Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) offers a plethora of transport methods to take you to the city centre. The most convenient way to get into the city centre is by taxi, taking approximately 1 hour depending on your destination. Alternatively, we recommend taking the KLIA Express as it offers a quick 30-minute journey into downtown Kuala Lumpur. Other available options include the Transit Metro Train, the Airport Bus Coach Service, and car rentals.

A prime destination for frequent and first-time visitors alike, Kuala Lumpur offers a fascinating blend of Chinese, Indian, and Malay cultures.

Begin your trip in the vibrant capital of Malaysia by venturing out towards the Petronas Twin Towers - the world’s tallest twin structures standing 452 metres high. The towers have become an icon of Malaysia since their construction and are a must for all architecture lovers - as are other recognisable buildings such as the Menara KL Tower, Sultan Abdul Samad Building, and Tugu Negara.

Shoppers will delight in the array of markets and shopping centres dotted around Kuala Lumpur. Petaling Street is a popular and happening night market perfect for finding authentic souvenirs, trinkets, and a bite of delicious street food. Those looking for a more luxurious shopping experience should head to Bukit Bintang for premium designer brands, deluxe malls, and trendy restaurants.

To immerse in Kuala Lumpur’s unique culture, we recommend heading to the Batu Caves - a collection of shrines and temples atop a magnificently colourful set of stairs. You could alternatively pay a visit to the National Museum of Malaysia where you can delve into the nation’s history and cultural significance.

Hotels in Kuala Lumpur are abundant and perfect for every type of traveller. Discover accommodation options with Cathay Pacific and enjoy a world of rewards including access to special accommodation, room upgrades, and lounge access. You will also earn miles when booking a package at luxurious hotels like Le Meridien, Shangri-La, and The Ritz-Carlton.

Owing to its multicultural influences, Kuala Lumpur’s culinary scene is alive with a diverse range of ingredients, unforgettable flavours, and wonderful street food. While the city also boasts a thriving scene of international restaurants, be sure to try some of the local favourites. Nasi lemak (a rice dish cooked in coconut milk) is considered the national dish and can be found all over, while roti canai (Indian-influenced flatbread) and satay skewers should also not go missed. At night, head to Jalan Alor - Kuala Lumpur’s most famous food street. Here you will delight in the sights, smells, and flavours of some of Malaysia's more popular cuisines including Char Kway Teow, Coconut Ice Cream and the famous Malaysian-style BBQ chicken wings.
