Petronas Twin Towers
The Petronas Twin Towers are an ideal place for a spectacular selfie. The Towers are justifiably considered a highlight of a trip to Kuala Lumpur, as they present an opportunity to marvel at the city’s skyline and capture unforgettable moments on camera.
Dataran Merdeka
You will then head to the Merdeka Square (also known as Independent Square) where you can relax in the cool breeze, take photos, and see the surrounding buildings such as the Sultan Abdul Samad Building.
National Mosque (Masjid Negara)
The National Mosque of Malaysia is a mosque in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It has a capacity for 15,000 people and is situated among 13 acres (53,000 m2) of gardens. The mosque is a bold and modern approach in reinforced concrete, symbolic of the aspirations of a then newly independent Malaysia.
National Monument
Visit National Monument that has exhibits of local history, culture and traditions, arts and crafts and a great bronze sculpture erected to commemorate the soldiers who lost their lives during World War II and the Emergency.
Taman Orkid Kuala Lumpur
Visit the Taman Orchid Gardens and enjoy a moment away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Istana Negara
The Malaysian equivalent to Buckingham Palace, Royal King's Palace (Istana Negara) attracts thousands of visitors with its golden domes and Islamic-style architecture. Although you can’t explore the palace, you can learn about the Malaysian monarchy.

Half Day Heaven
We had Ayyanar as our driver who was excellent. Very knowledgeable and accommodating, ensuring we saw all the major sites and helped out with guidance, information and some very good photography along the way. I recommend this trip if you are short on time and want to see a bit more of the city.

Great day in Kuala Lumpur filled with laughter and fun. Ask for Jennifer.
Jennifer was fabulous. She was knowledgeable, a great driver and made it all FUN. She speaks multiple languages and English is her first language despite being born and raised in Malaysia. We learned so much about Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia. Thank you a fun, laughter filled memory producing day.
