A travel guide to the best places to visit

Kasturi Walk

Kasturi Walk is a tourist-friendly flea market next to Central Market (Pasar Seni). At the entrance of this covered pedestrian walkway is a large sign of a Malaysian kite, which looks like a butterfly. Although Kasturi Walk has not as many stalls and shops as Petaling Street this street still has a lot to offer. Vendors are selling products like clothing, shoes, watches, Asian snacks, fruits, souvenirs and local handicrafts at very affordable prices.

Another difference with Petaling Street is that Kasturi Walk has a Malay ambiance, while Petaling Street has a Chinese ambiance. In the past Central Market was a wet market and was Jalan Hang Kasturi the place where dried fish and fruits and vegetables were sold. Since the concept of Kasturi Walk was established in 2011 it still looks pretty new and clean, but fortunately there are still some interesting pre-war neoclassical buildings with symmetrical shapes, tall columns, triangular pediments right on top and long vertical windows.

As Kasturi Walk is located at Jalan Hang Kasturi next to Central Market it is advised to take the LRT Kelana Jaya Line to the Pasar Seni station.
