Review of Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur
Take flights to Kuala Lumpur for sky-high views, market haggling and sizzling satay at energetic night markets.
Things to do
Get your bearings over Kuala Lumpur from the giddy 452-metre height of the Petronas Towers. The 41st-floor Skybridge affords sweeping views over Kuala Lumpur’s forest of skyscrapers.
Shopping
Join the throng at the Art Deco Central Market to haggle for colourful batik fabrics, painted parasols and gleaming kris daggers. The stinky but sweet durian, prickly rambutan and smooth soursop fruits sold here are worth trying on your Kuala Lumpur holiday.
Restaurants
Flaming woks and animated chatter fill Kuala Lumpur's roadside night markets. Head to Jalan Alor to feast on chicken satay dipped in peanut sauce, spicy curries mopped up with roti and fragrant rice served on banana leaves.
Nightlife
Party spirit meets colonial architecture on Asian Heritage Row. DJs spin R’n’B in fashionable clubs and local bands perform in laid-back bars. The Indo-chic lounge bars are a decadent place to relax with a cocktail after Kuala Lumpur flights.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Kuala Lumpur. Time your Kuala Lumpur city break to catch top events, like the firecrackers and lion dances of Chinese New Year, or the culture-packed programme at July's KL Festival.
