Highlights

Batu Caves - Batu Caves is a renowned and popular tourist destination in Selangor. Home to a Hindu temple and shrine, Batu Caves draws thousands of worshipers and tourists. This limestone hill, located just north of Kuala Lumpur, features three main caves with temples and Hindu shrines. The main highlight is the large statue of a Hindu deity at the entrance, along with a steep 272-step climb to view the breathtaking city skyline. Monkeys play around the caves, making it a favorite spot for rock climbing enthusiasts. The caves also showcase paintings and scenes of Hindu gods.
Petronas Twin Towers - Standing at 451.9 meters, the magnificent Petronas Twin Towers are a globally recognized symbol of modern Malaysia. They are the centerpiece of the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) development, which includes landmarks like the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Suria KLCC Shopping Mall, luxury hotels, a mosque, and the beautifully landscaped KLCC Park. Visitors can explore the Skybridge on the 41st floor and the viewing deck on the 86th floor.
KLCC Park - KLCC Park is an urban park located in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Malaysia. It was designed to provide greenery to the Petronas Twin Towers and the surrounding areas.
Royal Selangor Visitor Centre - The Visitor Centre takes you back over a century to the founding of Royal Selangor and its deep connection to Malaysia’s history. Through complimentary guided tours, visitors can learn about the significant development of tin mining in the Malay Peninsula in the 1800s and view traditional pewtersmithing tools, antique pewter, and ancient tin currency at the Centre’s Pewter Museum.
Menara Kuala Lumpur - Standing majestically atop Bukit Nanas at 421 meters and 94 meters above sea level, KL Tower is a prominent feature of the city’s skyline. Its architecture reflects the country’s Islamic heritage, with construction details including Arabic scripts, Islamic tiles, classic Islamic floral and abstract motifs, and soothing color combinations.
East Coast Batik Sdn Bhd (Batik CHONG) - Established in 1974, East Coast Batik (914804-X) (formerly Syarikat East Coast) is one of the oldest batik and handicrafts centers in Klang Valley. A visit to the gallery reveals that batik is more than just a cloth with elaborate designs. Syarikat East Coast is the place to visit for a comprehensive experience in Malaysian batik and handicrafts.
Istana Negara - Istana Negara, or the National Palace, is the official residence of the King of Malaysia. This majestic building, located on Jalan Duta, officially became the National Palace in November 2011, replacing the old palace on Jalan Istana. It features 22 domes, with the largest dome reaching up to 40 meters in height. Note: Visits are limited to the exterior.
National Monument - The National Monument was built to honor those who sacrificed their lives for peace and freedom, especially during the nation’s struggle against communism. The grounds feature one of the world’s largest free-standing bronze sculptures, created in 1966 by Felix de Weldon, who also sculpted the famous Iwo Jima Monument in Washington, D.C.
Kuala Lumpur City Gallery - Founded in 1989, KL City Gallery occupies a building that has seen various uses and occupants since it ceased to be a printing office. Tenants have included the Ministry of Labour and the Postal Authorities. The building now houses two floors of exhibition space, a cafe, a museum shop, and serves as a tourist information center.
The River of Life - The River of Life is a notable attraction in Kuala Lumpur, located near the Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad, the city’s oldest mosque. It is the convergence point of the Klang River and the Gombak River.
Sri Maha Mariamman Temple - This stunning Hindu temple is one of the oldest and features a magnificent 22-meter-high gate tower and portico adorned with intricately carved images of Hindu deities. Inside, the deities of the Hindu goddess Maha Mariamman are embellished with gold and precious stones. The area is filled with the sights and sounds of peddlers selling jasmine garlands and aromatic incense filling the air.
Merdeka Square - Merdeka Square is located directly opposite the Sultan Abdul Samad Building and next to the Royal Selangor Club. This historic site is where the Union Flag was lowered, and the Malayan Flag was raised for the first time at midnight on August 31, 1957. Since then, Merdeka Square has been the venue for the annual Merdeka Parade.
Sultan Abdul Samad Building - The iconic Sultan Abdul Samad Building is situated in front of Dataran Merdeka. This historic building houses the Supreme and High Courts. Its unique Moorish design and clock tower make it a widely photographed landmark in the city center.
Thean Hou Temple - Thean Hou Temple, built between 1981 and 1987, may not be old, but its traditional ornate decorative facade conceals a modern structure. The large temple spans six tiers and is managed by Malaysia’s Hainanese community, descendants of sea-faring fisherfolk from Hainan Island, China.
Malayan Railway Administration Building - One of Malaysia’s most beautiful old buildings, the Railway Station and Administration Building is a stunning example of Moorish architecture.
National Mosque (Masjid Negara) - Masjid Negara is one of the city’s most distinguished landmarks, featuring a unique star-shaped dome and a 73-meter-high minaret. The National Mosque is located on the edge of the KL Lake Gardens. Visitors are advised to dress appropriately, and women are required to wear headscarves.
Music Museum - Brickfields began as the center of brick-making in the late 19th century after a massive fire and flood swept through Kuala Lumpur in 1881. The double disasters destroyed the town’s wooden and thatched structures. Sir Frank Swettenham, the British Resident at the time, responded by mandating the use of brick and tile in building construction, thus defining the town’s purpose.
