Why to visit Central Market

The market, also known as Pasar Seni, is a retreat for art enthusiasts and shopaholics. Authentic handicrafts, fantastic stores, traditional Malaysian batik products, and numerous souvenirs may be found among the hundreds of booths that line the sidewalks. The Central Market is an official Heritage Site that has been compared to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco and Covent Garden in London. It is a significant cultural marker for both the city and the country (London).

Aside from the infinite storefronts and food booths, Central Market plays host to a number of cultural events, including the Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, and the Indian holiday of Deepavali. If you visit during one of these events, you will be able to see a variety of exhibitions and cultural events. From anywhere in the city, the market is easily accessible by bus, train, or cab.

Central Market Kuala Lumpur is a short walk from Pasar Seni MRT Station and is one of the greatest places to shop in Kuala Lumpur, especially on hot days because the entire complex is air-conditioned.

Special Tip

Within the market, there are numerous restaurants. As a result, you can always stop for a short snack or a full dinner. In addition, the shopping centre contains far more than just shops. The annexe, which is located behind the main structure, is a popular hangout for both art aficionados and young adults.
