6 Unique Things to Do in Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The city of Kuala Lumpur is a multicultural and vibrant destination you just have to love. Malaysia’s capital offers everything travelers are looking for and more: vibrant culture, lip-smacking food, and rich history. It’s no wonder that there is a multitude of unique things to do in Kuala Lumpur for any taste. Whether you are seeking great food experiences, spectacular city views or pure relaxation, Kuala Lumpur will fulfill your wildest travel dreams.

Everyone knows the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. However, there is another tower that is worth visiting in the city. The KL Tower, also called Menara Tower, offers incredible views of the entire city. Most visitors check out the observation platform but there’s more. If you are looking for a truly unique experience, book afternoon tea or dinner at the rotating restaurant on top of the tower. ‘Atmosphere 360’ is a great way to see the entire city from the highest point in town. Because KL Tower is situated on top of a hill, it is actually higher than the Petronas Towers themselves. The experience costs 52 MYR ($12) which makes it unique and totally affordable!

Despite its enormous size and many districts, Kuala Lumpur is a very green city. One of its most popular parks is located near the National Mosque. Lake Gardens is home to a botanical garden, orchid park, zoo, a butterfly park and a lot more. It’s a large area with so many amazing things to explore. However, many visitors don’t get to see the entire park due to the time available during their travels. Lucky for you there is a way to explore the entire area in a fraction of the time. I was invited to join the local ‘Segway Tour’ with Eco Ride Malaysia through the park and couldn’t believe how much fun I had. I had never been on a segway before but had the best time explore the park speeding away. It’s easy, fun and saves you a lot of valuable travel time when choosing to explore the park by segway. The tour is RM168 ($38) per person and includes a minimum of 2 hours’ tour of the Lake Gardens, English & Chinese speaking guide, and a pickup/drop-off service to your hotel. ......
