A Kuala Lumpur holiday promises visitors a contemporary city break packed with colour, culture and incredible cuisine. Kuala Lumpur’s popularity has increased in recent decades – from a convenient place to spend a few days to break up a long flight to a holiday-worthy destination in its own right. Stroll around the city and you’ll soon find yourself at one of KL’s landmarks. Visit Independence Square (Merdeka Square), the bustling Central Market, or the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. The Petronas Towers are perhaps the most recognisable image of Kuala Lumpur, and visitors have the chance to scale the 88-storey towers and view the city below from the Observation Deck and the sky deck connecting the identical towers. KLCC park below is a stunning green space sanctuary, and well worth a visit to see the Lake Symphony music and light show in the evenings. Families will enjoy Sunway Lagoon, a huge amusement park with rides and attractions for people of all ages. Venture outside of KL and visit the Batu Caves, a Hindu temple carved out of the limestone hills of Gombak. Pilgrims and Instagrammers are drawn to the Batu Caves for the colourful stairway, giant gold Murugan Statue, and heritage listed caves. KL is well connected to the rest of Malaysia, with regular flights, buses and trains from the capital to Langkawi, Penang and Malaysian Borneo. Kuala Lumpur cannot be missed!
