morpho Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) I suggest the Petronas Twin Towers tour. Not cheap...about US$23...but the building is impressive and the views from the crossover bridge and the 86th floor observation deck are quite spectacular. The areas outside and shopping center center inside the building are nice too. I stayed at Geo Hotel which is in a very good location with LRT Pasar Seni train station next door. From Geo, there is a the National Mosque and other attractions nearby. If you intend to visit the mosque, first check on non-prayer times when you can actually get in. You can take the Ekspress train from the airport to KL Sentral station and catch another train to the Pasar Seni station (or a taxi at the metered taxi stand outside...get your ticket first inside KL Sentral) and then a short walk to Geo.

morpho Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 BTW I assumed that you are non-Muslim but if I am incorrect and you are Muslim, you can enter the National Mosque any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Linky Posted August 24, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2015 As the other poster linked to, batu caves is not far, get a metred taxi. Dont have a heart attack climbing the stairs ? If you like a beer then head to changkat bukit bintang, its in the city centre, only about 2km at most from the towers. Nice bars and restaurants for people watching etc. I'd be happy to meet with you for an ale in changkat if you like. I will be free from about 5pm. Pm me if you want a few and I'd be happy to 'escort' you in the bar area. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnikaIII Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Find a hotel at booking.com It usually always cheaper to prebook than walk-in. You will e able to choose the location, and prices within the hotel. The view from the towers is expensive, whereas it is free to view the towers from anywhere outside. KL also has some good art galleries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauleddy Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 It's quite easy to pass the day around Bukit Bintang. from there it's only 2 minutes to windowshop at the huge Pavilion Mall (which has a "cheap" food hall in the basement). From there, it's a 10-minute walk to the Petronas Towers/KLCC area. The Towers are staggering/mindblowing when you stand at the base, but I wouldn't pay 23 Dollars for the tour. You cannot go to the top anyway--but you can join the large queue to walk across the 86th floor bridge for 23 $. Once again, if you like shopping, the KLCC Mall is under the towers. On a budget, I would stay at the Imperial Hotel (next to KFC in BBintang). It's an economy hotel at about 1000b, maybe a bit less, but it's at the top of Jalan Alor which is the main dining street for CHEAP chinese food and beer. There is also a very cheap Indian curry shop about 50 m from the hotel door. A few meters away you also have the big malls of Lot 10 and Low Yat. Low Yat has plenty of gadgets and computers and mobiles. Sometimes the newest new models. The monorail (like BTS) is pretty large too. The airport train from Central Station is quick and cheap, or else (slower) are the bus companies (Air Asia runs a bus every 30 minutes, cheap). Beware of the older red/white taxis who will haggle and not use meters. The newer BLUE metered taxis are like small MPVs but can be expensive if you get stuck in the lunchtime traffic around KLCC or BBintang. Right now, the Ringit is weak, so you get quite a lot of ringits to a dollar or a GBP. Eddy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
