Kuala Lumpur offers an excellent variety of shops, local restaurants and colorful markets. Take a Kuala Lumpur tour and learn of the Malaysian capital's changing skyline that mixes skyscrapers, including the world-famous Petronas Towers, mosques, colonial buildings and temples, and understand the cities unique and interesting blend of cultures.

The Malaysian tourist board use the slogan 'truly Asia' and nowhere else is this more true than in the capital itself. Historic temples and mosques blend seamlessly with space-age towers and shopping malls. One of the most striking things about Kuala Lumpur, or KL as it's affectionately known, is it's cultural diversity. A mix of ethnic locals, Chinese prospectors, Indian migrants and British colonials have all helped to sculpt the city and each group has left its own indelible mark.

Eating, shopping and nightlife are popular highlights of any visit, but don’t restrict yourself to the city – there is a fantastic array of parks and monuments scattered around KL that make easy day trips for a break from the hustle and bustle.

Fly from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi

A trip to Langkawi represents an experience of much slower but no less appealing pace than the capital. Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea located approximately 30 kms off the northwest coast of mainland Malaysia. Langkawi is the kind of tropical island where there’s no lack of spas, seafood restaurants and beach bars, but where the locals continue to go about their ways just as they have for generations, making holiday makers feel welcomed and able to mix into the culture with ease.
