Kuala Lumpur – also known as KL – is where ‘Old’ meets ‘New’. A hybrid of traditional and modern, home to glitzy skyscrapers, colonial architecture and spice-scented markets.

As you explore the city, you’ll feel like you’re taking a tour of the world. Browse the colourful shops of Little India, sample the dishes in Chinatown, and admire the Moorish architecture in Merdeka Square.

Towering above the city – serving as a constant reminder that KL is an ultra-modern city – are the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. No trip to Kuala Lumpur would be complete without walking across the towers’ Skybridge, where you’ll have panoramic views over the city below.
