This is the best place to get souvenirs and Malaysian handicrafts . Its located near Chinatown and easy access by train . This place will live up during weekend. Check out food court on 1st floor ????????

The Ritz-Carlton

Central Market ,originally a wet market is now a heritage and architectural experience for all visitors. Not to miss is the weekly Saturday night fair with cultural performances and food trucks .

An array of Malay/Chinese/Indian arts and crafts in a bazaar style. The sellers are more polite and friendlier compared 2 ChinaTown . Parking is limited and isn't cheap . RM3 1st hr, Rm2 subsequent hr.

Always love to see and buy goodies around here. Good quality Pashmina shawls which you won't get ripped off is available opposite the side entrance of Pasar Seni. I went comparing prices and quality.

Emily Cheah

Old market nostalgia, and obviously touristy and commercial. But it's quiet and airconditioned for a place to kill time for awhile, and great place to start for the surrounding areas which are cool

Simple Discoveries

There's a fair amount of shopping options here and the prices are better than what's quoted initially on Petaling St. Cheap eats on the second floor food court .

Ilya

Always try bargaining when buying souvenirs . There's also a great shop anime-based Penang art pictures and Borneo pearl shop. Anyway, the best place for final day on a Malaysian vacation.

Tip: GO KL & KL HOP ON HOP OFF buses stops at the station right opposite of Central Market . For authentic local food, walk along Kasturi walk on the side of the market .

If you're looking for souvenirs and trinkets that are unique, this is the place to be. It's open daily from 10am to 9:30pm and can easily be accessed via LRT or MRT - get off at Pasar Seni station.

It's nice and clean . Much easier to deal with than #ChinaTown lots of different types of shops and eating places. I prefer this to China Town

There is a fruit shop on Ground flr at the furthest left in called Fresh n' Best that sells good local fruits bite sizes. Rojak Buah here is good but a bit spicy . Make sure you ask for less spicy !

Highly recommend this place to end your trip with the cheapest and the most beautiful souvenirs , yummy food & unique traditional customs????

Huggle whenever you can but enjoy the rustic cultural appeal of Malayan products and culture. Always go for fish foot spa to relax your tired feet after your shopping rendevous.

Queen Eats

Nice market to buy things. Please go and check in every kiosk before you buy it. Because you may regret if you found another near and complete store with cheaper price.

Amazing collections. But bargaining is a must when purchasing.

Ms Yap

Air conditioned and very clean toilet . A lot of niche and culture-related stuffs here

There are 3 bus companies operating here which goes to Seremban. Lookout for either of these companies: (1) SKS (2) Suasana Edaran (3) A Class . RM6 standard rate (price as of today, June 2015).

Dmitry Efremov

Maybe a bit overpriced, but still a nice place to visit and buy souvenirs . Food court is available as well

Sago gula melaka dessert at Precious Chinese restaurant on 1st floor is delicious.Must try.It is halal though(baba nyonya dessert ).Some stuff are a little pricey .And be extra careful of pick pocket.

Sony Mobile WTA

The oldest market in KL with some Malay handicrafts , art and fabrics. If you go there look out for the seasonal fruits of buah salak (snakeskin fruit ), dragon fruit , guava , pomelo and star fruit .

Phyllis Ho

One of the top tourist attractions in KL. Best place to get souvenirs and other local products . Love the Malay, Chinese and Indian streets

Anton Mavrin

Tired of overpriced souvenirs in KL? Just visit this place. You'll find all of them here, but cheaper. P.S. Not only KL magnets and souvenirs are sold here, i.e. Phuket, Oman, Thailand, Bangkok etc.

Firdaus Bachik

Good place to find goodies! Totally recommended for tourists .

Yogan Rajoo

The delicious food on the roadside are sold which is exposed to beggars who coughs near to it and the buses which releasing a thick toxic smokes. Enjoy the food people!

Your best one-stop for souvenirs and mementos of Kuala Lumpur. Can get a little pricey though. As in every public tourist area, be aware of your belongings.

Hana Felemban

Love this place ! Watch for the prices, bargain as much as u can !

riderintaiwan

An air-conditioned tourist trap. Full of over-priced trinkets you don't need. Here every tourist is a sucker soon to be separated from his $. Upstairs food court is more close to actual local prices.

John Reyes

If u're planning to catch 'Teksi' (taxi ) back to your hotel , make sure u negotiate price w cab driver b4hand. My ride back costs about 8-10RM, Cab driver wanted 20RM, we negotiated 15RM. #touristTIP

Fatin Azman

Lookin for local made products ,you can find it here. Oh they have food court too in case you're hungry

Dilara Sultan

The history of Central Market goes back to 1888 where the location it now stands was used as an open wet market . Find your next prop with the added bonus of history!

Nice place to find surveniors and local/chinese handcrafts but unfortunately double (or triple) price for tourists - as usual!
