Experience Kuala Lumpur
Our favourite things to see and do
Petronas Twin Towers – Observe KL from the world’s
tallest twin towers; it takes all of 41 seconds to shoot up
to the midpoint of Petronas Twin Towers. Tickets to the
skybridge sell out fast, but how often do you get to feel on
top of the world?
Batu Caves – Located 13 kilometres north of Kuala
Lumpur. Featuring a complex of giant limestone caves
housing Hindu temples. Take a walk up the 272 steps to be
greeted by monkeys – be careful not to carry any food or
plastic bags with you.

Food – Due to the cultural mix throughout Kuala Lumpur,
you’ll find an array of cuisines. From sambals, curries
& Chinese dishes to Nyonya cusine, which is typically
Malaysian. Be sure to check out Changkit Bukit Bintang, a
popular boulevard with many restaurants and bars. Or for
a more local experience head to the Hawker Stalls in Jalan
Alor o r Chinatown Petaling Street Night Markets.
Day trip to Malacca – Only two hours from KL, this
quaint relaxed town is rich with history and culture from the
ruling of the Portugese, Dutch & British. Take a stroll down
Jonker St for cute shops offering Nyonya fashion, shoes,
souvenirs as well as cafés & pubs.
Shopping – Most malls are open between 10am-10pm and
