How to make the best of 3 days in Kuala Lumpur? |
Travel Info Where to go...what to do? 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. Others twin tower is a must...visit china town, its interesting...I do not recommend going to the Dudhist temple (a looooot of steps to get up there, and not so clean!)...near the Hardrock cafe there is a good number of nice night clubs, but have to make reservation...and its worth spending a day at the Sunway Lagoon Resort (swiming, shoping, dinning) If you go with family,friends and maybe your partner or bf/gf: 1. Suria,KLCC- shopping,picnicking 2.Petrosains,KLCC-explore the sciences and experience the greatest technology. 3.Kampung Baru-finest cuisine 4.Aquaria,KLCC-aquarium visit 5.Mid Valley Megamall,Bangsar-shopping 6.Star Hill-cuisine,shopping,relaxing 7.National Museum 8.Titiwangsa Lake (Taman Tasik Titiwangsa)-EYE ON MALAYSIA,Spectacular Water Presentations,jogging,picnicki... at Nelayan Restaurant. 9.National Arts Gallery 10.National Islamic Arts Museum 11.Dataran Merdeka-relaxing 12.Central Market (Pasar Seni)-shopping the antic's goodies 13.KL Central-cuisine 14.Kampung Orang Asli,Gombak-home stay with aborigine 15.Star walk,Bukit Bintang-cuisine 16.Pudu jail-experince and knowing the situation in jail 17.Chow Kit Road-shopping (cheepest price) 18.Petaling Street-shoppping 19.Uptown-shopping 20.Jalan Tun Abdul Rahman-shopping (got Sogo and Pertama mall) Actually, lots of places...I just can list only 20...Hope it may help you |
