    Kuala Lumpur

    Kuala Lumpur

    Malaysia's capital combines the Petronas Towers and modern shopping districts with colonial buildings around Merdeka Square, a vibrant Chinatown, and the hawker stalls of Jalan Alor and Kampung Baru. Malays, Chinese, and Indians equally shape the city's appearance, which is particularly evident in its cuisine.
    Brickfields (Little India)

    Brickfields (Little India)

    Brickfields is Kuala Lumpur's Indian quarter, right next to the transport hub KL Sentral. Along Jalan Tun Sambanthan the air smells of jasmine and spices, and Tamil film music drifts out of the shops. Here you can buy saris and gold jewelry, eat banana-leaf rice or dosa, and visit temples of three religions within a few hundred meters.The area is well suited to half a day, for example before or after a trip from the airport.
    Chinatown

    Chinatown

    Chinatown is Kuala Lumpur's oldest district. Around the covered Petaling Street, market stalls, street food vendors, and shophouses from the city's early days jostle for space. Between the stalls, a Taoist and a Hindu temple lie almost side-by-side; a few steps further, the Central Market sells handicrafts from all over Malaysia.By day, explore temples and alleys like Kwai Chai Hong; in the evening, noodle stalls and bars in the restored shophouses come alive. Bargaining is common when shopping at the market.
    Bukit Bintang

    Bukit Bintang

    Bukit Bintang is Kuala Lumpur's shopping and entertainment district. Along the eponymous street are large malls like Pavilion and Lot 10, and behind them lie the food street Jalan Alor and the bar strip Changkat Bukit Bintang. Many of the city's hotels are located here.
    Kampung Baru

    Kampung Baru

    Kampung Baru is the Malay village in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Separated from KLCC and the Petronas Towers only by the Klang River, traditional wooden houses still stand here amidst palm and frangipani trees. The district originated in 1899 from a land grant by the Sultan of Selangor as a settlement where Malays were meant to preserve their village way of life within the city.In the streets around **Jalan Raja Muda Musa**, you'll find simple Malay eateries serving Nasi Lemak, Satay, and Ikan Bakar. In the evening, cross the **Saloma Link** over to KLCC and enjoy the illuminated skyline before you.
