Kuala Lumpur travel and tourist guide
The Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur is a fascinating city filled with a wealth of contrasting sights. Although barely 100-years-old, this modern metropolis is a firm testament to the might of the tiger economies and has become synonymous with wealth, commerce and true multiculturality.
The Petronas Twin Towers are arguably the most iconic buildings in Asia and were the tallest in the world until 2004. Having appeared in countless films, video games, TV shows and music videos, they dominate the KL skyline and are a focal point for the nation’s pride. Colonial edifices such as historic Kuala Lumpur Railway Station or Dataran Merdaka draw massive crowds desperate to learn about the city’s colourful past.
