Kuala Lumpu, or KL, as it is better known among aficionados – is your gateway to Southeast Asia. The city made its debut on the world stage back in the late 19th century, when the British made it the capital of Peninsular Malaysia. Today its grand colonial buildings coexist perfectly with its dizzying skyscrapers. KL’s defining factors for locals and travelers alike, however, lie in its shopping and gastronomic delights! Rediscover the joys of retail therapy at its glitzy malls and its local markets near Chinatown. The best eating spots are also to be discovered with its many street food stalls and little neighborhood coffee shops. For a truly authentic feel of this complex city, the trick is to find your way to KL’s laidback alleyways and café corners. Despite modern advances, the pulsating heart of Malaysia still retains vestiges of its historical self, with a relaxed persona – and is awaiting you to explore it!
