Things to do in Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur mixes Malay, Chinese and Indian culture in one fast-moving, friendly city. The steel Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower dominate the skyline, while mosques, Hindu temples and Chinese shophouses sit a few streets apart, and night markets fill the air with the smell of satay and noodles.

The city is also a practical base for day trips: the limestone Batu Caves are on the edge of town, the old port of Malacca is a couple of hours south, and the cool tea country of the Cameron Highlands is within reach for a long day out.
