Places to visit in KL

KLCC Twin Towers

Why come to Malaysia but never visit the iconic KLCC Twin Towers? If you’d like, you can shop till you drop or maybe check out cute fishies in Aquaria. 🐟 If you’re not afraid of heights, you could buy a ticket which gives you access to the Sky Bridge on the 41st floor, and the Observation Deck on the 86th floor. Hours: Shopping complex (9:00AM-9:00PM) Aquaria (10:00AM- 8:00PM) SkyBridge & Observation Deck (9:00AM- 9:00PM, Tues-Sun)

Menara KL Tower

Another one of Malaysia’s icons, this place is clearly not worth missing while travelling in Malaysia. You can also try the revolving restaurant called Atmosphere 360, where you can enjoy a meal up in the clouds…. literally 282m above the ground 😱😱 You dare meh? Hours: 9:00AM- 10:00PM

Petaling Street

Are you a bargain hunter? 💸 If yes, check out Petaling Street! Just the ideal place to find local souvenirs, such as accessories, clothes and cool Kraftangan (Handicrafts) made by the locals. Hours: 10:00AM-9:00PM

Istana Budaya (National Theater)

Also known as the Palace of Culture, this is the main venue for all types of theatre including musical theatre, operetta, classical concert and opera from local and international performances.

Dataran Merdeka or Merdeka Square

Prefer to chillax? 🚶‍♂️ Take a stroll at night at the Dataran Merdeka. Here, you’ll get to stand directly on the historical site where Malaya declared its independence. Fun idea: try to reenact Tunku Abdul Rahman!

Little India

Fancy some indian culture? Brickfields, more commonly known as Little India, is known for its bustling streets with a high percentage of Indian businesses and also residents. Hours: 10:00AM to 9:00PM

Thean Hou Temple

Thean Hou Temple is a popular wedding venue among KL’s Chinese locals. But that doesn’t mean you have to propose to someone to visit it. 😂😂 The Thean Hou Temple is among the largest Chinese temples in South East Asia, having fantastic views and beautiful architecture. Hours: 8:00AM- 9:00PM
