Getting Around
Metro
Kuala Lumpur's Light Rail Transit (LRT) costs RM1.20 to RM6.40 per ride, covers key attractions like Bukit Bintang and KLCC, and you can use a Touch 'n Go card for hassle-free travel. For the best value, consider the Rabbit Card for unlimited rides on public transport and to save time at ticket machines.
Taxi
Kuala Lumpur's taxis are available 24/7 and typically charge a starting fare of RM3.00 plus RM0.25 for each subsequent kilometer, but always insist on using the meter to avoid being overcharged. For safer rides, use reputable apps like Grab, which is widely used and often cheaper than traditional taxis.

🐦 In the vast territory, there are loads of different birds, from tiny ones to majestic predators. The highlight of this place is that the entire park is covered by a giant net that stretches across the whole perimeter. Birds have plenty of places to fly and they are all well-fed. Inside the park, there are several educational centers, a playground for kids, and an area with a waterfall.
One thing I didn’t like at all – it’s the food, mind you, it's everywhere, where there's a large gathering of birds. It seemed pretty to look at, but staying long to watch was not particularly pleasant. It was also stiflingly hot; if you’re not used to nature, it can be tough to withstand the end of the day visiting. One should adjust to the weather and take plenty of water.
💚 Overall, it was engaging and a great option for children’s development, and every child will see some unique birds for the first time. But for me, in any case – it’s a two-edged sword, as there the freedom is limited. Such mixed feelings linger. 🤷♀️
Kids up to 3 years old are free, my friend paid for the little one and we saved 😄 For adults, the entry fee is about $15.
🎡 I also added a photo where the Indian temple is located on the mountain. Everyone was debating whether to go there or not, given it was so hot. In the end, we ended up under the rain 😂🙈 It was easy to fit in there, not so comfortable just due to the crowd of people and not safe, climbing the 600 stairs. The kids went up brilliantly and then slid down themselves, surprisingly, with such enthusiasm and remained satisfied)).
Inside it's fantastic, somehow you fall into the Avatar movie, with waterfalls, mountains, and the green moss of nature. India surrounds you everywhere. The atmosphere is overwhelming and impressive! You should definitely go! Entrance is free.
💙 Thank you, Malaysia, for every day...
And as in a favorite song about the "green suitcase":
"Here it’s very beautiful, but we must move on, after all, we are not just here for fun..." »
It features a glass and elastic concrete twin-tower structure, inspired by traditional Islamic designs and built to a height of 1,483 feet. 🌟 Its architecture reflects Islamic motifs with sustainability elements prominently incorporated. 🌍 The construction cost was around $800 million. 💰 An additional safety feature of the towers includes an aerial bridge, suspended on gigantic steel cables, since the towers sway, making fixed anchoring impossible. »
🔔 Visa-free entry for up to 30 days for most nationalities.
📍 Shopping. There's an unbelievable number of malls here for every taste! Also, you can find electronics at fabulous prices. The selection is vast, and prices are lower.
🍜 For those who haven’t traveled around Asia, Kuala Lumpur offers a fantastic opportunity to try various cuisines! Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, and many others. All the food is authentic and reasonably priced!
🌴 A perfect place for those who still haven't decided what type of jungle they prefer: concrete or green?! At first glance, the city may seem gray and "glass-like," but if you take a closer look, you’ll discover its life! Lots of parks with animals and trees that grow even on the roofs of buildings! Just 31 miles by bus/car, and you’re already in the mountains with stunning views and fresh air!
🙌 Comfort. Here, everyone speaks English fluently (which is rare for Asia!), and almost everywhere you can pay with a card, plus taxi rides won’t cost you a fortune!
✈️ Huge transit hub. From Kuala Lumpur, you can fly to any point in Asia for a song! Today, we are flying to Bali for $20 per person!!! Almost the same amount as getting a taxi!
🏢 And you might remember, the apartments with a splendid view and a glass cube from past posts do have their charm, don’t they?
Thinking about visiting here? 😉 Who wouldn’t want to add this list of highlights to their travel log! 👌🏼 »
The city of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of one of the most advanced countries in Southeast Asia, amazed me with its beauty, modernity, and humidity. I love the heat, but in KL, the warmth and humidity were so intense that my washed shirts didn’t dry at all in three days in the room, and I was starting to worry they might start to smell.
Everything is incredibly beautiful, exotic, and clean (especially noticeable for a big city), the skyscrapers seamlessly blend with giant trees, everything runs like clockwork, there’s no traffic, the roads are fantastic, and there’s virtually no crime (Malaysia is one of the safest countries in the world in this regard). There are three main ethnic groups in Malaysia - Indians, Chinese, and Muslims, yet there are no interethnic conflicts because the laws are strict and effectively enforced. It made me think how great it would be to have leaders like that. The laws are divided into two categories - for Muslims and for everyone else.
Everything is delightful and tasty, but the humidity is intense, and prices are quite high compared to Indonesia. »
