Kuala Lumpur Sights

KL, as it's known locally, or Kuala Lumpur is the capital city of Malaysia and once sat snuggled between the muddy confluence of the Gombak and Klang Rivers, from where it gets its name, is now a bustling metropolis that no longer plays second fiddle to rivals such as Singapore. Today Kuala Lumpur has cutting edge world-famous architecture like the Petronas Towers and the ultra-modern transit system. But despite all this, KL retains all its old charms and many traditional buildings, narrow side streets and open air marketplaces.

So, although Kuala Lumpur is very much a 21^st Century city, which is the first impression one gets on arriving at KLIA (KL International Airport) , there is a wealth of culture and surprises to be discovered in the city if humble origins that is still largely indifferent to tourism yet welcoming at its heart.
