Tourist attractions and must be on the list for local as well… you can find a lot of good stuff here with a good price as long as you know how to bargain… variety of food that you can try to represent Malaysia culture at their cafe… if lucky enough, they organized a lot of activities and event during the festival…

It’s a beautiful market with choices of clothes, antiques, interior, bags etc. You can find most things there. Part of the market is outside, and there is also a top floor. On the down side, it’s a real tourist trap. So if you are used to markets in other countries this is expensive. The stalls are more like shops in a department store. It’s clean, and you can find a lot of nice things.

Not quite what I was expecting. There is little on sale here inside to do with food. Inside is mainly artistic type merchandise. Quite a few artists working away painting, copying or sketching. There also a few people offering charactercatures. Some artistic don’t like there work being photographed, so you need to be careful to observe the signs. Plenty of food stalls in outside part of the market, but only one selling fruit and vegetables.

Great place to shop for pewter, silver jewelry, different local textiles, clothes and many more. The place is clean and organized. There are various places to dine in as well. We came in the morning, and on a weekend to avoid the crowd. You can find various gift items at bargain prices.

Kitty and I spent a delightful afternoon exploring the Central Market. The architecture is stunning – so much history and character! We loved wandering through the stalls, admiring the crafts and artwork. It felt very authentic and less touristy than some other places we've visited. The only downside was that some of the prices seemed a little inflated for tourists. Still, a great place to soak up the atmosphere and find unique souvenirs.
