7 Things Tourists Don't Do in Kuala Lumpur, but You Should
Worthwhile Kuala Lumpur attractions overlooked by most tourists...
2023 Travel Update: As of 2023, Malaysia essentially is open for tourism by both vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers without Covid-specific documentation or testing. However, be sure to double check the official government site and travel alerts for up-to-the minute details.
Perhaps because Kuala Lumpur is a less famous Asian destination than Bangkok, Hong Kong, or Tokyo, tourists may arrive with few expectations beyond seeing the iconic Petronas Towers. It's not uncommon even to meet people who have visited Kuala Lumpur briefly and who remark that the city is little more than a couple of tall towers and shiny shopping malls.
Kuala Lumpur is more than highrises and malls, though. Here are seven things that travelgasm.com has discovered on multiple visits to KL that most tourists either underappreciate or overlook entirely and that we think are well worth seeing. In aggregate, it is hoped that these destinations help to provide at least a bit broader and deeper understanding of the city than the top tourist attractions alone.
