A brief introduction to Kuala Lumpur

Chinese, Indian and Malay influences come together in Malaysia’s capital of Kuala Lumpur, a metropolis punctuated with world-famous skyscrapers, luxury retail options, and excellent restaurants.

Kuala Lumpur’s skyline is dominated by the magnificent glass Petronas Twin Towers, which tower above a luxury mall and hold the record for being the world’s tallest twin structure. The observation deck on the 86th floor offers excellent views of the city. Other British colonial-era landmarks such as Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, and the iconic Menara KL Tower are well worth a visit.

For a more upscale shopping experience, head to Bukit Bintang, home to fashion boutiques and upmarket shopping malls amid al fresco bars and live music clubs. No trip to Kuala Lumpur is complete without a visit to the vibrant Petaling street market, which offers hundreds of local stalls and an ideal opportunity to find an authentic souvenir to take home.

Kuala Lumpur’s most famous food street, Jalan Alor, is abundant with aromas and flavours. While you’re here, be sure to try Malaysia’s char kway teow (fried flat noodles) and Malaysian-style BBQ chicken wings.
