What to do and see in Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan: The Best Things to do Good for Couples

May 15, 2022 Janette Largent

The cultural hub of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur is visually defined by the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, which, at 88 stories high, are the tallest twin buildings in the world and a vision of modern architecture. On the flip side, the Sri Mahamariamman is the oldest Hindu temple in Malaysia, its façade a colorful totem pole of iconography. Shopping at the Central Market is a joyful experience that involves haggling, handicrafts, and happiness.

Second tome to this pewter factory so we just got a taxi to it and was greeted by a very nice guide Gloria who know we were on a tight schedule so gave us our very own tour, she was very informative and quite funny which is always nice. We bought numerous items in the shop which we had planned to get all done in half an hour which was fantastic, great work Gloria ????

Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia

Large open-plan museum on four levels with an impressive collection of Islamic artifacts. The wood carvings are a consistent favorite.

Reviewed By HananB308 - Ramat Gan, Israel

This museum should be a required visit by tourists visiting KL. It deals with a great deal of the culture, crafts and history of the Muslim world, and as such bestows a great deal of honor to that world. A great deal of thought and effort went into the curating of the museum. The sheer amount of material on display requires a long visit or several shorter ones.

Thean Hou Temple

This ornate Chinese temple dedicated to the Queen of Heaven, Thean Hou, protectorate of people who make their living from the sea. The temple borrows from Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian traditions. Some visitors believe the panoramic views of KL alone make the trip up the hill worthwhile.

What a total opposite to the disgraceful dump that is the Hindu Batu Caves that we visited earlier in the day . It is amazing how different religions and attitudes can be so different This beautiful temple is immaculately maintained and has a peaceful ambiance . Set on a hill top it has stunning views across the city . Grab a Grab and make this one of your must sees whilst in KL.

Lake Symphony

Reviewed By LauraT404 - Middlesbrough, United Kingdom

Located within KLCC Park, the two musical fountains are beautifully lit up with colourful performances of light, sound and water every night. The light and sound showtimes are 8pm, 9pm  and 10pm with smaller light only shows at 7.30pm, 8.30pm and 9.30pm daily. Each show lasts approx 10 minutes. Reviews say the shows get better as the night goes on, but I can't comment as we only managed to see a couple of shows. A recommended view point is on the opposite side of the fountains looking back at the Twin Towers lit up at night. I loved the rainbow colours of the fountains. The music was very entertaining too. Definitely worthwhile popping out to see a show or two if at or near the KLCC at night. A free attraction so has to be 5*.

Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan

Reviewed By oliviad542

This was my first time going inside a mosque and it was great, we felt very welcomed. They provide robes to cover up so you don’t need to wear anything in particular to visit. We had a free tour (go to gate B) which was very informative about the history of Islam, its teachings and the mosque itself. Our guide Ahmed was very friendly and knowledgeable, answering all of our questions. We got a free bottle of water at the end. This visit has been a highlight! An easy grab ride from the centre. Highly recommend.

Central Market Kuala Lumpur

Central Market began life as a wet market in 1888, built by Yap Ah Loy, the city’s Chinese Kapitan. It served as a prominent landmark in colonial and modern-day Kuala Lumpur. When the wet market was relocated in the 1980s, the Malaysian Heritage Society successfully petitioned against the demolition of the building. Now, Central Market Kuala Lumpur is an iconic attraction and a delightful destination for tourists, shoppers and art lovers.

Reviewed By 51sueo

A former wet and dry goods market building, centrally located in KL within walking distance of Petaling Street, with 2 levels of shops offering local arts and crafts and also a food court with variety of local and western food. The cool air in the large building allows respite from the heat outside, allowing a more leisurely walk around the various shops and closer look at all that is offered. From batik fashions to carved wooden implements to Chinese artwork to name a few and a good selection of small souvenirs to remind one of their visit to Malysia. Prices are reasonable and bargaining is expected.
