Transportation
Airport information
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)
Distance to city centre 55km
Taxi
There are taxi counters in the arrivals hall where you
can buy a pre-paid voucher. The trip into central KL, depending on
where you’re going, will cost around MYR RM80-100 for a budget taxi
(2-3 people) and take around an hour. Metered taxis are also
available outside the terminal, but you’ll need to buy a coupon for
MYR2.00 from the airport counter prior to boarding one. There’s a
50% surcharge between 12am and 6am.
Train
The KLIA Ekspres is the fastest way to travel to the city,
taking only 28 minutes to KL Sentral. Depending on the time of day,
it departs every 15-30 minutes, and costs MYR RM55.
Bus
There are bus services to destinations around KL, including an
express coach to KL Sentral departing every 30 minutes. The fare is
MYR RM10 and the trip takes about an hour.
When to go
With tropical weather year-round, there isn’t really a bad time to
visit Malaysia. The wetter monsoon seasons occur in late May to
September and November to March. If you're planning to visit the
islands on the east coast, it’s best to avoid November to February,
as beach resorts will be closed.
The city comes alive during key festivals such as Christmas and New
Year, Chinese New Year, Merdeka or Independence Day (August 31) and
Hari Raya Puasa. Late January/early February sees the Hindu festival
of Thaipusam celebrated in grand style at Batu Caves.
Getting around
The free GOKL bus service has four circular routes around the city,
with buses running every 5 minutes during peak times and every 10
minutes at other times. The monorail can be useful for travelling
between sightseeing areas. There is also the LRT (Light Rail
Transit) for going further afield. A KL TravelPass, available at the
airport, will give you airport transfers on the KLIA Ekspres as well
as two days’ free travel; you can then add cash to the card to
continue using it on public transport. Taxis are plentiful, but make
sure they use the meter.
Whether you’re a shopaholic, foodie, culture
fiend or nature lover, you’ll find plenty of reasons to love Kuala
Lumpur (KL). Combining the energy, excitement and endless
attractions of a fast-paced metropolis with a sultry tropical feel,
Malaysia’s capital makes for an unforgettable holiday.
The city’s architecture reflects its diversity. Gleaming skyscrapers
tower over traditional temples and mosques, while gigantic,
flamboyant mega-malls are landmarks in their own right. Visitors
keen to explore KL’s famous retail scene are spoiled for choice,
with iconic complexes like Pavilion, Mid-Valley Megamall, Starhill
Gallery and the artsy Publika just the start.
Many of the mega-malls have great food halls, but for a more
down-home culinary experience, hit the streets. Chinatown and Bukit
Bintang are great places to try out KL’s much-loved hawker stalls
while soaking up the local ambience. For fine dining with a view,
try one of the swanky restaurants high in the city’s skyscrapers.
Taking time out from the hubbub is easy: KL is dotted with glorious
urban parks. From the magical Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park and the
lush Perdana Botanical Garden to the tropical forest of Taman Tugu,
green spaces abound.
