About Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur er Malaysias pulserende hovedstad, hvor Petronas-tårnene rejser sig over malaysiske, kinesiske og indiske kvarterer og berømt gademad.

De to Petronas-tårne, forbundet af en skybridge, definerer skylinen, med en anlagt park og springvand ved deres fod. KL Tower tilbyder en anden udsigt fra sin skovklædte bakke, og Merdeka-pladsen, hvor nationalflaget blev hejst ved uafhængigheden, er indrammet af den mauriske Sultan Abdul Samad-bygning.

Top-ranked sights in Kuala Lumpur: National Mosque of Malaysia (Masjid Negara), Thean Hou Temple, Kuala Lumpur Chinatown.
