What to expect

3 hours – 4 hours7 stopsShared tourMax 15 travellers

  1. Dataran Merdeka

    Jln Raja, Kuala Lumpur, 50050, Malaysia

    Pass by

    Merdeka Square is undoubtedly KL’s best known landmark. Also called Dataran Merdeka, it is set in front of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building (the former State Secretariat). Directly in front is the Royal Selangor Club and to the north is St. Mary’s Church, one of Malaysia’s oldest Anglican churches. Within the colonial core of Kuala Lumpur, where the remnants of the British empire are especially evident, Merdeka Square seems to be nothing more than a giant field with perfectly manicured green lawns and a centrepiece of the tallest flagpole in the world (95m) proudly displaying the Jalur Gemilang (Malaysian flag). At the corner of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Raja Laut, Merdeka Square is made up of a padang (field) that was once the Selangor Club cricket pitch

  2. Central Market Kuala Lumpur

    Jalan Hang Kasturi, Kuala Lumpur, 50050, Malaysia

    Pass by

    Central Market is a place you cannot miss. It is actually located in this building called the Pasar Seni. Pasar Seni has been around for a very long time. It was first established in 1888. Central Market is exactly at the side of Kasturi Walk at Pasar Seni. A short walking distance away, is the popular Chinatown (Petaling Street) of Kuala Lumpur. Central Market's location is so strategic that there is no way you can miss this place

  3. Chinatown

    Jalan Petaling, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

    Pass by

    Ask anyone who’s been to Malaysia about Petaling Street and they will cite it as a shopper’s haven, albeit in a different league when compared to its more glamourous counterparts, Bukit Bintang and KLCC. A well-known shopping district, the whole area transforms into a lively and vibrant night market after dark, with hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of stuff at dirt-cheap prices, making it the most happening night market in the city.

  4. Sin Sze Si Ya Temple

    Jalan Cheng Lock, Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur, 50000, Malaysia

    Pass by

    Sin Sze Si Ya Temple, built in 1864 by Kapitan Yap Ah Loy, is hailed as the oldest Taoist temple in Kuala Lumpur. Situated just a three-minute walk away from Petaling Street, the temple also functions as a cultural centre for the city’s Chinese community and is usually filled with devotees during significant occasions such as Chinese New Year. Sin Sze Ya Temple is dedicated to patron deities Sin Sze Ya and Si Sze Ya, who played significant roles in Yap Ah Loy's ascension to Kapitan status during the 19th century.

  5. Sri Maha Mariamman Temple

    167, Jalan Tun H S Lee, Kuala Lumpur, 50000, Malaysia

    Pass by

    South of Jalan Hang Lekir, tucked away on Jalan Tun HS Lee, is the extravagantly decorated Sri Mahamariamman Temple. Incorporating Spanish and Italian tiles, precious stones and gold in its design, KL’s main Hindu temple is an incongruous sight situated between two Buddhist temples at the edge of Chinatown. This large and elaborate Hindu temple was founded by Tamil immigrants, from southern India, who arrived in Malaya as contract labourers to build the railways and roads or work in the rubber plantations – its primary purpose was to serve as a solace from the rigours of their working life. Construction of the temple began in 1873 with plenty of ongoing restoration and embellishment occurring over the years.

  6. Kampong Bharu

    Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

    Pass by

    Old-world Kampong Baru owes its rural vibe to the traditional Malay wooden stilt houses here, flanked by coconut palms and banana trees. Chickens and goats wander the narrow lanes, and stalls sell street food like grilled fish and dragon fruit smoothies. A lively weekly night market sells clothes and handicrafts, while nearby Chow Kit Market is known for produce, spices and textiles.

  7. Petronas Twin Towers

    Concourse Level, Lower Ground, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Kuala Lumpur, 50088, Malaysia

    Pass by

    Petronas Twin Towers were once the tallest buildings in the world. Now the world’s tallest twin structures, the 88-storey buildings were designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates with both towers joined at the 41st and 42nd floors (175m above street level) by a 58 metre-long, double-decker Sky Bridge. Standing 452 metres tall, the Petronas Twin Towers retained its world-title claim to fame until 2004 when Taipei's 101 was built, measuring 508 metres tall. Today, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (opened in 2010) retains the spot as the world’s tallest building. Located in the KL city centre, the Petronas Twin Towers’ architecture is Islamic-inspired and the buildings primarily house the corporate headquarters of the Petronas Company and other offices.
