Tip For Travelling Kuala Lumpur Malaysia


Many visitors come to Kuala Lumpur and rapidly run out of ideas of what to do. Expats who temporarily work or permanently live in KL don't give plenty of praise except for the social scene and food. If you need transit hotel in Kuala Lumpur , please follow the there links



The reality is that Kuala Lumpur is a large city with overwhelming diversity. The main problem is spending minimal funds to travel around the big city. Besides, walking, the Hop-on and Hop-off bus is the most cost-efficient and encompassing means of seeing the highlights of KL. These include the Petronas Towers, the KL Tower, Chinatown near the Sri Mahamariamman Temple and the KL Bird Aviary. If you want to see more sites, the wait between buses can be longer than the 20-30 minutes depending on traffic, so it's wise to combine the bus with walking or the metro. It's best to ride before 4pm. Most locals are fluent in English as well as Bahasa Malaysia and maybe even a third or fourth language.

For nightlife, the Skybar offers more expensive drinks in exchange for indoor pools and spectacular views of the Petronas Towers in the evening. For those who want to try the local mamaks, they can find the mid-low prices available on Jalan Alor near Changkat. The dining experience in Kuala Lumpur provides an eclectic selection from all around the globe--it's rare to find such an authentic culinary experience in one city. Whether it's sashimi, pasta, curry and hummus or local nasi goreng, try various food and restaurants stalls for a rich foodie experience.

For those less interested in food or popular landmarks, trains and buses are cost-effective means of reaching neighboring cities and, further away, the jungles, beaches, and highlands for nature lovers.


Hints and Tips for Kuala Lumpur


Make sure you know whether you are arriving/departing from KLIA or LCCT airport as there are many stories of travellers missing flights because they go to the wrong terminal.

For KLIA transit hotel , here some useful links


Taxi's increase in cost in the evening by 50%. If the daytime cost for a fare was 10RM, the evening time cost will be 10 5=15RM. Try to get drivers to use the meter to receive a fair price.

Petty theft does occur. Common recommendations are for women to hold purses on the shoulder facing away from main roads, leaving passports and valuables safely locked away back at your accommodation, and being extra aware near motor bicyclists and crowds. Many travelers will keep a copy of their passport on their person.

Rain makes the streets (and especially the tiled sidewalks) slick. Sneakers tend to be the best footwear in wet weather.
