Tourist attractions
Your trip to Kuala Lumpur wouldn’t be complete without seeing the manmade spectacle of the Petronas Towers. These twin skyscrapers were the tallest buildings in the world at the turn of the 21st century, and although that lofty title is no longer valid, they remain a popular attraction with awe-inspiring views from the 86th floor and the sky bridge on the 41st floor. The nearby KL Tower is another skyscraper in the Golden Triangle that is popular with tourists who have a head for heights.
Despite the abundance of concrete and glass that pervades the Malaysian capital, it is still possible to enjoy more natural attractions while you’re there. Aquaria KLCC features a large aquarium and underwater tunnel, while the KL Bird Park is home to more than 200 species of birds from around Asia. If you’re travelling with children, the Berjaya Times Square Theme Park is the place to go. This attraction is one of the largest indoor theme parks in Asia, featuring various rides for all ages. -
