Things to do

The Petronas Twin Towers

This spectacular edifice held the title for the tallest building in the world from 1998 – 2004, until there was an inexplicable scramble throughout the world to go higher. Though it no longer holds the title of tallest building it is still a very beautiful work of architecture and it is without a doubt the defining focal point of Kuala Lumpur’s skyline. It stands over 450 metres off the ground and a trip to the top is a must as aside from anything else it affords the most spectacular panoramas of the city available.

The National Museum

This is a great opportunity to explore Malaysia’s rich cultural and natural heritage; it has displays documenting the country’s story from prehistory to the mighty Malaccan empire and all the way up to independence and modernity. Like every country worth its salt Malaysia has a tumultuous history and one full of twists and intrigue - this museum is a fine way to get to grips with it.

Kuala Lumpur Railway Station

This is a stunning example of Malaysia’s often forgotten Islamic heritage. The station is an pristine example of Moorish architecture, so much so that if travellers were to forget themselves for a moment they may think they were in Morocco or Andalucía. It is also home of the railway museum which is surprisingly interesting even for those among us who are not so keen on train-spotting.

The Batu Caves

This is perfect for the traveller who is pressed for time in Kuala Lumpur; it affords the opportunity for an excursion out of the city when one doesn’t have time to explore the countryside in depth. The caves are easily accessible from the city via public transport, it is a great location for climbing, viewing ruined temples and getting close to the area’s wildlife. A wonderful day trip for people of all ages, whether they’re a adventurous rock climber, a history buff or wildlife enthusiast.
