If you are heading off to Kuala Lumpur in the near future for a holiday or perhaps on a business trip and you are looking around the internet for some things you could do while you are there, then here are 6 top places you should check out for sure!
* Petronas Towers
If you are to visit Kuala Lumpur then its very difficult to avoid seeing the Petronas Towers. So the Petronas Towers are a "must-see" purely because you can't avoid seeing them. Seriously though, its possible to go up to the 41st floor for a look, and it is worth a look because you can see so much of Kuala Lumpur. At a height of 452 meters, the Towers were until fairly recently the tallest buildings in the world, although that accolade has recently gone to Burj Dubai, which is a whopping 828 meters high!
* Kuala Lumpur Tower
Menara Kuala Lumpur or Kuala Lumpur Tower was built in 1995 and is situated in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. It stands at 421 meters high and is the 6th tallest tower in the world. If you feel like having a fantastic view of all of Kuala Lumpur then you will find inside the tower a revolving restaurant, which would be a marvellous experience for any tourist to have.
* The National Museum
The Muzium Negara is situated just outside Perdana Lake Gardens and is built in the style of a Rumah Gadang. Situated on top of a hill at Jalan Travers, it serves visitors as an introduction to the culture and history of Malaysia.
* The National Palace
The National Palace is the home to the King of Malaysia, as the name implies it to be. It was the home to the Sultan of Selangor once the Japanese occupation of 1941 to 1945 came to an end. In 1957 however, the Government acquired the Palace to be the King's residential Palace.
* Malaysian National Mosque
The National Mosque is so large that it can easily accommodate up to 15 thousand people at any one time. It is the main feature of 13 acres of lovely gardens and the main features include a 73 meter high minaret and a star design for the main roof area. The gardens are dotted with various water features throughout.
* The Central Market
This was the main fish market of the city and is also known as Pasar Seni. However, now the main offerings are antiques and paintings, arts and crafts, clothes and souvenirs for the traveler. The building is designed in the old British colonnial style.
