Kuala Lumpur's Many Attractions

Malaysia’s capital is jam packed with so much to do and see from historic monuments, to steel-clad skyscrapers, lush parks, mega-sized shopping malls, bustling street markets and trendy nightspots. A respect for the many mosques and temples of its ancient culture is balanced with the burgeoning scene of contemporary art and design along with a vibrant digital economy.

The Petronas Twin Towers

The unmistakable outline of the Petronas Twin Towers has come to be one of the most iconic attractions in the city, defining its tourist destination status. For a time, this famous building was the world’s tallest, standing at 452m. Stretching out to the side of the Petronas Twin Towers is the spacious and beautifully landscaped KLCC Park, the best place to admire the Towers, featuring walking paths and a wading pool for children. A visit to this famous site could involve visits to Suria KLCC a giant shopping mall at the foot of the towers, the Petrosains Science Centre, the Aquaria oceanarium or even a concert at the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra.

The best views of the surrounding districts can be seen at the KL Tower, officially known as Menara KL, the city’s telecommunications and broadcasting tower. Standing atop the Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve, it contains a revolving restaurant and observation deck.
