Highlights
- Batu Caves - Batu Caves is a renowned and iconic tourist destination in Selangor. Home to a Hindu temple and shrine, it draws thousands of worshipers and tourists. Located just north of Kuala Lumpur, this limestone outcrop features three main caves with temples and Hindu shrines. Its main highlight is the large statue of a Hindu deity at the entrance, along with a steep 272-step climb that offers a breathtaking view of the city skyline. Monkeys play around the caves, making it a popular spot for rock climbing enthusiasts. The site also showcases paintings and scenes of Hindu gods.
- Petronas Twin Towers - Standing at 451.9 meters, the magnificent Petronas Twin Towers are a globally recognized symbol of modern Malaysia. They are the centerpiece of the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) development, which includes landmarks like the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Suria KLCC shopping mall, star-rated hotels, a mosque, and the beautifully landscaped KLCC Park. Visitors can explore the Skybridge on the 41st floor and the viewing deck on the 86th floor.
- Menara Kuala Lumpur - Majestically standing atop Bukit Nanas at 421 meters and 94 meters above sea level, KL Tower is a prominent feature of the city’s skyline. Its architecture reflects the country’s Islamic heritage, with intricate Arabic scripts, Islamic tiles, classic floral and abstract motifs, and soothing color combinations.
- East Coast Batik Sdn Bhd (Batik CHONG) - Established in 1974, East Coast Batik (914804-X) (formerly Syarikat East Coast) is one of the oldest batik and handicrafts centers in Klang Valley. A visit to the gallery reveals that batik is more than just a cloth with elaborate designs. Syarikat East Coast is the place to visit for a comprehensive experience in Malaysian batik and handicrafts.
- Royal Selangor Visitor Centre - The visitor center takes you back over a hundred years to the founding of Royal Selangor and its deep connection to Malaysia’s history. Through complimentary guided tours, visitors learn about the remarkable development of tin mining in the Malay Peninsula in the 1800s and can view traditional pewtersmithing tools, antique pewter, and ancient tin currency at the center’s pewter museum.
- Istana Negara - Istana Negara, or the National Palace, is the official residence of the King of Malaysia. This majestic building, located at Jalan Duta, officially became the National Palace in November 2011, replacing the old palace at Jalan Istana. It features 22 domes, with the largest dome reaching up to 40 meters in height. Note: Visits are limited to the exterior.
- National Monument - The National Monument was built to honor those who sacrificed their lives for peace and freedom, particularly during the nation’s struggle against communism. The grounds feature one of the world’s largest free-standing bronze sculptures, created in 1966 by Felix de Weldon, who also sculpted the famous Iwo Jima Monument in Washington, DC.
- Merdeka Square - Merdeka Square is located directly opposite the Sultan Abdul Samad Building and next to the Royal Selangor Club. This historic site is where the Union Flag was lowered, and the Malayan flag was raised for the first time at midnight on August 31, 1957. Since then, Merdeka Square has been the venue for the annual Merdeka Parade.
- Sultan Abdul Samad Building - The iconic Sultan Abdul Samad Building is situated in front of Dataran Merdeka. This historic building houses the Supreme and High Courts. Its unique Moorish design and clock tower make it a widely photographed landmark in the city center.
- National Mosque (Masjid Negara) - Masjid Negara is one of the city’s most distinguished landmarks, featuring a unique star-shaped dome and a 73-meter-high minaret. Located on the fringes of the KL Lake Gardens, visitors are advised to dress appropriately when visiting the mosque, with women required to wear headscarves.
- Malayan Railway Administration Building - One of Malaysia’s most beautiful old buildings, the Railway Station and Administration Building is a stunning example of Moorish architecture.
- Little India Brickfields - Brickfields began as a center for brick-making in the late 19th century after a massive fire and flood swept through Kuala Lumpur in 1881, destroying the town’s wooden and thatched structures. Sir Frank Swettenham, the British Resident at the time, responded by mandating the use of brick and tile in building construction, giving rise to the town’s purpose.
- National Museum - Muzium Negara stands on the site of the former Selangor Museum, established in 1898. After Malaysia’s independence in 1957, the new federal government built a larger museum on the same spot. The museum houses various exhibits depicting the country’s historical background, with rotating exhibits, so it’s best to call ahead to see what’s on display.
- Thean Hou Temple - Built between 1981 and 1987, Thean Hou Temple may not be old, but its traditional ornate decorative facade conceals a modern structure. The large temple, spread over six tiers, is managed by Malaysia’s Hainanese community, descendants of sea-faring fisherfolk from Hainan Island, China.
- Sri Maha Mariamman Temple - This stunning Hindu temple is one of the oldest, featuring a magnificent 22-meter-high gate tower and portico adorned with intricately carved images of Hindu deities. Inside, the deities of the Hindu goddess Maha Mariamman are embellished with gold and precious stones. The temple’s surroundings are filled with the sights and sounds of peddlers selling jasmine garlands and aromatic incense.
