The Islamic City
Known as ‘The Islamic City’, Kota Bharu offers a fine architectural mix of dignified mosques and old royal buildings. Most visitors use the town as a stopover on the way to the Perhentian Islands, but friendly locals, tasty cuisine, and easy access to authentic villages make a sound case for a longer stay. However long you stay, you should have no problem filling your Kota Bharu itinerary with interesting museums in town and temples, waterfalls, and caves in the surrounding area. Plan my day in Malaysia using traveler tips and tourist information provided by Inspirock.
