Pasar Seni: Where Heritage, Art & Culture Come Alive in Kuala Lumpur ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ•Œ

Pasar Seni also known as Central Market is a vibrant cultural hub that brings together Malaysiaโ€™s rich heritage, diverse artistry, and local creativity under one roof. Once a wet market in the 1880s, it has transformed into a must-visit destination for those who want to experience the true soul of Malaysian culture. From traditional batik and handcrafted souvenirs to local paintings, wood carvings, and ethnic fashion, every corner of Pasar Seni tells a unique story. Take a stroll through the Kasturi Walk for street snacks and open-air vibes, or explore the upper floor art galleries and cultural performances. Whether you're looking to shop, snap aesthetic photos, or simply soak in the old-meets-new atmosphere, Pasar Seni offers an authentic and colorful experience you wonโ€™t find anywhere else. A perfect stop for tourists and locals alike, this cultural landmark is more than just a market โ€” itโ€™s a living museum of Malaysian identity! #travel #malaysia #kualalumpur
