Holidays to Kuala Lumpur

This busy, modern, yet charming metropolis is somewhere every visitor to Malaysia should experience and spend at least 2 or 3 nights exploring.  Whether it’s the backstreet food stalls cooking up some delicious Malay cuisine, the modern, designer shopping malls that are dotted around the city or the amazing cultural sites within or surrounding the city, there’s plenty to pack into a few days here and you’ll be so glad you did.

 

As the capital of Malaysia, you’d expect this city to be modern, business-like and efficient. Indeed it is, but it is also a city steeped in history and one that benefits from a wonderful mix of cultures from nearby Indonesia, Thailand, India and China beyond.


Step away from the busy streets and high-rise buildings and you will come across side streets oozing with character, whether it is old buildings housing generations of one family, small boutique shops selling locally handcrafted goods or local family-run restaurants serving delicious homemade cuisine.  Don’t be shy to venture away from the main tourist route and explore some of these back streets, whether it’s on foot, by bicycle or even by hailing a local trishaw driver and asking him to show you around.


Unlike some of the other major cities in Asia, and perhaps with the exception of the Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur is not necessarily blessed with iconic buildings and sights to see – it is for this reason that you need to grab yourself a good guidebook and some comfy shoes and go out there and explore the city – you won’t be disappointed!

Getting Around

Kuala Lumpur is the main hub for Malaysia and many airlines fly here from the UK with direct flights operated by British Airways and Malaysia Airlines. You can also choose from a selection of indirect flights including those operated by Emirates, Qatar or Singapore Airlines, to name but a few. Once you have landed in Kuala Lumpur it is very easy to get around, whether you choose to take a local taxi, one of the many regular buses, the Light Rail Transit(LRT) or the KL Monorail which cuts through the city connecting many of the major areas.

Experience Jalan Alor

Experience Jalan Alor

This unique food destination in the heart of Kuala Lumpur is a place not to be missed if sampling the local cuisine is high on your agenda. The best time to visit it is once the sun begins to set as this is when the streets will be bustling with life.  With rows and rows of hawker stalls, this is where some of the city’s best food can be found and it is popular with both tourists and locals – always a good sign! You come here for the food, not the furniture, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself eating on the side streets, sat on plastic chairs – it’s all part of the experience!

The Petronas Towers
