Things to do in Kuala Lumpur

Once the meetings are over, there is plenty to explore in Kuala Lumpur such as world-class shopping, exciting theme parks, international sporting events, dazzling cultural performances and a nightlife that never seems to end. Shoppers will be delighted in what Kuala Lumpur has to offer, from deluxe shopping centres and complexes to bazaars and night markets that offer an irresistible choice of local collectables as well as international labels. Among the must visit shopping centres is Suria KLCC. Located at the base of one of the icons of the city’s skyline – the Petronas Twin Towers. Chinatown, based in Petaling Street, a reference to its roots as a tapioca-producing district is deeply immersed in Oriental culture, heritage and history. At night, its main market area transforms into a lively and vibrant night market, filled with hundreds of stalls offering all kinds of goods.

Visitors will have plenty to explore including monuments, parks and museums. Kuala Lumpur offers both modern and historical attractions. Historical highlights include the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, a Moorish-styled building that faces Merdeka Square. This is where many of Malaysia’s celebrations are held, from Independence Day to New Year’s Day.

A modern landmark is the KL Tower which is the fourth tallest tower in the world. With its base surrounded by the Bukit Nanas Tropical Rainforest Reserve (that in itself is an attraction on its own), this telecommunications tower also houses a variety of souvenir shops and restaurants at its base, and an observation deck and revolving restaurant on the upper decks. Diners here will get a stunning 360° view of the city.

A night out in Kuala Lumpur offers such an array of entertainment outlets and eateries that there is something to suit every mood and taste. Bintang Walk is a pedestrian strip lined with bistros and sidewalk cafes, while Jalan Sultan Ismail is one of the ripest clubbing zones in the region. Changkat Bukit Bintang, with its gamut of eateries and watering holes, is the place to see and be seen. And of course, there is the food. Whether it is haute cuisine or hawkers’ fare, international delights or local delicacies, there is an eatery that will serve any taste bud. Indulge in Malaysia’s gastronomical delights around the clock with hawker stalls and coffee shops operating until the wee hours of the morning. It’s a city that never sleeps.
