Central Market Kuala Lumpur is a main attraction in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is located at Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock (Foch Avenue) and the pedestrian-only section of Jalan Hang Kasturi (Rodger Street), a few minutes away from Petaling Street. It has since been classified as a Heritage Site by the Malaysian Heritage Society and it is now a landmark for Malaysian culture and heritage.
Central Market is exactly at the side of Kasturi Walk at Pasar Seni. A short walking distance away, is the popular Chinatown (Petaling Street) of Kuala Lumpur. Central Market's location is so strategic that there is no way you can miss this place. Public transportation here connects the Central Market to all major attractions and hotels in Kuala Lumpur. In addition to that, The KL Sentral rail station is only 1.5 kilometers away from the market, thus providing easy access to the KL International Airport.
The Central Market Kuala Lumpur is arranged in a stall concept, representing the traditional market that has existed in Kuala Lumpur since the 1800s. Travelers can scroll through the many sections that exist within the Central Market, from the Lorong Melayu, Straits Chinese, and Lorong India which is located on the west wing. The Central Market is full of stalls which sell handicrafts which are all locally made. You can purchase batik, songket, wood carvings, souvenirs, accessories and much more here.
If you get tired or hungry in the midst of all the shopping, do not fret. There are myriads of eating places where you can dine at and take a rest. Once you have filled your stomach and taken the much needed rest, you can move on to the second floor. This floor mainly sells garments and has a few souvenir stalls. There are other activities at the Central Market which are usually held at the stage outside the market. Art and cultural performances are held every now and then to attract visitors as well as to expose them to the uniqueness of our society.
