The perfect time to shop is during the holiday season, as you can easily snag a bargain.
3. Stand at the pinnacle of Kuala Lumpur: The Petronas Twin Towers
A trip to Kuala Lumpur is incomplete until you go to the Petronas Twin Towers, which was once the tallest building in the world. From the top, you get a view of the city or purchase tickets online for a guided tour.
Capture photos of the towers from KLCC Park or the Pavilion Mall. For dynamic photos of the city with the towers in the background, take photos from the Sky Deck at KL Tower.
If traveling with children, visit the Petrosains, a science museum inside Suria KLCC. The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra at the twin towers will also entertain you more.
