I am spending 3 days in Kuala Lumpur what should I do? |
Travel Info My 15 year old daughter and myslef (mother) are spending 3 days in Kuala Lumpur does anyone have any suggestions of things we should or shouldn't do, getting around, eating places, sights and experiences. Travel Tips So much to do, so little time! For sightseeing - KLCC, otherwise known as the Petronas Towers. KLCC is the shopping centre on the first few floors of the building. Loads of super posh shops, like Gucci and stuff. There鈥檚 a big park at the back of KLCC and it's nice to sit outside with an iced coffee and watch the world go by. - If you turn up at about 8am, they have tours up the towers, but you have to get there that early to get tickets. - There鈥檚 also a supermarket on the bottom floor and you can stock up with European food or whatever! - The KL Tower has a rotating restaurant with fab views. The food isn't the best, but it's worth a look. - Bukit Bintang 鈥?literally translated, this means Star Hill. One of the main smart shopping areas of KL. You鈥檒l find your Starbucks and Planet Hollywood round here. There are loads of malls round here. Sungei Wan is one of the shopping centres and it鈥檚 pretty good for cheap electronics. Lot 10 is good for clothes. - Chinatown 鈥?Jalan Petaling 鈥?great for dvd鈥檚, rip off stuff and all sorts of bits and pieces. Wear a money belt and leave all valuables at the hotel. - The National Mosque 鈥?stunning and definitely worth a look. It's important to dress appropriately, though. - If you want a colonial treat, go to the Carcosa Seri Negara for high tea. It鈥檚 the poshest hotel in KL, and it鈥檚 by the lake, bird and flower gardens. It鈥檚 an old colonial mansion, and there aren鈥檛 many left in that neck of the woods. - Central Market 鈥?a bit touristy but worth a look. A traditional old market building that has been turned into a tourist market 鈥?some coolish stuff, though. -The old train station and Merdeka (Independence) Square. May sound a bit odd, but the architecture is amazing. For food: - Bangsar 鈥?it鈥檚 a suburb about 20 mins by cab from the Golden Triangle area, but I鈥檇 recommend it above anywhere else for an evening out. There are loads of fantastic restaurants such as the Telawi Street Bistro or Alexis (which does fantastic cheesecake). - If you happen to be there on a Sunday, you鈥檙e in luck because that鈥檚 the night market and you can get all sorts of things there 鈥?dvd鈥檚, local food and fruit, clothes鈥?everything! - Night markets off Bukit Bintang for local food - it's fantastically yummy and a bit of an adventure. Try the satay and see how it's really meant to taste. -Qba at the Westin does some very tasty tapas and the salsa dancing is great. -Sandias in Damansara - you probably don't go to KL to eat Mexican food, but if you feel the urge, this little restaurant is fantastic. Hope you have a great time. KL is an amazing city, very friendly and fairly cheap - I hope you like it as much as I do. Source(s): Used to live in KL, love it there and visit at least once a year.
