Why you'll love it
Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia's capital, a modern city where Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures meet in its food, temples and markets. It scores 9 out of 10 for food and value, and 8 for nightlife and safety, so it's a great-value city break or stopover.
The best time to visit Kuala Lumpur is May to July, usually the driest time of year. It's hot and humid year-round, with short afternoon storms common, and October to November is typically the wettest stretch.
See the Petronas Twin Towers and walk across their skybridge, then climb the colourful stairs to the Batu Caves temple. Eat your way along Jalan Alor at night, and explore Chinatown's Petaling Street and the shops of Bukit Bintang. The forested KL Tower area and the Perdana Botanical Garden offer green space.
Kuala Lumpur suits food lovers, budget travellers and stopover visitors.
