Kuala Lumpur promises to pack in a bit of everything. It boasts of stunning architecture, vibrant history and exciting food culture.

A visit to the tallest twin towers in the world - Petronas Towers, each standing at a height of 452 metres - will be intriguing. 

From mosques to Chinese pagodas and terraced temple-tops, the city features some incredible architecture that represents the nation’s diverse cultural influences.

Plan a visit to the National Museum to learn about the country’s evolution from pre-historic times to present-day, and marvel at the 11,000-year-old Perak Man - a landmark archaeological discovery for the nation.

Sin Sze Si Ya Temple, the city’s oldest Chinese temple built in 1864, and the Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad, which is Malaysia’s first brick mosque, should also be on the to-see list.  

After taking in all the sights and sounds of the city, give your tastebuds a treat while meandering through the streets that are peppered with street stalls and quaint coffee shops or ‘Kopitiam’. Enjoy a steaming serving of ‘Nasi Lemak’ – a delicious preparation of Malay origin - or cool down with a refreshing, tropical fruit drink.
