KUALA LUMPUR
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital, is a city where modern meets multicultural. Think gleaming skyscrapers standing beside colonial buildings, spicy street food next to fine dining, and a skyline crowned by the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. Kuala Lumpur is a city of contrasts — tall towers and humble temples, luxury malls and old markets, spicy food and sweet smiles. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a week, KL will surprise you, feed you, and leave you wanting more.
It’s a melting pot of Malay, Chinese, and Indian culture, where you can go from shopping in mega-malls to eating satay on the sidewalk, visiting a mosque, a temple, and a high-end bar — all in the same day.
