Start your day with a visit to the iconic Petronas Towers, the tallest twin towers in the world. The towers have a sky bridge that connects them, offering spectacular views of the city. Afterward, head to Chinatown, where you can browse the street markets for souvenirs and try local street food. Don't miss the historic Sri Mahamariamman Temple.
Start your morning with a trip to the stunning Batu Caves, a series of limestone caves with Hindu temples inside. Be prepared to climb 272 steps to reach the main cave and its giant statue of Lord Murugan. Afterward, head to KL Bird Park, the largest free-flight aviary in the world. Here, you can see over 200 species of birds and even feed them by hand.
Begin your day at the National Mosque, an impressive modern mosque with beautiful blue and green stained glass windows. Non-Muslim visitors are welcome, but be sure to dress appropriately. Afterward, head to Central Market, a restored Art Deco building that now houses boutiques selling local crafts and souvenirs. Don't miss the authentic Malaysian street food stalls on the second floor.
If you have more time, add a visit to the Islamic Arts Museum or take a day trip to the Batik Factory and Pewter Factory. If you have less time, skip KL Bird Park or Central Market, or combine days 1 and 2 into one day. To save money, consider taking public transport or walking instead of taking taxis.
