This location is not a tourist attraction unless one is spending a significant amount of time in Nuwara Eliya and may be considering purchasing groceries and meat.
A word of caution though, the meat was just placed like that, most of it was placed open, so not sure if everyone will be comfortable buying that.
And I was unable to find one thing that I was looking for, strawberries for my child.

The Central Market in Nuwara Eliya is the place where almost all the shops are located. The most important landmark according to me is the traditional food outlet run by womenfolk. The variety is huge and the taste is awesome.

Coming from a food import and production background, I was in total dismay at what I saw at this market.
It took me no more than 5 minutes to walk through it and was pleased to get out.
Meat and fish at ambient temperature, flies everywhere, birds eating the produce undisturbed…
If your stomach is not accustomed to this level of food safety, DO NOT EAT ANYTHING SOLD HERE.
We stayed at a nearby hotel and hope that our food was not purchased here - but I fear it did!

We came across this market and were delighted to see a big variety of items and produce that Sri Lanka could offer. The arrangements were truly beautiful.
