How it works
Essential city info, articles & travel tips from our local hosts
With its steel-and-glass skyline, food stall-lined streets, and landmarks harking back to its British colonial history, Malaysia’s capital has many faces. Kuala Lumpur is without a doubt a modern marvel, where mega-sized malls and the iconic Petronas Towers feel like something from a sci-fi scene. But it’s also a cultural gem, home to Malay, Indian, Chinese, and Western communities that have introduced their own diverse contributions: colorful mosques, buzzing local markets, and delicious-smelling hawker stalls selling street food from all over Asia. This easy blend of contemporary big-city life and homegrown heritage make it difficult to believe that just 200 years ago, the area was nothing more than a tropical rainforest. But this leafy lushness still shades the city today. Some of the best things to do in Kuala Lumpur are away from the city center, in amongst the trees and caves and high-altitude villages that house some of the most spectacular natural attractions in the world.
