This research uses qualitative descriptive research to find out a general description of Klewer Market conditions after revitalization in terms of physical buildings, facilities, utilities and management. The analytical method uses a comparison of pre-revitalization market conditions with post-revitalization market conditions. The conclusion of this study is that Klewer Market post-revitalization has a more modern concept than pre-revitalization and is able to become one of tourist icons in Surakarta City, which already has more adequate facilities, utilities, and management.
