Kuala Lumpur Travel - 10 Essential Tips To Maximize Your Time and Money

kuala lumpur travel tips imagesKuala Lumpur (or KL for short) is an incredibly fascinating and diverse Asian city. However, without proper planning, your visit could be hampered by poor choices such as selecting the wrong hotels or tours. Knowing a few things can go a long way towards making your stay in KL pleasant and enjoyable.

Here are ten essential tips for planning your vacation to Kuala Lumpur.

  1. Plan your holiday early. Planning your trip at least 3 months in advance will give you ample time to prepare and search for the best deals and rates.
  2. When to travel? Try to travel during the low season. During the low season, most hotels in Kuala Lumpur will offer special discounts or room rates. You will also find it easier to move around the city or outside Kuala Lumpur because there will be fewer local tourists around.
  3. Book flights early. Low cost carriers and a few premier airlines will offer cheaper flight tickets if you make your bookings earlier.
  4. Book rooms online. Most hotels in Kuala Lumpur offer discounts if you make your room bookings online, especially if you do so through their online agents. Due to intense online competition, some agents are willing to lower their prices as long as they can increase their sales volume.
  5. Mode of transportation. An important factor that could affect your travel experience is the mode of transportation that you choose. Using public transportation such as buses or taxis will require a longer time to reach your destination. You will also need to take the weather into consideration as Kuala Lumpur is typically very hot and humid—with rain sometimes in the evening. In addition, some taxi drivers can be very choosy about the destination they are willing to drive to, and can be reluctant to use the meter (especially during peak hours). Hiring a knowledgeable private tour guide will shorten your travel time and ensure the smoothest and most comfortable journey possible. With a private tour guide, more time can be spent enjoying your favorite destinations in Kuala Lumpur, giving you the best value for your time and money.

Kuala Lumpur Attractions - from treks in deep nature to modern retail therapy

Like any major city, Kuala Lumpur has its fair share of attractions. Thanks to its wide variety of tourist attractions—from indoor to outdoor activities, and from modern urban attractions to adventures in deep nature—it’s not difficult to find activities and attractions that personally appeal to you.  

Given the many different attractions in Kuala Lumpur, it’s best to first decide which types of activities you’ll be most interested in, and then try to stick to a list—especially if you have limited time to explore the city.

If you’re a bird lover, you might consider spending a couple of hours at the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park. Here you can take a walk and view many different and exotic bird species. Marvel at the colorful and majestic peacocks that walk the grounds freely. While you can purchase food and drinks within the park, you can also bring along your own picnic lunch. Just be prepared for some birds to join you!

However, if the weather is too hot for a walk in the park and you’re in the mood for some culture, cool off in the Islamic Arts Museum instead. As the largest museum of Islamic art in Southeast Asia, this attraction houses a wide variety if Islamic artifacts and artwork ranging from jewelry, pottery and textiles to armory. The museum also organizes special events and exhibitions, so be sure to check the official site for the latest updates. Another bonus is that children younger than six years old get in free.

If you’re in the mood for some retail therapy, then Bukit Bintang is a must-see attraction. This busy street is dotted with shopping malls, great restaurants and hotels. This is also a great place to people-watch during the day or night as the street is filled with locals and tourists alike and is buzzing with life.  

If you prefer a more authentic and local flavor to your shopping excursions, visit the flea markets found in Jalan Masjid India (Little India) and Jalan Petaling (Chinatown) instead. In Jalan Masjid India, you’ll find a plethora of Indian goods on sale, such as brightly colored sarees and textiles as well as traditional gold jewelry. 

Meanwhile, Jalan Petaling offers a wider variety of cheap goods and local food. It is better by night when the stall lights are turned on, and is an excellent place to purchase low-priced souvenirs. You’ll also be able to bargain and negotiate with the friendly local sellers. With some luck, you just might find some unique and interesting items you can't find anywhere else.

While Kuala Lumpur has too many attractions to list them all here, no article on this city’s attractions would be complete without mentioning the Kanching Rainforest Waterfall.   Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and escape deep into nature by making your trek up the slopes. The scenic beauty of this nature reserve explains why this spot is a favorite among the locals. On your way up, you can take a refreshing soak in four waterfalls, each one located at a different height.

If you have the stamina, try to make it up to the fourth and largest waterfall as the crowd will have significantly thinned out there—allowing you to truly relax and rejuvenate yourself before continuing on your adventure in discovering more of Kuala Lumpur’s amazing attractions.

 

 

 

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - a vibrant and diverse city

Visit any city for the first time, and within minutes you’ll get a feel for its pulse just by walking its streets and watching its people go about their day-to-day lives. Upon arriving in Kuala Lumpur, the first thing you’ll probably notice is the people of all different races and nationalities living and working together. Malaysia has a population of 28.3 million people, and its capital Kuala Lumpur is its largest city with approximately 1.8 million people.

In Kuala Lumpur, you’re likely to hear a mix of different Asian languages being spoken, such as Malay (the national language), Chinese and Tamil. This is because the city’s population is made up of several dominant races including Malays, Chinese and Indians. While the local dialects are often used, there’s no need to worry if you need to ask for directions in Kuala Lumpur as most people living there also speaks English well and are very friendly and helpful to tourists. Many public and commercial signs throughout Kuala Lumpur are also written in English.

The Malay population forms the majority race in Malaysia, and it has the strongest influence on the country’s cultural, social and political aspects. The Chinese are the second-largest race, and form the country’s commercial and business backbone. Because of this, many Chinese reside in Kuala Lumpur—as it is Malaysia’s financial and commercial centre. The Indians are the third-largest race and as many are also involved in Malaysia’s business sector, there is a significant Indian population living in Kuala Lumpur. One of the best things about Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia is really something which the local population takes for granted—that it is a melting pot of different races living together in relative peace and religious harmony.

While Islam is Malaysia’s official religion and counts the most number of followers among its population, the country is really a multi-religious one with several other religions being widely practiced. These include Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, and Chinese religions such as Confucianism and Taoism.

This diverse population that call Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia home also celebrate their own religious and cultural festivals in a big way—and over the years, these colorful and vibrant festivals have grown to become regular tourist attractions on their own.

Among the major festivals celebrated in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia are Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, Thaipusam, Deepavali, Chinese New Year, the Mid-Autumn Festival and Christmas. Do note that the dates for some religious festivals vary slightly each year, so it’s a good idea to check the latest official information before planning your trip to Kuala Lumpur. Also be sure to pack a good camera as some of the sights you’ll see—such as the vel kavadi during Thaipusam—are so unique you’ll want to capture them forever.

 

 

 

Visiting Kuala Lumpur Petronas Twin Towers

If you’re traveling to Kuala Lumpur, be sure to add a visit to the Kuala Lumpur Petronas Twin Towers to your itinerary. The Twin Towers—as they’re known locally—are one of the tallest buildings in the world. A unique aspect of the Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers is that its design is influenced by the geometric principles unique to Islamic architecture. Taking seven years to build, each tower has 88 floors.

About halfway up, a skybridge connects the two towers. If you plan to see the view from the skybridge, take note that tickets are free and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. On busy days, they can finish quickly, so it’s best to arrive in the morning to collect your ticket (note: visiting hours are from 9am – 5pm and the skybridge is closed on Mondays).

While the Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers primarily house business offices on the upper floors, there is also a large luxury shopping mall at the bottom known as Suria KLCC. Home to many high-end designer brands, the mall is a shopping haven for tourists and locals alike. When you need a break from shopping, catch a movie at the cinema located on the third floor. There is also a wide variety of food to suit your budget and tastes as the mall has a large food court as well as many restaurants and cafes.

But it’s not all about shopping and eating in the Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers. While you’re there, you can also get a dose of art and culture by visiting the Galeri Petronas, a leading art gallery which showcases both local and foreign artwork.

If music is more to your liking, take in a performance at the concert hall, home to the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. Children and those young at heart will also enjoy a visit to the Science Discovery Centre on the third floor.

As the sun sets after your busy day, it’s time to step outside to take in the view. This is because night time is probably the best time to view the Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers. Against the dark backdrop of the night sky, the two towers make an awe-inspiring sight to behold as they are lit up like Christmas trees after dusk.

 If you walk over to the KLCC Park located at the base of the Twin Towers, there will be one last spectacle to feast your eyes on—dancing fountains. Called Lake Symphony, these water fountains dance playfully accompanied by a light show, ending your visit to the Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers on a high note. In fact, don’t be surprised if you find yourself asking when you can come back again!
