What to do in KL

KL is the capital city of multi- cultural country, Malaysia. Skyscrapers on the one side and shopping malls on the other. Famous for its street foods all over the world. Unlike other Asian countries, Kuala Lumpur is something different. It has its own night life. Local people are really good and always ready to help travelers. City sleeps only at 3am. Tourism plays an important role in city’s service-driven economy. It is the sixth most visited city in the world. Moving in the city is really comfortable for tourist.

If you are staying in Puduraya or Buket Bintang, the whole city is walkable. All the places are well connected by Bus and train. Driving in the city can be adventures due to pathetic traffic ( you are not used to it).

Golden Triangle is the most amazing and centered place in KL. It is called golden triangle- KL towers and PETRONAS on one side and Berjaya Times Square on the other side. These are the tourist centered places.
