12 days in Kuala Lumpur Itinerary

A holiday in Kuala Lumpur, a modern metropolis and capital of Malaysia, reveals a place where colonial influences, Asian traditions, and modern aesthetics come together in urban architecture and street layout.

Explore Kuala Lumpur's surroundings by going to Raja Haji Fisabilillah Mosque (in Cyberjaya), Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple (in Jenjarom) and Putra Mosque (in Putrajaya). There's still lots to do: Head underground at Batu Caves, don't miss a visit to Merdeka Square, get a taste of the local shopping with Central Market Kuala Lumpur, and explore the world behind art at Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia.
