Kuala Lumpur

One of Asia’s newest and fastest-growing cities, Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur has firmly established itself as a must-visit destination on any Southeast Asia trip with its striking blend of big city activity and exotic local intrigue.

A cosmopolitan blend of cultures that combine influences from Malay, China, Tamil, Arabia and Persia, Kuala Lumpur’s offerings are as enticing as they are plentiful.

Admire the views from the stunning Petronas Twin Towers, one of the world’s most recognisable skyscraper complexes, peruse the bustling markets for local fruits and textiles, enjoy the choice from some of Asia’s biggest shopping centres, discover tranquil ancient temples and explore the fascinating Batu Caves. KL, as it is often known, is a city to satisfy the senses.
