The Tribe's opinion

KL is a very pleasant city, especially compared to its other big big neighbours. What I like most in the city, as well as in the country in general, is the melting-pot of Malay, Chinese and Indian lifestyles, clothes and food. It seems it's all made for a traveller's pleasure!

And yes, it's also a city where you can do very different things. From ultramodern shopping malls (which means huge libraries!) to random museums to interesting and varied religious sites. And, again, food!

Kuala Lumpur is a mixed bag of delights - from tech toddlers to complete poverty, all within 10 steps of each other. Amazing food and a truly multi cultural city where everyone seems to get along. It's not the easiest city to get around on foot but it does have a great public transport system which can guide you through the city - this means aimless wandering isn't easy stopping you from 'stumbling across' unexpected experiences. Eat, watch and enjoy the mix of KL.

Kuala Lumpur is worth a Stop, but you get to see everything in one or two days. Transport is cheap in KL so just take a taxi for a day of sightseeing that will save you a big hassle with the local transports.
