Kuala Lumpur Guide & Day-By-Day Itinerary (up to 4 days)

Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur is the metropolitan heartbeat of Malaysia. From the old-world charm of the Sultan Abdul Samad building at Merdeka Square to the street food in Jalan Alor, it’s a city of contrasts. Take advantage of the wonderful food scene, from food courts and hawker centers to fine-dining restaurants. While you’re here, make sure to reserve your spot at some of the rooftops to get in the view of the skyline.

When to Visit Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia is a country located close to the equator in Southeast Asia. It's composed of two regions: Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia (also known as Malaysian Borneo).

Kuala Lumpur is the capital, located in Western Peninsular Malaysia. You can visit Kuala Lumpur year-round. However, the best times to visit are during its two peak seasons — from December to February and from May to August. These periods are drier with more comfortable temperatures, perfect for outdoor activities and exploring the city.

March to April and September to November experience heavier rainfalls and higher humidity in the afternoon, which might be less comfortable for outdoor activities but can offer discounts on accommodation. Not to mention, the rain comes in the afternoon so you have the day to explore, which is still great.
