Upon your arrival in Kuala Lumpur

The quickest way to reach central Kuala Lumpur from the airport is via the KLIA Express, which will get you downtown in under 30 minutes. Taxis are also a convenient option, taking around an hour to reach the city centre. Alternatively, you can take the Transit Metro Train, Airport Bus Coach Service or rent a car.

A brief introduction to Kuala Lumpur

Rich architecture, pan-regional cultural heritage, and an energetic nightlife are a few of the many reasons why Kuala Lumpur is a renowned travel destination.

No trip to Malaysia’s capital would be complete without a visit to its landmark Petronas Twin Towers – the world’s tallest twin structure. Boasting unparalleled views across Kuala Lumpur’s dazzling skyline, the towers offer an excellent vantage point for spotting both the city’s skyscrapers and grand, ornate buildings from its colonial past. Some noteworthy buildings you can see are the old British-era Merdeka Square, Menara KL Tower, and the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station.

As the sun sets, watch Kuala Lumpur come to life as bulb-lit streets illuminate colourful night markets and steamy food stalls. Head to the centrally-located Petaling Street market, where you can enjoy local delicacies such as ‘nasi lemak’ (a creamy coconut rice dish served with sambal), chicken satay, and pork-filled steamed buns. While you are here, you can also shop for authentic souvenirs and local trinkets to take back home with you.

To experience the city’s high-end shopping and entertainment options, explore the district of Bukit Bintang. Here, you can find premium designer brands alongside fine dining restaurants, hip cafes, and trendy bars.
