About Shopping At Central Market In Kuala Lumpur

Founded in the year 1888, the Central Market Kuala Lumpur is one of the major attractions and a popular landmark in the KL city.

Built in an art-deco structure, it houses an array of stalls selling some amazing souvenirs, traditional batik work, household goods, and more, making it a perfect place to indulge in a shopping spree. You may also stop by Kasturi Walk housing numerous street-food shops, and grab a chance to treat your taste buds to luscious dishes. In addition to that, the art-deco building also houses a food court, offering a bevy of delicious cuisines.

Thanks to its ultimate location at the heart of the city of Kuala Lumpur and heritage status, the Central Market manages to draw a huge flock of tourists and locals alike irrespective of their interest in shopping. While, its proximity to the other famous attractions, such as Petronas Towers, KL Tower, and Batu Caves, makes it one of the must-included places in the itineraries of Kuala Lumpur tours.

Highlights of Central Market Kuala Lumpur

Divided into three zones- Malay, Indian, and Chinese- the Central Market Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is a perfect reflection of the diverse culture and traditions of the nation. If you are not a local, then navigating the outdoor bazaar might seem difficult to you. You may choose to explore the Malay area, or start from the Little India section, and buy local handicrafts, or clothing and fashion accessories from the respective zones to take back home as souvenirs.

What’s more? If you love savoring cultural performances, you can always head next to Kasturi Walk or the outdoor stage adjacent to its entrance, and enjoy theatre performance by local artists or dancers. In addition to that, there are also some art galleries located in the vicinity of the attraction to keep an art lover in you hooked for a longer duration. The best time to stroll through the Central Market of Kuala Lumpur is during the festivals of Deepavali, Hari Raya Aidilfitri, and Chinese New Year, when the market hosts many events during the special occasions. Moreover, the traditional outfits and homewares are easily available in the market during the festive celebrations.

Rahul's 8 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

Had good experience, every things are planned in good manner except Langkawi Island Tour. all pickup and drops are on time and the representatives are present with our name plates. Overall recommended. we have booked all transfers and sightseeing of Penang, Langkawi, Kuala Lumpur and Genting. Only Langkawi Full Day Round Island Tour was changed to Half Day City Tour(Which was disappointing) Otherwise this had good experience with M/s Travel Triangle and M/s Satguru Travels(Agent). Yes we will suggest for future travels ..

Somyata's 4 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

It was good. just that on arrival we had to wait and then we were clubbed with other family for their sight seeing instead of taking us directly to the hotel.

Sujeeth's 6 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

Firstly great job done by sumith. Thanks for the good price quote by Satguru Holidays very reasonable and all the properties were five star. Our trip was for 5 nights and 6 days, two nights in lankawi at hotel bay view. The hotel staff was also very helpful and friendly. They gave us early check-in and upgraded our room from hill view to sea view wch had a very beautiful view. And coming to the place mainly climate is very nice daily atleast for half an hour u'll have a rainfall. Places to visit are chanang beach most happening beach there u can find everything and it's open all the night. U can find many duty-free shops in the city it's very cheap compared to airport. It's best place for shopping in Malaysia. Third day we were transferred to kaula Lumpur and the hotel provided was Double tree by Hilton. This was a very huge property and our room was is 23rd floor and had a twin tower view wch was awesome. But they charged 15000 extra for that view for two nights. Kaula Lumpur is a concrete jungle lot of high rise buildings and lot of traffic jam in peak hrs . places to visit are The food street was very gud with all types of seafood,KLCC Tower, Kings Palace, Petronas towers(twin towers), and KLCC shopping mall wch is very huge and all international brands are available. There is a Chennai street where u can find Indian food. But very difficult for vegetarians. Breakfast was very good at Hilton. 5th day we were transferred to Genting Highlands, on the way we had a stop at murgan temple where there is a huge statue of Lord murgan. From there we went to hotel Awana this was also a five star hotel but it is very old, no wifi in room and no room service. (This hotel is suitable for senior citizens or honeymoon couples) After check in we went to Genting Highlands through cable car 3.5km in 20min wch was very gud experience. In Genting we went to first World (Indore theam park) food was not so great but cassino was very huge and it was nice. Next day evening we check out and back to India. Once again thanks a lot to travel triangle and satguru Holidays especially sumit for a memorable trip.

Prateek's 5 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

Just some feedback that Coral island tour doesn't have anything else except snorkeling. So if something else needs to be done then please go to beach in Langkawi.

Jprajan's 4 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

The trip was well organized. Thank you Satguru holidays for arranging this amazing trip. Special thanks to Sumit who customized the package to our needs. Everything was clearly mentioned in the itenary. Only problem I faced was one of the item mentioned in the original itenary was removed in the itenary provided by the transportation partner in Malaysia. Genting Highlands and Shopping in Kuala Lumpur.
