This is a Kuala Lumpur travel video showcasing our favorite things to do along with what we consider to be the top attractions in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. From this travel video guide you should get an idea of an itinerary or schedule you can plan activities around while based in KL.
We first venture off to marvel at the magnificent Petronas Towers. These otherworldly towers are the most impressive buildings I’ve ever seen in my entire life. They don’t look like they belong on planet earth. Equally as impressive during the day as they are at night, I recommend visiting the towers frequently and scouting out various vantage points to take photos.
Next we tour around the Independence Square (Merdeka Square) located nearby Chinatown. The impressive architecture and enormous flag are standout features. If you come early enough you can beat the tourist buses and at night the buildings really shine.
No trip to Kuala Lumpur would be complete without hopping on and off the LRT sky train. At night we took a ride and captured some high speed footage. You get a glimpse of the Petronas Towers before we head into the tunnels.
Just 13 km north of KL is a special Hindu Shrine called the Batu Caves. Dedicated to Lord Murugan it’s a wonderful free attraction worth exploring. While visiting you’ll notice your share of cheeky monkeys roaming about.
Finally for breakfast, lunch or dinner consider having roti canai (flat bread) along with curry. My personal favorite is banana roti along with watermelon juice.

I wish I had this guide when I was stuck in KL for a few days. I did ok just wandering around, found some really good food, but on the whole thought the city was kinda tame.
Cannot wait to visit Malaysia soon. Thanks for the video guide mate, totally checking out a bunch of these when I finally visit!
Wonderful video. = )
Thanks Colleen! 🙂
Some good tips. I’ve never been a huge fan of KL but it’s good to see some of the things I’ve missed. The food is definitely the highlight, I reckon!
KL isn’t my favorite city either. It’s more of a launching pad to get somewhere else. You’re definitely spot on about the food 😉
