Central Market is nearby a street named Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock and a short walk from Chinatown at Petaling Street. If taking the commuter train, get off at the Pasar Seni (Kelana Jaya Line) Station. Central Market is popular with foreign tourists as well as Malaysians visiting the city and local residents. The shopping centre is a pleasant place to go even if you have no intention of buying. With its air-conditioning, Central Market is a nice place to escape from Kuala Lumpur's midday heat.
Small shops and stalls occupy the building, selling varieties of local handicrafts and souvenirs including woodcarving, vases, batik, jewellery, engravings, antiques and pewter. Then there are the typical souvenir T-shirts, refrigerator magnets and host of trinkets. Prices here are not the cheapest in the city but definitely less than at the tourist areas including airports and hotels. You could probably haggle the price downwards for high price items and large purchases but forget it if it is less than RM10-20 (USD3-6).
