WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT?Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia and is Asia’s green capital due to its lack of populace and the fact nature often comes into close contact with the city as monkeys go close to skyscrapers and so on.

Kuala Lumpur is a meeting point of cultures with the diverse Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures coming together to live in harmony. The streets are lined with a collection of mosques, Buddhist temples and Hindu shrines. Various festivals are celebrated throughout the year including Aidilfitri, Mooncake Festival and Deepavali.

The city has never had a clear design with buildings around Merdeka Square showing influences from across the British Empire, alongside modern landmarks such as the Kuala Lumper Tower.

ATTRACTIONSWe’ve selected our top 5 things to see and do in Kuala Lumpur:

Petronas Towers: It is impossible to miss the 88-sotry Twin Towers. Why not go to the Skybridge and experience some of the most stunning views of the whole city. Hidden in the Tower’s underbelly as well is the Dewan Filharmonik Petronas, home to the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra.

Acquaria KLCC: A world-class aquarium that showcases marine life from Malaysia and all over the world. At the Acquaria KLCC you can get involved by feeding a selection of marine animals in daily sessions.

Botanical Gardens: Situated in the Heritage Park of Kuala Lumpur, the Botanical Gardens are part of the city’s green hub. Visitors say it is almost like visiting a tropical rainforest in the middle of a city.

KL Bird Park: KL Bird Park is the world’s largest free-flight walk in aviary! You can chase peacock, pose with parrots, watch eggs be laid and just be in awe of all the birds flying around you.

Batu Caves: Batu Caves are a distinctive labyrinth of caves found in a limestone hill. It is the site of a Hindu temple and shrine, and there is a staggering 272 step climb to see the spectacular skyline of the city centre.

WEATHER

Kuala Lumpur tends to be hot and humid with temperatures ranging between 22°C and 32°C. The city has two predominant seasons: the dry, lasting from May to September, and the wet season over November to March. Despite this, rain can fall at almost any time of the year with about 200 days of the year being hit by rainfall.

Flooding can be a frequent occurrence after a heavy downpour, especially in the city centre, which is something to bear in mind when planning your trip.

CLOTHING

Kuala Lumpur’s tropical climate means it is best to wear lightweight, cotton clothes such as shorts and T-shirts for a comfortable visit.

Sun glasses and sun cream should also be packed to protect from the bright sun.

If you are planning on visiting during a wet season, make sure to bring with you suitable waterproof clothing as only an umbrella may not be enough during the heavy downfalls.

IDEAL FOR…?

Kuala Lumpur is an ideal destination in Malaysia for people who want to experience a melting pot of cultures and history brought together.

It is definitely family friendly with the green outdoor spaces such as the Botanical Gardens to explore and the shopping districts have child friendly activities.
