One of the top attractions in Kuala Lumpur is the Petronas Twin Towers. These dominate the skyline, and the observation deck is a panoramic marvel. If you thought those views were phenomenal, visit the Menara Kuala Lumpur – an architectural wonder, offering even more spectacular views across the city.
Malaysia has a long history of metal crafting with pewter, which you can learn all about at the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre. Participate in a workshop to take home your own handmade piece of Kuala Lumpur’s heritage.
Interested in Kuala Lumpur’s spiritual side? Discover the tranquility of Thean Hou Temple and admire the intricate Chinese design. It’s also worth exploring the Batu Caves. These impressive limestone caverns are home to Hindu shrines and feature a humungous golden statue of Lord Murugan.

Try your hand at Malaysia’s unique art form in a batik painting workshop and experience how this country’s rich artistic heritage continues to thrive in modern day Kuala Lumpur.
Take a quick break from the city at Bukit Gasing Forest Park. It’s filled with hiking trails and green spaces ideal for a recreational afternoon. The beauty of Kuala Lumpur’s skyline is best experienced in the early evening. Watch the sun set behind the Petronas Twin Towers from KLCC Park.
Food in Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is bursting with places to relish quality, authentic food from the many ethnicities represented in the city.
Start your culinary journey at Lot 10 Hutong. This traditional Chinese food court is abundant with some of the best hawker foods, all under one roof.
If you are interested in the street food scene, navigate through Jalan Alor night market and Petaling Street, filled with Malaysian delicacies such as laksa (spicy noodle dish), rendang (spicy meat dish) and the Indian flatbread roti canai.
You cannot leave Malaysia without indulging in nasi lemak – Malaysia’s national dish. It consists of coconut rice served with spicy sambal (local chili sauce) and is typically eaten as a breakfast food; however, you can enjoy it at any time of day.
