I be travelling from Perth to KL and staying for 3 and 1/2 weeks during end of Oct, Can anyone? |
Travel Info suggest what I can do. Somewhere that we can do things as a families ect... There is two adults and one 2 year old. Can anyone suggest anywhere to go to visit and shopping ect. Main things I want to buy (music CD, DVD, Clothes, shoes, soccer gear). Travel Tips 3 1/2 weeks in KL is a long time. I travel to KL very regularly, I love the city and have a large number of friends there, but even I would struggle to fill that amount of time. I would definitely suggest spending some time at one of Malaysia's fab beach resorts. But while you are in KL, try the following: -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. -Midvalley Megamall is also pretty good for shopping, but you won't find much there that you can't find at home. - 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. Even if you don't want to go to the hotel, the gardens are beautiful and worth a look. -Batu Caves - a Hindu holy site and tourist attraction a little out of town. - 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 a family day out, you could try Sunway Lagoon, a waterpark just outside of town. -There's an sports clothes factory outlet just near KLCC and Jalan P Ramlee where you can pick up bargains including Adidas. For Entertainment: - 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), and cheaper options too. -For more kid-friendly, generic places, there is a TGIF not far from Bukit Bintang, numerous McDonalds and Pizza Huts, Chilis (one in KLCC), Victoria Station Steak House on Jalan Ampang. - 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. If you do decide to spend some time at the Beach, you can try Penang. t's very touristy and busy, lots of nightlife, restaurants, food markets etc and big sky scraper hotels. You can also visit the Snake Temple, the Butterfly Farm or take the funi up Penang Hill for the views. The night markets are pretty impressive too. Hotels there include the Shangri-La Rasa Sayang, which is a lovely hotel with superb facilities - restaurant, bar, pool etc. For a cheaper option, you can look at the Lone Pine Hotel, which is a fab boutique hotel. However, I prefer Langkawi - the Island of Gods and Legends (don't you just love that!). It's a less touristy, quieter version of Penang. Fab beaches, and if you stay close to town - the Pelangi Beach, the Holiday Villas etc - there's more than enough to keep you entertained. The island is absolutely stunning and there are hundreds of deserted islands dotting the area - you can take a day trip out to one of these and just chill - it's fab. Try Bon Ton for a really good meal - there's a nice bar there too. It's also worth taking a trip up the cable car - the views are fantastic! Source(s): Lived in KL - love it!
