Kuala Lumpur has really come into its own in recent years, and is now giving other popular Asian destinations, such as Singapore and Bangkok, a run for their tourism money. The Malaysian capital is a thriving city that has a multi-ethnic population comprising Malays, Chinese, Indonesians and Europeans. The city’s ultra-modern airport welcomes visitors on flights from around the world, including the UK, and the good news is that tickets are now cheaper than ever.
Kuala Lumpur is an engrossing and engaging city, with all manner of sights and attractions to delight the visitor. The booming economy is evident in the many soaring skyscrapers that dot the landscape, topped off by the towering Petronas Twin Towers, which at 1,483 feet were once the world’s tallest buildings – a grand feat of engineering that really put Kuala Lumpur on the global map. Elsewhere in the city, charming colonial-era buildings line the street, and there’s always lots to see in Chinatown, Little India and Kampung Baru. The shopping is incredible, and at night the city comes alive once more, with hip bars, great restaurants and colourful night markets selling practically everything, including mouth-watering hawker food.
