Head to the annex in the back of the building to see art galleries, performance areas, and shops selling arts and crafts.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit if you’re a tourist. It is the place to buy souvenirs and gifts for your friends and family back home. A haven for collectors who are looking for memorabilia, comics, action figures, etc… at a reasonable price. The place is lively with music and all the hustle and bustle that you’ll expect in a marketplace. The place is air conditioned so need not worry about the summer heat. Kindly do not miss if you’re ever in KL.

Since I didn't this site for a long time, the new look of Central Market was quite fascinating to me. With a new light blue colour exterior wall, it looks more outstanding and bright. Unfortunately couldn't enter. Not sure whether closed or under renovation. Despite the new look, the area is so dull unlike the busier days of yesteryears. Hope the opening of international borders will attract more foreign tourists as well as locals to visit this foremost Arts Market in the country.
