Unmissable things to do in Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia

This is our 1st day in KL, after we take our breakfast at the hotel, we can go around the city. We'll visit the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia, then National Mosque of Malaysia. After that we can visit the parks at the city or any nearby places upon request. The evening can be spent at a very nice place in Town where we can have our dinner. This white, mosque style building offers several floors displaying artefacts of Islamic history across the world, and in Malaysia. One whole section has models of mosques in different parts of the world, explaining the main styles. Clothing, korans, script, and the building itself are a triumph of respect and pride. Fascinating. Even for a non-believer.

The National Mosque of Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur is an important place of worship for the local Muslim community. The mosque's stunning design was influenced by the Grand Mosque in Mecca, with a towering 73-metre minaret and an umbrella-shaped main dome covered with thousands of green and blue tiles. You are welcome to visit the mosque and its lovely surrounding gardens outside of prayer times. Note that non-worshippers are not permitted to enter the worship hall. Also, dress appropriately when visiting – head coverings and robes are provided at the mosque if needed.

This is our second day In Kuala Lumpur. After we take the breakfast at our hotel, we'll check the towers of the city, take pictures. In the evening we can visit food street in KL. Menara Kuala Lumpur (KL Tower) soars above KL Eco City Park at 421 metres. Aside from being one of the tallest freestanding towers in the world, it's also an important architectural marker in the city. Boasting spectacular views of Kuala Lumpur, the viewing deck is at least 100 metres higher than the Petronas Tower’s Skybridge.

The tallest twin towers in the world, the Petronas reach an impressive 452 meters high up into the clouds. The towers are 88 floors tall and have an impressive total of 76 elevators. Built using reinforced concrete, steel, and glass, the two towers are connected to each other by a double skybridge on the 41st and 42nd floors. Visitors can make their way up here for stunning views of KL and the 6.9-hectare KLCC Park below-the views are particularly impressive at night. While most of the floors on the towers are rented to companies-IBM, Microsoft, and Huawei Technologies all have offices here-the bottom floors of the towers are reserved for Suria KLCC, one of the largest shopping centers in Malaysia. With over 300 stores, an art gallery, and even space for a Philharmonic Hall, this retail and entertainment space will keep visitors occupied for hours.

This is our 3rd day in KL: We'll visit Royal Selangor Visitor Centre and Batu Caves. Royal Selangor Visitor Centre is the go-to place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to experience pewter, both as a beautiful piece to be admired and as a craft. Wander through intriguing museum exhibits and witness real-time pewter crafting, and end your tour with hands-on pewtersmithing workshops. Royal Selangor Visitor Centre is recognised as one of the top tourist attractions in Kuala Lumpur.

Batu Caves is a 400 million-year-old limestone hill with a 100-year-old temple incorporated within it. It's best known as the focal point of the annual Hindu festival of Thaipusam. The celebration attracts thousands of visitors who come to see the colourful spectacle of devotees who pay homage by carrying ornately-decorated kavadis (frameworks) combined with various metal hooks and skewers, which are used to pierce the skin, cheeks and tongue. Batu Caves is in Gombak, around 13 km north of Kuala Lumpur. You can take the Intrakota bus No 11D from the Central Market or the Cityliner bus No 69 at Jalan Pudu to get to the caves. Taxis are available anywhere around the city.

This is our 4th day in KL. After we take our breakfast, the driver with tour guide will pick us at the hotel to take us for a nice tour to Cameron Highlands. A stunningly emerald green hill station, the Cameron Highlands cover an area of over 712 square kilometers. The main attraction here is the tea estates, a legacy from British colonial times. The area, however, also offers orchards; lavender farms; and plenty of opportunities to hike through the local mossy forest to reach aboriginal villages, waterfalls, and lakes. Both locals and visitors head here to enjoy the cooler climate and experience a true high-tea experience in places like the Boh Sungei Palas Tea Estate, where you can not only tour the plantation but also see the tea-making process, sit at the café, and stock up on goodies at the gift shop. The Cameron Highlands area is also the native domain of the Rafflesia, the largest individual flower on Earth, which grows directly on the ground and can reach a diameter of over 100 centimeters.
