Central Market is a must-visit spot if you are a first-time visitor to Kuala Lumpur. It is a former wet market that has been refurbished to become a centre for handicraft, antique and art sales. Central Market is certainly the best place to look for souvenirs and exclusively-made handicrafts.

Its two-floors building houses shops, hawker centres, restaurants, fast-food outlets, bars and a cinema complex in the annexe on the northern side.

Visitors to the market are also able to witness the local artists and craftsmen at work. They can even have their profile drawn and portrait painted by the portrait artists or have intricate glass souvenirs specially made for them by the glass blowers.
