A brief introduction to Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia’s bustling capital charms visitors with its pan-regional cultural influences, rich architectural heritage, and tantalising culinary options.
Start your Kuala Lumpur trip by visiting the iconic Petronas Twin Towers – the world’s tallest twin structure. Visit the towers’ skybridge to admire the beautiful blend of history and contemporary buildings that constitute the majestic skyline. Grand historical structures stand alongside modern skyscrapers, such as Menara KL Tower, and the emblematic minarets of the National Mosque.
From there, take a stroll through Kuala Lumpur’s bulb-lit streets and soak in the city’s diverse cultural influences. To experience the city’s vibrant local roots, consider visiting Merdeka Square, Little India, and Chinatown. Near Chinatown, you can also find the popular Petaling Market, which is a renowned culinary hotspot. We recommend sampling local favourites such as ‘nasi lemak’ (a creamy coconut rice dish served with sambal), chicken satay, and pork-filled steamed buns. Be sure to pair your meal with a glass of ‘teh tarik’ - a smooth and frothy black tea with sugar and condensed milk.
