Emplacement
Le Marché Central est un édifice iconique de Phnom Penh, reconnaissable à son vaste dôme jaune construit en 1937. À l'intérieur, la structure Art Déco encadre quatre galeries en arche qui abritent des centaines d'échoppes. Le marché propose une gamme étendue : fruits et légumes frais, vêtements, bijoux, souvenirs, jouets, ainsi que des services comme coupes de cheveux et soins des ongles. Le circuit labyrinthique des allées peut sembler déroutant au premier abord, mais les vendeurs s'avèrent généralement serviables pour orienter les visiteurs.
Les avis soulignent l'atmosphère vivante du lieu et la diversité des produits disponibles. Les prix sont globalement accessibles, bien que la négociation soit habituelle et certains produits, notamment les fruits exotiques, puissent être facturés au-dessus des attentes. La ventilation reste un point faible : l'intérieur devient très chaud, particulièrement aux heures de pointe. Quelques visiteurs notent aussi que de nombreux étalages proposent des articles similaires, ce qui peut rendre la visite répétitive sans achat précis en tête.
Le marché ouvre quotidiennement de 7 heures du matin à 17 heures. Il convient à ceux souhaitant découvrir une institution locale authentique, faire des achats pratiques ou admirer l'architecture historique. Prévoyez du temps pour explorer sans précipitation, apportez de petites coupures pour la négociation, et visitez plutôt en début de journée pour une expérience moins étouffante. Sans objectif d'achat spécifique, une promenade rapide d'une quinzaine de minutes suffit pour apprécier l'édifice.

I went to buy some fruits. I decided to buy some orange jackfruit. I only wanted a few to try. I decided to ask for 5 pieces.
At first they understood I wanted a whole jackfruit, then they understood I wanted a small jackfruit, only to later understand I only wanted a few pieces of it.
They came with a small plastic container, when I said I only wanted 5 the owner was very upset. The stall owner next to her put 2 more pieces of jackfruit in, so, in the end I got 7. I didn't mind much.
I was surprised she charged 8000 for a few pieces of jackfruit. I think it was overpriced but didn't want to haggle. I just wanted to pay and get out of there.
She was very upset because I didn't buy more. It made me feel very uncomfortable.
I tried buying some mandarins but the prices they asked were also sky high. I think they try to trick you if you are not local.
I would not recommend visiting as it was

Central Market truly has everything you could possibly need under one spectacular Art Deco roof. The prices are very affordable to begin with, though there is still room to negotiate. Whether you are looking for fresh produce, children’s toys, or even a bespoke outfit, you’ll find it here. You can even get a haircut and a manicure while you shop!
The layout is expansive, and it is very easy to get turned around in the maze-like aisles. However, that is part of the charm, and the vendors are incredibly helpful. If you look lost, someone is usually quick to point you in the right direction. It’s a must-visit for the architecture alone, but the variety makes it a shopper’s paradise.

The Central Market, in Khmer language - Phsar Thum Thmei; meaning "New Grand Market" is a market and an art deco landmark in Phnom Penh, the capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The bright yellow building completed in 1937 has a 26-metre high central dome, with four tall arch-roofed arms branching out diagonally across the block, creating vast hallways housing countless stalls and a variety of goods. Initially designed by city architect French national Jean Desbois, construction works were supervised by the French architect Louis Chauchon and the engineer - Russian emigrant from France Vladimir Kandaouroff. When it first opened in 1937, it was said to be the biggest market in Asia; today it still operates as a market.
Since its completion, wet season flooding around the market has remained a problem, a reminder of the marshland it once was. The areas between the four diagonal arms and th

The Central Market is a covered market that immediately impresses with its grand central dome. Beneath the dome, you’ll find countless jewelry stalls, while the surrounding sections offer a wide variety of souvenirs, including clothing, decorative items, and much more.
It’s a vibrant place full of colors, sounds, and local atmosphere. The ventilation could definitely be improved, as it can get quite warm inside.
That said, it’s absolutely worth a visit — whether you’re shopping or simply soaking in the unique market experience.
★★★☆☆
Very warm inside
Many stores but selling the same items. No price tag, need to ask and bargain.
Can go there look look see see the building structure
Just walk 15mins non stop and leave
Nothing special unless you like to buy something that you needs
