Kuala Lumpur travel tips


Kuala Lumpur is the capital and the largest city in Malaysia. A melting pot of cultural delights, food, some of the cheapest high quality hotels in the world and some amazing sights to see, Kuala Lumpur is a great location for anyone looking for an exciting travel destination. Here are my top 3 travel tips for visiting KL:



1. It can get really hot and humid. Average temperatures in Kuala Lumpur are around 30 degrees Celsius and the sun can be unforgiving. Plan any strenuous activities in the early morning or in the afternoon/night. If you can't handle the sun, cheap umbrellas are available at convenience or drug stores. These are great for cover from the sun and also useful in case of rain.

2. Transport. Kuala Lumpur is quite a messy and unstructured city so taking the taxi is not a bad option and also quite cheap. Public transport is also good but taxis are much easier. Furthermore, if drivers demand a fixed price, find another as taxis in KL have meters.

3. Tipping is quite common in Kuala Lumpur both in restaurants and taxis. If the service merits it, don't be afraid to tip 10% of the charge and for taxis don't be afraid to give a few extra ringgit which is not much at all.
