lots to explore. Be prepared to haggle!

Strict SOP measures here right now. All stalls still open for business

An iconic building and tourists attraction in the heart of KL. A colonial-days built KL Central fresh food Market was transformed into a tourist spot few decades ago. It's the ideal place for souvenirs and handicrafts. We brought several foreign guests here to shop and hunt for local handicrafts and most of them were happy with their purchases. It's also a place for a good meal and relaxing hightea breaks.

Is best place to get most of home decor here... But sadly also now many shops have closed down due to the MCO.. Hopefully more will open back in the future..

Central Market is an indoor modern market. There are tourism information center, money changer, restaurant, and handicraft shops

It's really nostalgic and traditional culture of Malaysia where you can visit and buy souvenirs. The place is crowded with art and authentic oldies stuff and relic

The place is very quiet without tourists nor locals. There're more workers than customers. Old Town Coffee seems closed. Unless international borders open, many of the businesses there may fold

Went to the Tanamera store there. Bought my favourite scents. Some stores in Central Market are open while others have closed. The artists at the annex building were, however, hard at work.

Floor plan changed. Not many shops open even I came on Sunday. But, for tourist, it is a must place to visit. Recommended. Cheap souvenir, craft souvenir, handmade.

Good place. Closes at 6.00 pm due to pandemic situation. You can buy antique and artistic items there.

Some shops are still closed due to the pandemic but slowly shops are opening up again. Relatively quiet compared to before.

They started to move on their business and I noticed a few lots of shops are already emptied, very sad scenario, over which this place was and still is a legendary historic place once was very crowded with visitors and now those who still is persevere with current casual difficulties during this pandemic period of time, I bow with my heart on respect for you guys! Keep up and be strong, the time will come...

Nice and got air conditioning too, food was so so at the food court, toilet was okay too. It's pretty and interesting place to go

Personally i love this. I love culture. This place has so many culture. Please buy souvenirs from here as your memory. #pasarseni #centralmarket #kltourism

Pasar Seni changed much after the pandemic scare. A lot of businesses ceased to operate especially among the non-Malaysian, mass-produce products. Some of the lots were turned into event space. Thankfully some shops selling genuine locally-made product survived. Still question why they have to cut down all the trees in the parking lot though. Is is because of the crows, or because the trees obstruct the facade of CM from visitors?

it is Coffee Fest ... and Malaysian do love their coffee. Front entrance was a bit chaotic with a long queue. Tips: please enter through the back door not from the main entrance.

This place used to be crowded and have various kind of handcraft. Due to covid many shop have been closed.

Weekdays left shop lot business. Weekends will have kiosk and event. Just take MRT or LRT to pasar seni station and walk around 5-10mins only. Or you can drive and parking at Central Market outdoor carpark.

🚈 Public Transport : Very close to Pasar Seni station (MRT, LRT, KTM). But from the station, need to cross the double lane road to get to the market. Pasar Seni is one of the oldest iconic places in KL. The market has been renovated and expanded but overall, it still retain its core architecture especially the facade ever since late 1800s. It was quite surreal to think the market has been there for many decades and generations. It's truly a heritage icon. Inside, the market packed with plenty of shops and kiosks selling traditional, cultural products. It's a 2-storey building, the ground floor mostly occupied by souvenirs sellers selling sculptures, pewters, antiques items etc while the second floor largely has clothes, outfits shop selling traditional batik, songket, cheongsam etc and on this floor, there's a food court too. At the end of the block (need to go outside of building), there's a row of artist shops selling painting, artwork. The 3D Illusion Museum building actually annexed by the end of the market block. There's also a neat mini museum at the center of ground floor showcasing the brief history of the market and KL, highlighting the market evolution over years and decades alongside the iconic figures that helps shaping the economy sector of Malaya back then. It's a wonderful place for anyone looking to find unique, special gifts to someone while at the same time appreciating the magnificent historical value of the market. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended

During our visit there was not much going on there. It is still under renovation. Prices of goods are pricey. Not many shops were open. Not much attraction. Perhaps due to the current COVID-19 SOP as well as the current renovation and repair works. Wonder if the lease cost is detering businesses to open their business there.

Checking out Coffee Festival here. Love the smell of coffee. But, Central Market I know since my early secondary school days, didn't change much. That's good recalling the good old days!

Nice ambience. Prices are insane but it's a worthwhile shopping experience. Great place for kids.

I visited here in 2020. The best place to find so many Malaysian souvenir also if you can bargain the price it'll so cheap. Foodcourt is clean. Easily find Indonesian food here. Makcik and Uncle here is so friendly.

A good place to buy souvenirs. The access was easy. The place was clean and there were so many small stores. But please mind your wallet and phone😅

I really happy that Centrai Market reopen again!! Many new shops, restaurants and etc. which are interesting. Don't miss when you are in KL.

The place was clean and there were so many small stores. Have various kinds of handicrafts. Many shops are not open but many are still operating.

Nice and clean. Offers many craft & art stuffs for tourists to bring home to. They also got museum to visit and batik painting activity to enjoy. Better come early to avoid crowd.

Parking is easy here on weekdays.. you can park here to go petaling street or shops around .. I parked about 2.5 hours cost only RM7. There is a cafeteria on the upper floor with coffee & ice kacang & cendol .. very sweet .. chendol was frozen! Upstairs u can get some traditional sarong n kebaya n prices are very reasonable Sarong only RM10. Good material too.

I went here when there's an event of collector, it's pretty chill place. People not feeling "sardin" and the food court sell good food (need to wait for long queue la). Overall a good place to kill some times. Oh, come here via public transport, it's more easy

Don't forget to pay a visit to my bff souvenier shop at ground flour kraftangan adik and a fabulous batik craft from her sisters on the 1st floor Antakesuma & batik sejagat.. Go local and buy local support our locals craft..

love this place...most that i like is toilet door....(forgot to take picture). toilet well maintain yooo!

I like the artsy and creative feel of this location. I haven’t been here for over 15years. Shops look the same and they had some booths build outside but closed on Sunday. I like the mini museum about KL in there which is very educational. There was an exhibition when I went there that day and it made central market more lively. Prices are on the touristy side so I won’t buy anything if I don’t need any. Good place to scout for Malaysian gifts and handicrafts.

This market make me remember Ben Thanh market of Viet nam. However, this one is cleaner and equipped air conditioner, you can shopping for a long time. This place have several bakery store that made a lot of cute cake, and good smell too. it also has numerous clothing store, almost sell modern clothes for young. One special thing I noticed there is a wall of history. This wall was painted a story when establishing the market, throughout decade, describes the development of this market, and this wall interesting me. There also have a lot of decorations and souvenirs for visitor.

An indoor market and good place for foreigner to buy Malaysia handcrafted, small gifts, or some chocolates with affordable price. You should try bargaining here. It also has food court inside. There are more booths opening in weekend than in weekdays.

One place for all!!! have great booth the prices are also affordable. they also few places that u should need to check like the 3d gallery and historic gallery

Main hub of KL. All the attractions and things to do start from this side of the city. Well connected by rail. Both the mrt and lrt are located here and the KL railway station is not far

It was in January 2017, when I visited this place with my thai friend. So memorable. Of course, this place is great as well. You can find a lot of interesting stuff here

Nice views. It’s true if your mind is not well pls u can try to travel near by any place i hopefully. Are u fell batter than last time 😊

Before Covid-19 this place is almost empty and after Covid-19 now back to lively❤️

Very colourful tourist trap. So many different shops with colourful clothes, carvings, batiks, silverware, pewter........... One can learn batik painting and paint one's own art. It's sad that most of food shops/restaurants in the area are closed now. I guess covid killed them.

Place is Instagram-able, great place to shop for street wear fashion... Cool place to visit but need to add much more stall. A very marvellous buskers, don't missed it🤣

Last I was here was back in 1997! The place has changed alot! For the better that is. It's cleaner n more organised. My kids had a great time shopping for souvenirs for their friends back at home.

Central Market currently has a limited number of stores open, which may disappoint some visitors who are looking for a wider range of shopping options. However, the available stores still offer a decent selection of souvenirs, local crafts, and food.

If you love adventure, then central market is the place to be. They have all kinds of shops, each one having a theme and being distinct on its own. It was a very pleasurable experience. Prices tend to be on the higher side as this is a tourist area too. Great experience nevertheless.

We first time entering after more than 10 yrs. Still attractive although it was more energetic, lively and crowded before. Still a great place to look for arts and souvenirs. There is a foodcourt on the 1st floor.

Love this market as it has aircon and still have sunlight in it. It is more hip and artsy fatsy! I like it as it sells a lot of interesting and modern things too. Large walking space and has a food court in level 2. All in 1 place. Would recommend not to drive there as parking lot is limited and queue is very long on a weekend. This market sells things that cater to male, female and pets too! Sadly didn't take any pictures inside as I was too busy shopping and looking. Haha

One of the most popular areas of KL. this place used to be a wet market and now it’s an amalgamation of a top floor food court, a tourist shopping area for souvenirs from stalls as well as small pop up booths for handmade crafts as well as an arts corner in the outside part of central market. There’s also a fish foot spa (10 ringgit for 10 minutes) and also a postcard sending station where you write on a postcard, put on a stamp and send it to your loved ones ! I also tried the musang king durian ice cream which is super famous in Malaysia !

When I was studying, I often came to order design products, and later I often came to look for postcards. You can find a variety of artworks here. There are restaurants, food centers and shops upstairs, and there are shops and art stalls downstairs. There are galleries and museums opposite. It is a paradise for tourists to buy souvenirs. public toilet available at 50 cents.

Sells everything in there . All in doors . Has lots of little stalls . Worth a visit . Don’t think I saw it at its best as the place closes at 8pm .We got there for 7 pm. Large car park which you have to pay for . Easier to get there by train. Right next to China town.

This one very interesting and beautiful market, it is centralized air conditioned arts and crafts market, a must place to visit in Kuala Lumpur, I found a lot of stuff to buy from here, souvenirs, garments, artworks, paintings and alot of variety of different shopping experience

Top tourist spot. This place is still being kept well. Many kinds of souvenirs we will find here. Easy access place. This market closes as early as 8pm. Make sure to spend only your day time to be here.

Its been a long time, now coming bring kids. The environment its totally different during my school time 😂. Now looks new, clean and nice. The Food court price its average, still cheap for me. Surau also clean.

A beautiful place for peoples to come here. Moreover, for tourists to get some souvenirs and also experience malaysia handcrafts. One of the top spot to come in malaysia.. There are lots to explore

This place is a tourist center of attraction. Easily reachable by using public transport i.e lrt, mrt, bus, taxi or e-hailing or driving. However, do take note that during weekend you might face difficulty finding a parking spot there. But there are ample parking spaces at POS Malaysia building. Located just next to Central Market. It is ±5 minutes walking plus there is a connecting bridge. There's so many things to look at here. You can enjoy yourself by doing batik painting. NO FOC to do the painting. Else you can just immersed and enjoy yourself seeing Malaysia 🇲🇾 culture and heritage and enjoy the buskers singing with a cup of coffee or tea and a piece of cake or biscuits.

A good place to visit with family..got a lots of batik at 2nd floor like Pasar Payang,Terengganu. During my visit got mcD giving us free kopi susu. Got a shop that u can enjoy canting batik there

Nice and clean market. Not too hectic like the outside markets. There are some restaurants and small places to eat, it’s also a great place to buy souvenirs and other gadgets

Make sure you go on a weekend during day time to see all the outdoor stalls open - although the indoor market is open till late. A great selection of food, souvenirs, and art available at reasonable prices.

it is a very interesting boutique mall since day one. They even improved further now. You can actually explore to it for the whole day if you the luxurious time. Basically you can see and find those cultural diversity and heritage here.

This place is pumping. Some great stall holders here and the food court looked good. We bought a few things for family and friends. Air conditioned with a roof so sits all weather. Worth a visit

One stop place in KL to hunt for souvenirs and culinary delights. Last time I was here at the beginning of 2020 before Covid, now it is getting better organized in the inner building. But for some reason, I feel like the prices here are more expensive than before, maybe the rental price has gone up? The traffic in front is always congested and the parking space is not spacious enough during peak season or weekends.

If you are looking for a good place to do some cost effective shopping central market is the place. There are some great bargains but be prepared to negotiate. One thing is that many stores deal in cash only and there are very few ATMs.

This is definitely a must visit places in KL. Lovely local seller stuff. The best part is you can bargain. A very old market and it's covered perfect for a hot afternoon or saving a rainy day.

Central Market is great if you're a tourist/foreigner shopping for gifts and souvenirs to give to friends and family. Make sure you bring a local with you to help negotiate the prices. The variety of items to buy has increased since 2019 but most shops sell the same thing- purses, twin tower model, batu seremban, lipstick covers, etc... The new part for us was the foodcourt that recently opened. Most stalls aren't price friendly but the food was delicious. Recommend the Roti Canai and Nasi Lemak from the mamak stall. Other than the above, there are other activities such as, painting batik, eating more street food, thrift shopping and sightseeing (enjoying the view and air)!

Went on a weekday. There's a bazaar inside with affordable and interesting stuffs. You can buy souvenirs here. Highly recommended to visit stall G62.
