Markets & Shopping
Chowrasta Market
Chowrasta Market is a historic wet market on Jalan Penang, operating since the 19th century. It offers a vibrant mix of fresh produce, local snacks, and vintage items, providing an authentic glimpse into daily life in George Town.
Located just a 10-minute walk or 3-minute drive from Fifth Avenue Hotel Penang.
The market is best visited in the morning (7:00 AM to 10:00 AM) when it is most active. Highlights include fresh tropical fruits, seafood, local breakfast dishes like nasi lemak, and upstairs secondhand bookstores. Bring cash, as most vendors do not accept cards. The market typically closes by midday. There is no entrance fee.
