Amazing Holidays in Kuala Lumpur!
Walking the streets of Kuala Lumpur can feel a bit like time travel, where you weave between modern high rises and ancient temples, with both very old and very new sitting proudly side by side. Kuala Lumpur is a city which encompasses the best of Malaysia. Glitzy shopping malls are across the street from vibrant handicraft market stalls, and Hindu temples sit in the shadow of the modern architecture of the Petronas Towers, the tallest twin towers in the world!
A holiday here is full of plenty of adventure. The weather is humid but pleasant outside of the monsoon season, and the food is out of this world! There are plenty of amazing food options, from the many street food carts and tea stalls for a quick, authentic lunch to the glamorous restaurants and rooftop bars with views over the whole multicultural city!
A short trip outside of the city and you can experience all that outdoor Malaysia has to offer, from cave trips to visit bat colonies to rock climbing, and even swimming under magnificent waterfalls. A 30-minute drive north of the city takes you to Bukit Tabur, a popular hike up the green, rocky mountain with spectacular views of other cloud-tipped craggy peaks in the distance, with lakes all around. You would never know that the modern metropolis of Kuala Lumpur was so close!
Here are some other top tips for experiences to have on your trip to Kuala Lumpur:
- Take a walk-through central Kuala Lumpur at night to experience Lake Symphony, a beautiful water fountain display set to music with stunning lighting. Keep walking to where the two main rivers in the city join to a place called the River of Life, where the mist from the water is said to contain dancing fairies!
- Visit one of the many temples in the city to understand the religious and cultural history of Malaysia. The golden facade of Arulmigu Sri Ramalinga Eeswarar Temple is a stunning example of Madras style and is a peaceful, contemplative experience.
- If you’re looking for a little more excitement, a stroll down Jalan Ampang, the hippest street in the city, offers boutique shopping and bustling cafes. Stroll towards the beautiful art deco style Old Market Square Clock Tower which is surrounded by Kuala Lumpur’s most impressively decorated contemporary buildings.
- Jalan Alor is a street famed for its plethora of eateries. While you’re pausing to decide which colourful restaurant to eat at, notice that this street also has some of the best street art you’ll ever have seen - a feast for the eye and the belly!

THE BRIDGE IN THE SKY!
Take a walk along the Skybridge, a long glass bridge between the incredible Petronas Towers. These identical glass-and-steel beauties, the tallest twin towers in the world at 88-storeys high, are connected by the Skybridge. It’s the best vantage point in the city and the best place to take photos of enigmatic Kuala Lumpur. For an extra-special aerial experience, take the Twin Towers Guided Evening Experience and watch the sun set on this special place as the night comes alive in a flurry of twinkling stars and neon lights.
