Think about a city, its sky-touching buildings, impressive tombs, beautiful minarets and colourful streets lined up with the food stalls.

Have you any idea, No? I am talking about Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia a hot capital packed with chronological tombstones, steel-clad skyscrapers, green parks, huge shopping malls, busy street markets and fashionable nightspots. As well an important portion of the great mix is colourfully decorated mosques and temples of the nation’s various communities. A respect for these oldest cultures is balanced with a drive to be plugged into the contemporary world, as evidenced by an exciting contemporary art and design scene and a buzzing digital economy.

Petronas Tower

These glittering stainless steel-clad towers have the offices of the national oil and gas company Petronas. Looks alike silver rockets positioned to fly, they are the best symbol of the dramatic development of the city. If you want to enter into the towers, buy tickets which you can get since 7 AM in the morning. You can get it in advance.

Considered as the seventh tallest towers in the world, it is opened in 1998. This 88 storey building is 452m tall. Smartly designed by Argentinean architect “Cesar Pelli”, the structure is influenced by Islam. The first tower is fully engaged by the Malaysian oil company Petronas and its associate companies, the second tower are engaged by international companies for example – Accenture, Al-Jazeera, Boeing, IBM and others.

Menara KL Tower

Menara KL Tower is simply a Malaysia’s most identical and well-known highlight. Built in 19th century, the tower is 421m high and offers you the most stunning sight of the town. This wonderful tower is noticeable from any part of the city. The sight is marvellous at the time of the day and glittering at night when you can see the whole gleaming city centre.

Batu Caves

Batu Caves is the most exciting sight of the city and century old limestone hill, popular as the focal point of the annual Hindu Festival of Thaipusam. The festival attracts a number of travellers who come to enjoy and celebrate it with locals.

Aquaria

Spread in huge area, this beautiful marine life gallery is a home of the many underwater species. It gives you an idea about the marine life and beyond its gallon of water filled with sea creatures; this is the foremost attractions of the city to spend your quality time.

Chinatown

The lively Chinatown is a popular marketing paradise that seems never stops. Deeply rooted in Chinese culture, inheritance and golden times, it is certainly one of the best travel sights in Malaysia.
