The travel guide to Kuala Lumpur

Discover Kuala Lumpur – the Heart of Southeast Asia 🇲🇾

Kuala Lumpur, often called KL, is the vibrant heart of Southeast Asia. It’s hard to believe how young this city actually is — in just a few decades, it transformed from a small village into a modern metropolis. KL is energetic, colorful, full of contrasts: futuristic skyscrapers rise next to historic temples, and the aroma of street food mingles with the buzz of the city.

During our two-week journey through West Malaysia — in collaboration with Pangea Travel and The Tourism Board of Malaysia — we explore the very best this country has to offer. Our first stop: Kuala Lumpur!

 

Here we visit the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, Independence Square, Kampung Baru, and beautiful mosques and temples that reflect the country’s multicultural soul. We even hop on a bike with MikeBikes, a Dutch company offering an unforgettable cycling experience through this fascinating city.

 

We stayed in a fantastic hotel in the middle of Kuala Lumpur with a stunning view from the room and roof top swimming pool.

 

After Kuala Lumpur, our adventure continues to Taman Negara, Cameron Highlands, Penang and Langkawi — the perfect mix of nature, culture, and paradise beaches.

🎥 In our video, we show you all the top things to do in Kuala Lumpur and why this city is an unmissable stop on your Malaysia itinerary!
