Places to visit in Kuala Lumpur

One of the striking things about Kuala Lumpur it that is a young city, established in the 1850s. The other striking thing about Kuala Lumpur is how culturally diverse the city is with influences from England, India and Chinese along side the culture, food and architecture of the Malay people. The older parts of the city are clustered around Kuala Lumpur Central Market. To the north of the market is Merdeka Square, which features a range of magnificent buildings designed by the British, as well the nearby Jamek Mosque also designed and built by the British Colonial rulers. To the east KL Central Market are two of Kuala Lumpur’s most famous temples: the Hindu Sri Mahamariamman Temple and the Taoist Guan Di Temple. In the same area as these temples is Petaling Street Walking Market. To the south of the central market is the Old Kuala Lumpur Railway Station and the Railway Headquarters building, both designed by the British in the Indo-Saracenic style which features heavily in the architecture of British colonial buildings across Asia.

By way of complete contrast some of the other main attractions in Kuala Lumpur are the shopping centres and vibrant nightlife of the Bukit Bintang area. Bukit Bintang has a covered walkway making it accessible to pedestrians, unlike the rest of Kuala Lumpur where little thought has been put into allowing people to walk around the city. A short distance to the north of Bukit Bintang are the Petronas Towers, which are the tallest twin towers in the world and great place to visit as the views of the city and the surrounding area are spectacular.
