1. Menara KL Tower

We like to start our trips with a view of the city – so let’s head up the TV tower! The 421-meter-high Menara KL Tower is the tallest TV tower in Malaysia and one of the absolute highlights in Kuala Lumpur. From here, you have a fantastic view of the entire city and even the surrounding mountains.

Entry for the Menara Kuala Lumpur Tower costs 60 MYR for the Observation Deck (approx. €13) or 110 MYR (approx. €24) for the Sky Deck, which is one floor higher. The tower is open every day from 9am to 10pm all year round – perfect for a visit, whether in the morning, afternoon, or at sunset.

Visitor Information – Menara Kuala Lumpur

• Address: 2 Jalan Punchak, Off, Jalan P. Ramlee
• Opening Hours: Daily from 9am to 10pm
• Entrance Fees: 60 MYR Observation Deck, 110 MYR Sky Deck
• Tickets: On-site or online Sky Deck*

2. Petronas Twin Towers

Next we go to the landmark of Kuala Lumpur – the impressive Petronas Twin Towers. The twin towers of the petroleum company Petronas rise 452 meters into the sky and are connected by the 59-meter-long “Sky Bridge” at a height of 172 meters.

The bridge has been open to visitors since 2000, but tickets are highly sought after and often sell out early in the day. On our last visit, we skipped the view from the observation deck, as we already had a great view of the city from the TV tower. Instead, we comfortably enjoyed the view from KLCC Park, which stretches directly in front of the Petronas Towers.

At the foot of the Petronas Towers lies the Suria KLCC shopping center – perfect for a shopping spree on six levels. Thanks to the on-site KLCC train station, you can also get around conveniently and inexpensively. Alternatively, Kuala Lumpur’s city center is also great to explore on foot.

Visitor information for Petronas Towers:

• Address: Lower Ground (Concourse) Level, Kuala Lumpur City Center
• Opening hours: daily from 9:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• Tickets:limited to 1,000 tickets per day
• Prices: approx. €30 per person (Buy the Petronas Towers e-ticket here*)

3. KLCC Park

Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur is KLCC Park, a green oasis located directly in front of the imposing Petronas Towers. The park was designed to create a balance between the city’s modern architecture and nature. It is a perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the metropolis.

The artificial Symphony Lake is particularly impressive, with its two water features that delight visitors in the evenings with a spectacular light and music show. A 1.3 km jogging path winds through the park and invites you to take a stroll or do some exercise.

The park also has a lot to offer families. There is, among other things, a spacious children’s playground and over 1,900 trees that provide plenty of shade. The view of the skyline and the Twin Towers from KLCC Park is truly unique. Simply take the train to the “KLCC” station.

4. China Town/ Petaling Street

Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur is, in our opinion, an absolute must-see! This colorful district in the heart of the city offers a mix of culture, history, and vibrant life. The central hub here is Petaling Street, where one market follows the next. Here you can find souvenirs, clothing, accessories, and, of course, plenty of delicious street food—from fried noodles to traditional Chinese snacks.

In addition to the market, Chinatown also offers cultural highlights. The Sri Mahamariamman Temple, one of the oldest Hindu temples in the city, impresses with its colorful decorations. The Guan Di Temple and the Chan See Shu Yuen Temple are also worth a visit.

The district is not only ideal for shopping, but also for anyone who wants to experience the bustling life and cultural diversity of the city. In the evening, Chinatown transforms into a very lively place where the lights of the street stalls and the aromas of the food stalls dominate the atmosphere.

Our tip: Go during the day to explore the temples and shops at your leisure, and come back in the evening to enjoy the street food and the special atmosphere!

5. Sri Maha Mariamman Temple

The Sri Maha Mariamman Temple is the oldest and one of the most important Hindu temples in Kuala Lumpur. This temple is located in the heart of bustling Chinatown and is a stunning example of Dravidian architecture. It serves as a central meeting place for devout Hindus, especially during festivals like Thaipusam.

The entrance is dominated by a magnificent gopuram, a 23-meter-high, colorful tower. It is decorated with detailed figures of Hindu deities and is one of the most beautiful of its kind in Malaysia. Inside, you’ll find elaborately designed altars dedicated to various Hindu gods, such as Lord Ganesha and Murugan.

Our tip: Visit the temple in the morning when it’s less crowded to enjoy the peace and the ornate details in peace. The temple is free to enter, but donations are welcome.

6. Bukit Bintang

Bukit Bintang is the pulsating heart of Kuala Lumpur and an absolute must for shopping, food and nightlife fans. You’ll find everything here: luxurious shopping centers like Pavilion KL or Starhill Gallery, affordable alternatives like Lot 10, and huge malls like Berjaya Times Square, where you can lose yourself for hours.

The streets are bustling with life, with hip cafés, restaurants, and street food stalls catering to every taste – the neighboring Jalan Alor is a particular highlight. More on that in a moment. In the evening, Bukit Bintang really comes alive. Bintang Walk becomes a vibrant pedestrian zone with colorful lights, street performers, and an atmosphere that will sweep you away.

For night owls, there are countless bars, clubs, and even rooftop venues like Heli Lounge Bar, where you can enjoy the breathtaking skyline with a drink. Visit Bukit Bintang in the afternoon to browse the shops, and stay until the evening to enjoy the special atmosphere and nightlife.

7. Jalan Alor – Food Street

Jalan Alor is the most famous food street in Kuala Lumpur and a paradise for anyone who loves street food! Located in the heart of the Bukit Bintang district, the street transforms into a bustling hub full of smells, colors, and flavors in the evening. Along Jalan Alor, countless food stalls and restaurants line the streets, offering everything Malaysian cuisine has to offer.

From satay skewers, fried noodles (char kway teow), and Hainanese chicken rice to exotic snacks like durian, you’ll find everything your heart desires here. In addition to Malaysian food, you’ll also find Chinese, Thai, and Indian food—perfect for sampling Kuala Lumpur’s diverse cuisines.

8. Kuala Lumpur Central Market

The Central Market in Kuala Lumpur is a real highlight for art, culture, and souvenirs. Here you can stroll through stalls selling traditional handicrafts, jewelry, clothing, and local specialties—perfect for a piece of Malaysia to take home.

The atmosphere is colorful and lively, especially outside on Kasturi Walk, where street food stalls and small shops create the typical market atmosphere. A special highlight are the handmade batik fabrics and the many small galleries on the upper floor.

Our tip: Come in the morning when it’s still quiet and take your time to discover the variety of stalls. There you can still buy “special things” and not just kitsch from China.

9. The Kasturi Walk

Right next to the Central Market in Kuala Lumpur is the colorful and lively Kasturi Walk. Here you’ll find a colorful mix of small stalls selling everything from souvenirs to local street food. The large covered entrance gate, shaped like a traditional Malaysian dragon fruit blossom, is particularly striking.

The atmosphere is lively and vibrant, perfect for sampling typical snacks like satay skewers, fried bananas, or fresh fruit juices. In addition to the food stalls, there are also shops with bags, accessories, and truly beautiful handicrafts!

10. Merdeka Square in Kuala Lumpur

The Dataran Merdeka Square, or Independence Square, is one of the most historic places in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia’s independence was proclaimed here in 1957, and since then the square has been a symbol of freedom and national pride. The large, open square with its green lawn is surrounded by impressive colonial architecture.

An eye-catcher is the 95-meter-high flagpole, which raises the Malaysian flag into the sky. Around the square are some of the city’s most important buildings, such as the magnificent Sultan Abdul Samad Building with its impressive facade, which is beautifully illuminated at night. It formerly served as an administrative building and is now a popular photo opportunity.

The National History Museum is also located here and offers fascinating insights into the city’s history and development. For a quiet break, the square with its green space offers the perfect contrast to the hustle and bustle of the big city – simply sit down, take a breath, and absorb the atmosphere.

11. Masjid Jamek Mosque

Behind the Sultan Abdul Samad Building is this truly beautiful mosque, which is the oldest in the entire city. You may also enter this mosque as a non-Muslim, as long as you wear appropriate clothing.

So avoid shorts, tops, backless clothing, and revealing too much skin. Research suggests you can even borrow headscarves at the entrance. Admission is free. Unfortunately, it was closed to tourists when we visited, but it looked very beautiful even from the outside.

12. National Mosque Masjid Negara

The National Mosque Masjid Negara is one of Malaysia’s most important religious landmarks and an impressive example of modern Islamic architecture. It is centrally located in Kuala Lumpur and impresses with its striking design, which combines tradition and modernity.

The mosque’s turquoise roof is particularly striking; it is shaped like a 16-pointed star and symbolically represents the 13 states of Malaysia and the religion of Islam. The slender, 73-meter-high minaret tower is another eye-catcher and dominates the city’s skyline.

The mosque can accommodate up to 15,000 worshippers and is surrounded by spacious gardens, providing a setting for peace and reflection. Visitors can visit the mosque outside of prayer times, but are advised to wear appropriate clothing. Robes and scarves are also provided on site.

13. Little India in Kuala Lumpur

Brickfields is the largest “Little India” in Kuala Lumpur and is located south of the city center. Here you can simply take the train to KL Sentral and then continue on foot. There are many shops, food stalls, and other businesses in Little India. Bollywood sounds are blaring from the speakers everywhere, and not exactly quietly.

Indians are known for their love of loud and shrill music – at least that was our impression. The area also smells completely different – so Indian. The street isn’t that long, so you can quickly walk up and down. All around are just business skyscrapers – a complete contrast. But Little India has established itself here; it feels at home here. Oh yes, and Little India is colorful too – very colorful!

14. The largest mall in the world

There are countless malls here in KL, some so huge that you’d almost get lost. We visited Berjaya Times Square, the largest shopping center in the world (along with the South China Mall). Three million visitors flock here every month to enjoy over 1,000 stores and 65 restaurants. This mall also houses Asia’s largest indoor amusement park.

You can even ride a roller coaster right in the middle of the mall—that’s crazy, isn’t it? You can buy a day pass or a ticket with three single rides. The mall was simply too big for us; we were completely overwhelmed by the abundance of choice and consumption. But it was still cool!

15. KL Forest Eco Park

A really great highlight in Kuala Lumpur is the KL Forest Eco Park, which is located right next to the KL Tower. This park is one of Malaysia’s oldest forest reserves and offers you the opportunity to explore a tropical rainforest without having to leave the city.

Among other things, you’ll find a 200-meter-long suspension bridge path that leads through the treetops at a height of 21 meters, offering impressive views of the city and the surrounding nature. The park is also home to over 200 tree species and numerous animal species, including silver leaf monkeys and various bird species.

Visitor Information – KL Forest Eco Park

• Address: Jalan Puncak, Kuala Lumpur
• Opening Hours: Daily from 8am – 5:30pm
• Entrance Fees: Adults 40 MYR, Children 5 MYR

16. Skybars & Rooftop Bars

Kuala Lumpur offers a great selection of sky bars and rooftop bars that offer breathtaking views of the skyline and the Petronas Towers. Here are some of the best locations you shouldn’t miss:

• Atmosphere 360: Restaurant on the TV tower, platform rotates!
• Sky51: Trendy rooftop bar with live music and open space

• Man Tao Bar: Infinity pool with a view of the KL Tower, KLCC Park & Skyline

17. Street Art in Shah Alam

About 25 kilometers south of Kuala Lumpur lies the city of Shah Alam, the capital of the Malaysian state of Selangor. There’s a small street here with plenty of street art. You can take the train from KL to Padang Jawa in Shah Alam. The journey takes about 40 minutes.

The Laman Seni is very well-known and not far from the train station. Afterwards, you can enjoy a cheap meal in one of the local restaurants. It’s not crazy, but it’s still quite nice to look at. Shah Alam is a good day trip destination for anyone staying in Kuala Lumpur for a longer period of time.

18. Batu Caves

Of course, a visit to the Batu Caves is a must. The Batu Caves are one of the most famous highlights in Kuala Lumpur and an absolute must-see. Even from afar, the giant golden statue of Lord Murugan, guarding the entrance to the limestone caves, is impressive.

After 272 colorful steps, you reach the main cave with its impressive temples and statues. The atmosphere is unique, especially during the Thaipusam festival. It’s best to visit early in the morning before the sun gets too hot, and keep an eye on your belongings – the cheeky monkeys are everywhere!

Visitor Information – Batu Caves:

• Arrival by Train: KTM Komuter – Batu Caves Line
• Opening Hours: Daily from 7 am to 9 pm
• Entry: Free for the Batu Caves
• Dress Code: Please no shorts, skirts, or dresses!!
• Prices: Dark Cave 35 MYR, Cave Villas 7 MYR, Ramayana Cave 5 MYR
• Tours: Book a half-day tour here*

19. Genting Highlands

The Genting Highlands are a popular day trip destination located just about an hour from Kuala Lumpur. At an altitude of around 1,800 meters, they offer a pleasantly cool respite from the city’s hot, tropical climate. Known as the “Las Vegas” of Malaysia, casinos, theme parks, shopping opportunities, and an impressive mountain backdrop await you here.

Our experience was mixed: Unfortunately, we were unlucky with the view, as it was rainy and cloudy on the day we visited. The casinos were also off-limits to us – apparently, casual chic isn’t enough. But the ride on the Awana SkyWay cable car was definitely a highlight. The view of the rainforest is impressive, and the ride itself is a cool experience.

The “Go Genting Express,” a bus that takes you directly to the Highlands, departs hourly from KL Sentral. A round-trip ticket including the cable car costs 40 MYR (book here). Allow plenty of time, as the buses are often fully booked – especially on weekends, they can get quite crowded. During the week, however, it’s more relaxed. Tip: Buy your tickets well in advance to avoid long waits.
