See and Do in Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur has a host of extra-curricular activities for those enjoying expat life in the city. Walking or driving through the city will reveal beautiful colonial architecture and heritage buildings beside towering skyscrapers and modern architecture.
The National Museum is a great starting point for expats wishing to learn more about the culture and heritage of their new home.
The Petronas Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004 and offer spectacular views of the city as well as great shopping opportunities at the base.
The city's mosques are both breathtaking and awe inspiring. With their intricate carvings and peaceful settings, Masjid Negara Mosque and Masjid Jamek (Friday Mosque) should definitely be on any ‘to do’ list. The KL Railway Station is a perfect architectural example of east meets west.
Catching a train or bus to Taman Negara is recommended for hikers and nature lovers keen to experience some of the oldest rainforests in the world. Trekking, rafting, fishing, bird watching and climbing (the Peninsula’s highest mountain: Gunung Tahan) are all great options for a family wishing to spend a weekend away from the city.
Another great weekend getaway is the Cameron Highlands, which offers cooler mountain weather and great strolls through the country’s oldest tea plantations surrounded by rainforests and jungle scenery.
