Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia’s prominent skyline
The capital city of Malaysia is not only famous for the Petronas Twin Towers and shimmering night skyline but also its elusive historical attractions like British colonial architectural monuments. The populous city of Kuala Lumpur is divided into 3 main sections: the Kuala Lumpur City Centre, the Bukit Bintang, and Chinatown. Moreover, Kuala Lumpur is also a popular shopping destination for upscale tourists. For more budget tourists Kuala Lumpur has more affordable flea markets that stick to the true essence of Malaysian culture.

Things to do in Kuala Lumpur
You have not done anything in Kuala Lumpur if you haven't walked on the 58 m long Sky Bridge on the 41st and 42nd floor of the Petronas Twin Towers. However, if your interests lie more towards exploring cultures, then hunting for enticing bargains at Jalan Alor and Jalan Petaling can be the most exciting thing for you. Or for more of an ecological trip, you can go cycling at the Perdana Botanical gardens too.
