Malaysia’s balmy capital, Kuala Lumpur, is a land that is starkly divided into two easily identifiable areas – the past and present. The old stands proudly against the new in this city, and both fuse to create a city like no other. Kuala Lumpur has everything for a memorable tourist experience, owing to its historic monuments and shrines, skyscrapers that are architectural marvels, sprawling malls, bustling street markets, fancy fine dining restaurants that offer the world on your platter, and most importantly, street hawkers, who serve lip-smacking local delicacies.
The real highlight of visiting Kuala Lumpur is experiencing its culture, which is a blend of Malay, Chinese, and Indian communities. Once you drive around in a car rental from Kuala Lumpur airport, you’ll notice that Kuala Lumpur is rooted in tradition, but the influence of the contemporary world could also be easily witnessed throughout the city. With a variety of options for dining and endless shopping options, Kuala Lumpur will not disappoint anybody.
The city will keep you entertained for hours, and walking around is the best way to see Kuala Lumpur. However, humidity and heat are troublesome, and it’s advisable to take a car hire from Kuala Lumpur airport.
