    It’s a must see – the views are great, the process is slick and at evening its even better in the lights. Go around 7pm, sunset time, then spend some afterwards marvelling at its architecture under the amazing lights.

    Nice for a wander round in the sun, offers some respite with shade from the sun. Fab views of rhe skyline including the towers. Also liked the fact that there were multiple water drinking stations for free throughout the park.

    Upscale luxury mall with many of the most expensive international brands. 5 mins walk from MRT and monorel stations on Bukit Bintang (the luxury area of KL city centre)
    Beautifully laid out, spotless and calm. Some lovely restaurants and 5* cafes for an elevated experience, particularly useful if it is super hot outside and you want to cool off for a while.
    Basement food court is the place to go - amazing range of very high quality food stalls and kept spotlessly clean. I would recommend as a way to introduce yourself to the various cuisines of Malaysia.

    This is a must visit if you’re interested in art.
    The museum was beautifully curated with jewellery, weapons, textiles, books and ceramics among others, beautifully laid out in large spacious rooms.
    Really good detailed information in English as well.
    The highlight was the special calligraphy exhibition which currently occupies the first 2 floors, one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.
    The shop is lovely too.. shame I didn’t have space in my luggage as I could have happily purchased half the shop!!!

    We visited the tower as part of an overall excursion, to make sure we did the Batu caves as well. Its not quite as iconic as Petronas but still offers some fantastic views. You can see Petronas from the observation deck, but only at an angle. It offers fantastic views all around and is well worth a visit. Tickets are probably to be booked in advance, it was fairly busy but minutes not hours to wait.

    Hidden Gem in KL. The art work is extraordinary. They also have a light show every 20 mins which is enjoyable. My 8 year old thorough enjoyed it.

    I knew coming here, it would not be a match to Bird Paradise in Singapore. But i enjoyed it nonetheless. Birds are free to fly around. There are tons of peacocks wandering about, but it must have been molting season as the peacocks were dropping their feathers. The weather was incredibly hot in early April, we had gone morning when to be done by noon . You can walk under the shade of the trees which were plenty.

    The only negative is that we noticed holes in the nets in some areas which would enable birds to either escape or enter the aviary. It does look run down in some parts. The ostrich section was abit sad, vegetables were left in a basket so visitors could feed it, there was no one manning the place.

    Crazy busy market full of food the whole street is full of vendors pushing menus into your faces. If your foodie then it's good for you if not there's nothing else to see

    Huge mall!
    A lot of high end stores. Not for the budget traveller, but still some options for them also. Nice looking mall. Plenty of places to eat. Next to KLCC PARK and right under the Petronas towers.

    Well worth a visit and a spectacular building with great views. You can wander freely around, it was not too crowded and peaceful when we visited late afternoon.
