More than any other spot in the country, Kuala Lumpur, or "KL" as it is commonly known, is the focal point of new Malaysia. The city brings together Malaysia's past and present, its many constituent cultures, and even its remarkable natural treasures, allowing first-time visitors an invaluable opportunity to see Malaysia as a whole before setting off to explore its parts.

KL has a lively nightlife scene and a fascinating art and performance culture, which blends contemporary and traditional styles from many backgrounds. There is the widest range of sporting activities available with state-of -the-art facilities to impress any sporting enthusiast. The architecture is somewhat eccentric and is certainly unique, from hundred year old mansions to awe-inspiring sky scrapers, and all within metres of each other.

With a height of 1,453 feet, one of the world's tallest buildings rise above the skyline of Kuala Lumpur. They are called the Petronas Towers, and, inevitably, they have become the symbols for the astounding growth that has taken place in Malaysia over the last two decades.


Getting There

Kuala Lumpur is strategically similar to the transportation hub that Singapore or even Bangkok is, and it is easy to get to, especially from neighboring countries. Naturally, you can fly to the city, but there are a couple of other interesting options worth considering.Air travel is the natural choice to get to Kuala Lumpur. The national carrier, Malaysia Air System, flies between the capital and most major cities around the world. Most regional carriers also fly into KL.

By Road, it can be easily accessed by train from either Singapore or Thailand. Malaysian Rail has daily trains traveling up and down the entire length of the peninsula. The city's Sentral terminal also services as the city's main train station. Another option would be the bus service which has some excellent services between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur that offer a level of comfort that can even out-do first class air flight. Check out Plus Liner or Konsortium for more information.

Visa Requirements

One must have a valid passport or internationally recognised travel document which is valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry to Malaysia. Depending on your nationality, you may be required to apply for a visa in advance to enter Malaysia at Malaysian Embassy or representative at your country of origin. Visa On Arrival can also be given to tourists who qualify and is given at certain international airports in Malaysia
