Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur is known for its skyscrapers and cultural diversity. Rise to the top of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers–the world’s tallest twin towers; or brave the glass-bottomed viewing box at the Sky Deck in KL Tower!

A city bustling with excitement from day to night, Kuala Lumpur offers you a splashing good time at Sunway Lagoon. Spend time walking up the steps of the Batu Caves, a picturesque limestone hill. A melting pot of culture from all over the world, the local cuisine is bound to tantalize your taste buds! Simply go on a street food hunt and you’ll understand why. To escape the heat, take a day trip to Genting Highlands, a hilltop City of Entertainment.

Why people love Kuala Lumpur

5 /5

Highly recommended
KLIA Ekspres Airport Train Tickets (QR Code Direct Entry)
The KLIA Express is a great way to get fast access into the heart of Kuala Lumpur and vice versa especially during the peak hours where you may be caught in the traffic. It beats any other travel options as it makes the journey to KLIA 1 in 28 minutes and continues in just minutes to KLIA 2. The cost for a one-way ticket is RM 55 but worth the cost if you're in a rush!

Highly recommended
Sunway Lagoon
The Malaysia Sunway Lagoon Water Park Kuala Lumpur is lots of fun and the perfect way to cool down after a busy morning exploring the rest of the park.. There are fun and thrilling Sunway Lagoon slides as well as a big Sunway Lagoon surf beach where waves appear for an hour in the afternoon when we visited. You can try some actual Sunway Lagoon surfing here! The Sunway Lagoon wave pool is a fun place to hang out when you want a rest from walking around. My favourite part is the sandy Sunway Lagoon beach here. There’s plenty of shade and facilities so you can relax and enjoy. If you need them, there are also plenty of choices for a locker Sunway Lagoon and plenty of Sunway Lagoon food if you get hungry. The slides are fun though – you can race your friends, shoot down 15 metre drops and go on Malaysia’s longest water ride on the Vuvuzela with rapids and a launch from a tower 11 storeys high. More relaxing is the lazy river ride although this was disappointing because the tubes to float in cost extra and there is no current to push you around. The Water Park Sunway Lagoon is probably the best part of the theme park and there are other pools in addition to the wave pool. For younger kids, there is also a great water playground.

[Klook Exclusive] The Foundry Workshop in Royal Selangor Visitor Centre at Kuala Lumpur
Bought the package as a birthday gift for my best friend and it is worth every penny!!! We had so much fun starting from the Gallery Tour & learned many interesting facts. Our instructor of the day, Mr. Azree was really patient in teaching us during the workshops. He was very jovial, encouraging and helpful too. After the workshop, we headed to the Cafe and I gotta say, the lunch was not bad at all! Thank you to Ms. Cleeo from the Shop too for helping out with the gifts. All in all, a very memorable and splendid day well spent.

Hauntu Immersive Experience in The LINC Kuala Lumpur
The staff were very accomodating. We were late due to traffic but they were able to hold our spot for us. You will need to whasapp them to make a reservation and they will send you a confirmation email. They will also send us a reminder text before your session. Plus, we had a very good time during the experience. Will definitely recommend to try it out at least once.
