Kuala Lumpur City

Home to the world famous Petronas Twin Towers rising 1,453 feet, Kuala Lumpur is situated midway along the west coast of Malaysia, approximately 35km from the coast, with a population of over one and a half million people. Any visitor to Kuala Lumpur cannot fail to notice the contrast between the old and the new in the city. From the King’s Palace, the National Museum and the superb buildings at Datran Merdeka (Independence Square)...the architecture ranges from historical Moorish to modern skyscrapers. A visit to a local handicraft centre and a photo stop at the magnificent Petronas Towers completes any visit to Kuala Lumpur. The best way to get around Kuala Lumpur is by foot, savouring the sights, sounds and smells of this colourful city.
