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.

Sakshi's 5 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

We visited Kuala Lumpur and genting with Kushark holidays in first week of October. We were a group of 12 which included 4 senior citizens and 3 children. Hence, we wanted a smooth trip for us. Sagar ensured that, he provided comfortable cabs, enough time to explore places, we were not rushed anywhere which made our experience memorable. We would recommend Kushark, as they have provided a complete package at an affordable price and service delivered was top notch. Thanks Kushark and Sagar once again

Vidya's 8 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

We booked 7 days and 6 nights Malaysia tour through Kushark Holidays. Travel and activities. Overall it was well arranged trip thanks to Sagar. He is always there whatever might be the day and time. Response is excellent. I would definitely recommend them for anyone going to Malaysia. Thanks to Sagar Sonker and Kushark Holidays. One small feedback is that it would be good to have some flexibility in car pickup timings while in the country.

Manoj's 5 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

I recently went on a vacation to Malaysia through Kushark Holidays and I had a good experience during my stay in Malaysia. I just had an idea to go to Malaysia and Sagar helped in making best out of the trip by suggesting go visit Langkawi and KL with 4 nights and 5 days. Ankush was very supportive during the trip and he was available for the call always (I would have called him more than 10 times in 5 days :D) he made sure I faced no hustle. I prefer Kushark Holidays for my future trips as well. Thank you Ankush and Sagar

Agarwalshashank's 7 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

My itenary was well planned by Mr Shubham and gave me room enough to relax along with coverage of most of the tourist spots. All the cabs and driver were well behaved and English speaking which made it easy to communicate. Hotel could have been better. Overall nice stay. Genting Highlands was awesome.

Gayathri's 4 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

Hi Had a great trip this holidays with my son My special mention to the abroad agent whom i was so impressed with her immediate response to msgs and pick and drop .Plans were good for sightseeing and other activities My suggestion is if there was a guide who can explain things during city tour about history of the place its importance that would be great rather than booking a cab driver who simply drops in the place and waits in car Hope the team works in that angle of giving a guided tour Island hopping and Jet skiing with my teenage son

Ayyappa's 3 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Malaysia, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the country's rich cultural diversity, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality. Thanks and much appreciated @Sagar for providing all the information and providing good guidance from start to end of my journey. 1. *Cultural Richness*: Malaysia's unique blend of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous cultures made for a vibrant and enriching experience. I was particularly impressed by the harmonious coexistence of different cultural traditions, which is evident in the country's festivals, architecture, and cuisine. 2 *Efficient Transport*: Getting around Malaysia was quite convenient. The public transportation system, including trains and buses, was efficient and well-connected. Additionally, ride-hailing services were readily available and affordable. In conclusion, my trip to Malaysia was a memorable trip. I highly recommend Malaysia as a travel destination to anyone looking for a unique and fulfilling travel experience.
