Top 11 things to do in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
1. Touch the sky at the Petronas Twin Towers
The Petronas Twin towers is one of my favourite pieces of contemporary architecture in the world. They perfectly merge the steel and glass core of modern architecture with Islamic motifs to reflect the country’s cultural background. Designed by César Pelli and finished in 1998, and at 451.9m, this gorgeous engineering marvel stood as the tallest building in the world until 2004, when it was surpassed by Taipei 101. Today, they are a symbol of Malaysia, and visitors can access the Skybridge and the Observation Deck. And, if you like shopping, don’t miss out on KLCC Suria, the shopping mall at the feet of the towers!
Price: 98 MYR (20€), Schedule: 9am – 9pm
Skybridge
The skybridge is a two-story bridge connecting the two towers at the 41st and 42nd floor. It is suspended and not directly connected to the towers to avoid breaking when the towers sway. Yes! That is scary, but it does feel safe when you’re there.
Observation deck
The Petronas Twin Towers’ Observation Deck, at a whopping 86th floor, offer a unique perspective of Kuala Lumpur’s urban landscape. This view offers you a great understanding of how massive this city is. Even though it is a quite expensive attraction, it is absolutely worth it to climb one of the most iconic buildings in the world and enjoy the view.
Not only the Observation Deck offers a gorgeous view of the whole city, but there is also some models and information about when the Petronas Twin Towers were built.
KLCC Park
Don’t forget to have a walk at the KLCC Park during your visit to the Petronas Twin Towers. This lush garden at the base of the towers is one of the best places to get a view of the building. This means that there are A LOT of people trying to take a picture. However, if you step a few meters into the garden, you’ll get a serene escape fo the business of this vibrant city. Also, if you visit during the evening, make sure you catch one of the Symphony Lake shows, a water light and sound show at the fountain below the towers. Shows happen daily at 20.00, 21.00 and 22.00.
2. Have a spiritual ascent at the Batu Caves
Nestled on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, the Batu Caves stand as a testament to Malaysia’s rich cultural heritage and natural splendor. The Batu Caves are a series of cave temples dedicated to the Hindu god Murugan, located just outside of Kuala Lumpur.
Price: free, Schedule: 6am-9pm
The entrance
The entrance of the temple has probably become the most instagrammable spot in recent years. It is presided by a huge golden statue of Murugan and a multi-colored staircase that is filled with mischevous monkeys. The cave entrance is on top of the steep flight of 272 stairs.
Travel tip: Do not bring food with you to avoid being harassed by the monkeys, and protect any glasses, hats or jewellery as well.
The temple
Upon entering the Temple Cave, you will be greeted by an expansive chamber adorned with intricately carved Hindu shrines and statues. The cave’s towering ceiling, adorned with natural skylights, adds a touch of ethereal beauty to the spiritual ambiance. The rays of sunlight that penetrate the cave create a mesmerizing play of light and shadow, enhancing the sense of awe and reverence.
How to get to Batu Caves
Getting to the Batu Caves from Kuala Lumpur is very easy and convenient. The most common mode of transportation is by train. Simply hop on the KTM Komuter train from KL Sentral station to Batu Caves station (the last station is Batu Caves, so can’t miss it). The journey takes approximately 30 minutes, and trains run at regular intervals throughout the day. Alternatively, just get a taxi or use Grab to get there. However, with how easy and cheap it is to get there with the train, I recommend that you save your money for the next section!
3. Treat your taste buds with Kuala Lumpur’s street food
When it comes to culinary adventures, Kuala Lumpur is a food lover’s paradise. The vibrant streets of the Malaysian capital are lined with countless food stalls and eateries, offering a tantalizing array of flavors and aromas. Embark on a gastronomic journey and savor the best of Kuala Lumpur’s street food scene, where the blending of diverse cultures creates a harmonious symphony of taste. Here are the best areas to try local dishes and some must-try delicacies that will leave you craving for more.
Jalan Alor
Located in the heart of Bukit Bintang, Jalan Alor is a bustling street that comes alive after sunset. This vibrant street is a treasure trove of amazing food, ranging from Chinese seafood dishes to Malay staples and everything in between. Indulge in grilled satay skewers, aromatic fried rice, crispy popiah (spring rolls), and the famous Hokkien mee. And don’t forget to taste the amazing seafood, especially the BBQ stingray, my favourite!
Chinatown (Petaling Street)
In the lively neighborhood of Chinatown, food enthusiasts will find an abundance of street food stalls and hawker centers offering an array of Chinese and Malaysian specialties. Feast on savory char kway teow (stir-fried noodles), Hainanese chicken rice, bak kut teh (pork rib soup), and an assortment of dim sum. We also had a delicious Curry Laksa in a small alley next to Petaling street. A full post about our food journey in KL is coming soon!
Kampung Baru
For a taste of traditional Malay cuisine, head to Kampung Baru, a Malay village situated in the heart of the city. This cultural enclave is renowned for its authentic flavors and warm hospitality. Sample the fragrant nasi lemak (coconut rice with various accompaniments), flavorful rendang (spicy meat dish), tender grilled ikan bakar (fish), and mouthwatering murtabak (stuffed pancake). Don’t miss the opportunity to try the refreshing sirap bandung, a rose-flavored milk drink.
Other areas – coming soon!
This topic is extremely large, especially in a city with such a culinary focus as Kuala Lumpur. For this reason, I will make a separate post, where I list the best areas for foodies to try awesome Malay cuisine as well as others. Also, I will give you a list of my favourite restaurants, street food stalls and dishes. So, stay tuned for more delicious content!
4. Escape to nature at KL Forest EcoPark or Lake Gardens
KL Forest EcoPark
When the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur becomes overwhelming, you can find solace in the city’s green sanctuaries. KL Forest EcoPark, located in the heart of the city, offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a tropical rainforest without leaving the urban landscape. Embark on a nature trail through the lush canopy, listen to the melodies of chirping birds, and encounter diverse flora and fauna.
Price: 40RM, Schedule: 7am-6pm
If you like to hike
KL Forest EcoPark is not only a sanctuary for nature lovers but also an educational hub. Make a stop at the Canopy Walk, a suspended walkway that offers a bird’s-eye view of the forest canopy. As you stroll along the elevated pathway, you’ll be captivated by the lush green canopy stretching as far as the eye can see. It’s a perfect spot for capturing stunning photographs and immersing yourself in the tranquility of nature.
If you like to learn
For those seeking a deeper understanding of the forest’s biodiversity, visit the Interpretive Forest Centre. Here, you can learn about the various species of plants and animals that inhabit the eco-park through informative exhibits and displays. Knowledgeable guides are available to provide insights into the ecosystem and answer any questions you may have.
Lake Garden (Perdana Botanical Gardens)
For a more expansive green escape, head to Lake Gardens, also known as Perdana Botanical Gardens. This massive park covers an impressive 91 hectares and features meticulously manicured gardens, tranquil lakes, and verdant rolling lawns. Take a leisurely walk or rent a bicycle to explore the park’s various attractions, including the Orchid Garden, Hibiscus Garden, and Butterfly Park. Be sure to visit the Deer Park, where you can observe these graceful creatures up close.
Perdana Botanical Gardens is also home to the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park, the largest walk-in aviary in Southeast Asia. Step into a world of vibrant feathers and melodious songs as you encounter over 200 bird species from around the world. From colorful parrots to majestic hornbills, this avian paradise offers a unique opportunity for bird lovers to observe and interact with these magnificent creatures.

5. Watch the city from above
Kuala Lumpur is a modern city and, as such, it has quite a few skyscrapers that offer a great view. The most obvious are the Petronas Twin Towers, which I covered in the first section of this post. I genuinely think you should visit the Observation Deck at the Petronas Twin Towers, but that doesn’t mean you cannot look for other amazing viewpoints in the city!
KL Tower
If you’re looking for an alternative vantage point, visit KL Tower, one of the tallest freestanding towers in the world. Ascend to the observation deck at a staggering height of 276 meters and prepare to be captivated by the unobstructed 360-degree views of the city. From this lofty perch, you can admire the city’s architectural wonders, spot famous landmarks, and even catch glimpses of the surrounding hills on clear days.
Price: 49 RM (10€), Schedule: 9am-10pm
Heli Lounge Bar
To elevate your experience even further, have a drink on a helipad in central KL. The Heli Lounge Bar, located atop a helipad, transforms into a trendy bar in the evening, allowing you to enjoy a drink while gazing at the glittering city lights below. It offers amazing views of some of KL’s most iconic landmarks, including the Petronas Twin Towers.
Price: 100RM (20€; includes 2 drinks), Schedule: 6pm-depending on the day
Merdeka 118
The tallest building in the city, the country, and the entire Southeast Asia, is also an option for a great view! Climb to the observation deck at Merdeka 118 to get amazing views of the city from the highest viewing platform in the region.
Find a hotel with a rooftop pool
The first time we visited Kuala Lumpur we had been actively traveling for over 2 months We had been doing intense physical activity such as mountain climbing or snorkeling, and often sleeping in less than ideal places. While this is usually not a problem for us, we had an accumulation of tiredness that was starting to take a toll on us. Therefore, we decided to allow ourselves a little comfort in our accommodation in Kuala Lumpur. One of the things that attracted us most to X was its gorgeous rooftop pool at floor X with views over the city. While we had amazing views at other places such as the Petronas Twin Towers or the Heli Lounge Bar, nothing beats having a swim up in the sky after a hard day of visiting.
6. Learn about Malaysian history in Merdeka Square
Merdeka Square, located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, holds significant historical importance as the site where Malaysia declared its independence on August 31, 1957. I know, not so long ago! This expansive open square is adorned with historical landmarks and serves as a gathering place for national celebrations and events. The focal point of Merdeka Square is the majestic Sultan Abdul Samad Building, an iconic piece of architecture that once housed the British colonial administration. While Merdeka Square may not be KL’s most impressive architectural display, it is important to acknowledge the relevance of this site in turning the fate of the country.
7. Chinatown
Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur is a melting pot of Chinese traditions and influences, evident in its ornate temples, colorful lanterns, and bustling markets. As you wander through its narrow streets, you’ll encounter traditional shophouses adorned with intricate designs, creating a nostalgic ambiance that transports you to a bygone era.
Chinatown is the perfect neighbourhood to indulge in Malay and Chinese street food, as I mentioned above. But also, it’s one of the best places to shop your heart out in KL. Get your souvenirs in the outdoors market at Petaling Street or the indoors Central Market. Don’t miss the opportunity to haggle for unique handicrafts, traditional Chinese medicine, and authentic silk products as well as clothing and electronics.
Top things to do in Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur
- Petaling Street for outdoors shopping

- Kwai Chai Hong, for an old-school Chinatown back alley
- Merdeka 118, the second tallest building in the world
Stay tuned! I am currently working on a specific post about Chinatown Kuala Lumpur.
8. Little India
Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Little India is a vibrant neighborhood that offers a captivating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Indian community in Malaysia. As you step into this bustling quarter, you’ll be greeted by a kaleidoscope of colors, the aroma of spices, and the rhythmic beats of Indian music. Little India is a sensory delight where you can embark on a cultural adventure like no other.
Little India, also called Brickfields, offers many gorgeous temples, mostly Hindu but also from other religions, including Thean Hou Temple (next section), one of the most stunning Chinese temples I’ve seen. This quarter is perfect for a shopaholic, since it offers plenty of venues to shop clothes, food, spices and trinkets. Brickfields becomes especially vibrant during Indian festivals, such as Deepavali (Diwali; mid-October – mid-November) or Thaipusam (end of Januari – beginning of February).
Top things to do in Little India, Kuala Lumpur
- Visit Sri Kandaswamy Kovil, a beautiful Hindu temple.
- Feast on Indian food: biryani, samosas, pakhoras, curries or tandoori.
- Go shopping for textiles and other Indian goods.
- Visit Thean Hou Temple (next section), one of the most stunning temples in the country.
- Celebrate an Indian festival!
9. Enjoy the beauty and serenity at Thean Hou Temple
Thean Hou temple is one of the most beautiful temples I’ve seen in all of Malaysia. This temple to the Chinese sea goddess Matsu is located atop a hill close to Little India. This gives it stunning views of the city from a relatively central location. But the temple itself is even more beautiful than the views! Every inch of Thean Hou is covered in striking red pillars, ornate roofs adorned with intricate carvings, and vibrant colors that symbolize good fortune and prosperity. The architecture combines elements of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, creating a harmonious blend of cultural influences.
Price: free, Schedule: 8am-10pm
One of the most beautiful parts of the temple is the inner yard, which is completely covered in yellow silk lanterns, giving it a Studio Ghibli fairytale vibe. Also, don’t forget to make your way to the upper levels, where you can find manicured gardens, pavilions and pagodas with fantastic views of the city’s skyline.
10. Learn about Malaysian and Islamic cultures at KL’s museums and mosques
Malaysia is a very historically interesting country in terms of cultural makeup, religion and political structure. However, and especially to people of the West, it is quite unknown. For this, I recommend that if you visit Malaysia you take some time to understand its background. One of the best places to do that is the capital Kuala Lumpur, with its vast array of museums and mosques that highlight the country’s history.
Fun fact: did you know that Malaysia is one of four elective monarchies in the world? The monarch is elected every 5 years from the 9 sultans of the different regions in the countries. I don’t know how much of a fun fact this is, but I found it very interesting!
Mosques to visit in Kuala Lumpur
- National Mosque: Masjid Negara is the most important symbol of the Islamic heritage of the country. Based on Prophet Muhammad’s home in Saudi Arabia, it has a more sober style than most mosques, exchanging mosaic work for toned down colors and an interesting architecture inspired in umbrellas to honor the country’s tropical climate.
- Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan: inspired by the Hagia Sofia Mosque (now church) in Istanbul, Turkey, this mosque is one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. Entering the yard you will be welcomed by the magnificent blue domes.
- Masjid India: Situated in the vibrant Little India neighborhood, this mosque showcases a fusion of Indian and Islamic architectural styles and is a significant place of worship for the local Indian-Muslim community.
- Masjid Jamek: a quaint sight having this beautiful mosque surrounded by the river and Kuala Lumpur’s skyscrapers.
- Masjid Asy-Syakirin: Located in the heart of KLCC Park, this mosque adjacent to the Petronas Twin Towers offers a serene place for prayer and features an elegant design inspired by traditional Islamic architecture.
Museums to visit in Kuala Lumpur
- National Museum of Malaysia: exhibits that cover the prehistoric era, ancient civilizations, colonial period, and the nation’s journey towards independence. The museum offers insights into Malaysia’s multi-ethnic society, traditions, and customs through a fascinating collection of artifacts, dioramas, and interactive displays.
- Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia: extensive collection fo Islamic artifacts, including intricately designed calligraphy, textiles, ceramics, and jewelry.
- National Textile Museum: showcases the rich heritage and intricate craftsmanship of Malaysia’s traditional textiles.
- Bank Negara Museum and Art Gallery: offers a fascinating journey through the history of Malaysia’s central bank and showcases a diverse collection of art and artifacts related to the country’s economy and cultural heritage.
Bonus: not a museum since you cannot visit, but definitely check out Istana Negara, the National Palace, which is the residence of the current king.
11. Shop ’til you drop regardless of your budget
Kuala Lumpur is a shopper’s paradise, offering an array of shopping experiences to suit every budget. Whether you’re a luxury brand enthusiast or a bargain hunter, the city has something to offer for everyone.
Budget shopping
If you’re on a tight budget or love the thrill of bargain hunting, Kuala Lumpur has vibrant street markets and flea markets that are worth exploring. Petaling Street in Chinatown is a bustling hub of street vendors selling a variety of goods, including clothing, accessories, electronics, and souvenirs. Hone your bargaining skills and snag some fantastic deals on unique finds.
Another must-visit for budget shoppers is Central Market, a cultural and shopping hub that offers an immersive experience. Here, you’ll find a mix of local crafts, traditional textiles, artwork, and handmade souvenirs. Take your time to explore the various stalls and discover authentic Malaysian treasures at affordable prices.
Mid-range shopping
For those seeking mid-range options, Berjaya Times Square offers a mix of international and local brands at more affordable prices. With over a thousand retail outlets, this expansive mall is a one-stop destination for fashion, accessories, electronics, and more. Take advantage of the frequent sales and promotions to score great deals on your favorite brands.

These luxurious retail destinations house international designer brands, haute couture boutiques, and flagship stores of renowned fashion labels. Indulge in a shopping spree amidst elegant surroundings and enjoy the latest fashion trends and collections. Another great option for luxury shopping and an easy combination with one of the city’s most iconic attractions is KLCC Suria, the mall located at the feet of the Petronas Twin Towers.
For a blend of luxury and affordability, don’t miss out on the city’s outlet malls. Mitsui Outlet Park and Johor Premium Outlets are popular choices for those seeking discounted branded goods. These outlets offer substantial savings on fashion, sportswear, accessories, and more, making it a haven for savvy shoppers.
How to get to Kuala Lumpur
By Air
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) serves as the main gateway to the city. It welcomes flights from major international destinations, making it convenient for travelers to reach Kuala Lumpur from virtually anywhere in the world. Upon arrival, you can easily connect to the city center via the KLIA Express train, taxis, or ride-sharing services.
By Train
For those already in Malaysia or neighboring countries, taking a train to Kuala Lumpur is a popular option. The city is well-connected to major towns and cities within Malaysia, as well as neighboring countries like Singapore and Thailand. The modern and efficient train services, such as the Electric Train Service (ETS) and KTM Intercity, provide comfortable and scenic journeys to Kuala Lumpur.
By Bus
Traveling to Kuala Lumpur by bus is a cost-effective and convenient option, especially if you’re coming from nearby cities or towns in Malaysia or even from Singapore or Thailand. The city is well-served by numerous bus operators, offering a range of routes and schedules to cater to different travelers’ needs. The main bus terminals in Kuala Lumpur are TBS (Terminal Bersepadu Selatan) and Pudu Sentral, from where you can easily access the city center.
By Car
If you prefer the freedom and flexibility of a road trip, driving to Kuala Lumpur is a viable option. Malaysia has a well-maintained network of highways, making it convenient to reach the city by car. Just be aware of toll fees and parking availability in the city center. Also, keep in mind that traffic congestion can be heavy during peak hours, so plan your journey accordingly.
How to move around in Kuala Lumpur
While Kuala Lumpur is a MASSIVE city, most of its touristic attractions are centered around a smaller area that is well covered by an efficient railway system. This is comprised of MRT (basically a metro), LRT (light rail transit) and a monorail. Using these for transportation in the city is, in my opinion, the best way to move around. It gets even more cost-effective when you get a Rapid KL card, which allows you to charge an amount of money and easily pay for your rides.
Another option are the Rapid KL buses. While they are a bit harder to navigate and can often get stuck in the heavy traffic of the city at rush hours, it is the cheapest way to move in the city.
When going to less well connected areas of the city, your best friend will Grab, a car-hailing app that offers quite affordable car services for a fixed rate, which is usually cheaper that whatever you can get while bargaining if you look like a Westerner.
Lastly, to access the city’s suburbs, such as when visiting Batu Caves, the train is an easy, fast and affordable option.
Where to stay in Kuala Lumpur
A city as massive as Kuala Lumpur offers a wide range of accommodation options, from budget-friendly hostels to splurge-worthy luxury stays. In terms of areas, the most popular and offering the widest range are Bukit Bintang, KL Sentral and Chinatown. You may be looking for something more upscale. In that case, definitely check out for accommodation in KLCC, near the Petronas Twin Towers. Alternatively, if you’re looking for less touristy areas, Kampung Baru and Chow Kit offer a more authentic experience. On one of our visits to the city, we decided to go farther away from the crowds. We rented an apartment in residential area Bangsar South, and it was amazing for a fraction of the price!
Budget
Kuala Lumpur (and Malaysia) is noticeably more expensive than most of Southeast Asia (probably with the exception of Singapore). That being said, there are a few options for those trying to save some money.
If you’re on a budget but still want to enjoy your stay in Kuala Lumpur, there are several affordable options available. In the lively area of Bukit Bintang, you can consider Indie Hotel or citizenM, both offering comfortable accommodations at reasonable prices.

For a unique experience, Space Hotel in Chinatown offers a trendy and budget-friendly stay in space pods! In the less touristy areas, MoMo’s Hotel in Chow Kit is conveniently situated close to The Row, a hip street with various dining and entertainment options and my favourite restaurant in KL: Limapulo: Baba Can Cook.
Midrange
The midrange accommodation is where KL really shines. Bukit Bintang is a popular area with hotels like Capri by Fraser, KLoe Hotel, The Kuala Lumpur Journal Hotel, and Mercure Kuala Lumpur Shaw Parade. These hotels combine stylish designs, modern amenities, and convenient locations.
