Pasar Seni (Central Market) KL

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

About Pasar Seni (Central Market) KL

A 1930s colonial market hall converted into KL's main arts and crafts market, with three floors of Malaysian batik, silverware, pottery, pewter, and cultural souvenirs alongside food stalls. The Central Market is more tourist-focused than local but the quality of handmade crafts from Malaysian artisans is genuinely good.
