Kuala Lumpur Guide

Petronas Towers >>> Hotels nearby Petronas Twin Tower Anchoring the sprawling Kuala Lumpur City
Centre, are the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. Hailed as the Twin Jewels of Kuala Lumpur, a visit to KL just
is not complete unless you have visited these doppelganger structures. The 88-storey chrome and steel
towers are joined at the 41st and 42nd floors (175m above street level) by a 58m-long, double-decker Sky
Bridge.
View from Above Set on Level 86 is Petronas Twin Towers' observation deck, where visitors can get a
close-up view of the tower's spire as well as digital displays and exhibit of the tower's history. The double-
decked Sky bridge at the Petronas Twin Towers is one of its major draws as it offers amazing views of the
city. Apart from allowing tenants of the towers to move from one building to the other without having to go
to ground level, the Sky bridge also functions as an emergency exit route. Do note a pass is required to enter
the bridge, so make sure to get there early as queues can be long. Opening Hours: 09:00 – 19:00 (closed for
Friday prayers 13:00 – 14:30) Location: Near Concorde Hotel Monorail stop, in between Jalan Ampang and
Jalan Raja Chulan

skewers which are used to pierce the skin, cheeks and tongue.

JCO Donut Pavilion 168 LL1. 05, Pavilion KL, Jln Bukit Bintang Kuala Lumpur - 55100

Mid Valley Megamall open in 1999, is one of the world's largest retail spaces.
While it can't match Bukit Bintang malls for high-end luxury, Mid Valley is one of KL's most popular malls
for its abundance of affordable shopping -- not to mention a huge array of stores and restaurants (430 and
counting), 18-screen cineplex, large Metrojaya and Aeon department stores and exhibition center.
There are two food courts, but those in the know head to Oasis on the second floor, where the prices are
cheap, and food more authentic.
If you really need an upmarket fix, you can walk across the connecting passageway to The Gardens Mall.

New York has one, as does Hong Kong, so it only makes sense that KL -- arguably Southeast Asia's
shopping capital -- has a Times Square.
Highlights include Malaysia's largest indoor theme park, split between family-friendly and adult-only rides;
a Taipei-style night market on the third floor, complete with flashing neon signs, manholes and food stalls;
and the Grand Musical Stairs, where you can pretend to be Tom Hanks in the movie "Big," as you make
your own music on giant keys.
All this and much more in what claims to be the world's ninth largest building in terms of floor space.

Suria KLCC

Inside mega mall Suria KLCC.

For those who judge malls by the height of the
buildings that sit on top them, Suria is a clear winner.
Suria KLCC is close to the top -- or should that be
basement -- of KL's shopping greats.
This luxury mall occupies the bottom six podium floors
of the Petronas Twin Towers, and their 170-meter-high
Skybridge.
It has everything from luxury goods to everyday items, including branches of Parkson, Isetan, Cold Storage
and Marks & Spencer, a fantastic food court, a cineplex, a huge branch of Kinokuniya bookstore and a fun-
filled Science Discovery Centre and aquarium.
The adjoining KLCC Park has water fountains and a two-acre playground.

9. Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

Pavilion is a shopper's paradise.
If Suria KLCC has a rival in the upscale shopping
stakes, it's Pavilion.
Since early 2012, the two malls have been connected
by an air-conditioned walkway, which makes getting
between the two a breeze.
Pavilion is as much known for its dining as its
shopping, with a range of casual places (Fish & Co.,
Din Tai Fung, Madam Kwan's) and fine dining
restaurants, such as Al-Amar (Lebanese cuisine) and
Spice of India.
Where it really wins is with its location -- it's at the top of Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur's most famous
shopping street, lined with a dozen different malls.

Sungei Wang Plaza – The first place I head to when I arrive in KL is Sungei Wang Plaza. A shopping mall
in the Golden Triangle, right next to Bukit Bintang monorail station, Sungei Wang has hundreds of stalls
and shops selling cheap clothes. I’ve ended up with great deals on fashion t-shirts, skirts, shorts and even
dress blouses and professional shoes for work.

The mall is, of course, targeted towards younger shoppers so, for the over 50 crowd, you won’t find as much
as younger women will. For trendy clothing, shoes, and accessories though, you can’t beat Sungei Wang.
Prices begin at 15 ringgits (around $4.75) for t shirts and 20 ringgits ($6.25) for casual pants and skirts.
Don’t miss the 2-for-1 sales too.

You can spend a whole day at Sungei Wang Plaza as, not only is it packed with clothing shops, it’s got some
decent restaurants and cafes too. So, when you need a break, grab a coffee or lunch before you head back
looking for the good deal.

opening Hours: Open daily, 10am-10pm Address: Sungei Wang Plaza SWP Box No. 009, Jalan Bukit
Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur.

2. Berjaya Times Square Mall for fashion and accessories

If buying branded labels is your thing, then don’t even bother with
bargain shopping. Finding pre-loved stores selling branded labels is
your best bet, but the choices are low. But if you are not into labels,
head on down to Berjaya Times Square Shopping Mall. Almost
every floor on this mall is filled with boutiques selling affordable
shoes, clothes, accessories, bags and other fashionable items. One
can purchase a cocktail dress for as low as RM25, or fake leather
boots for RM60. Bags are a plenty and are all priced below RM40.
And of course, you will come across stalls selling beautiful earrings
for as low as RM10 for 3 or 4 pairs.

Opening Hours: Daily, 10:00 – 22:00 Location: Opposite Melia

Hotel and Amoda building. You can exit straight into the shopping mall from Imbi Monorail Station.
Address: 1 Jalan Imbi, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Tel: +603 2117 3111

4. Central Market for souvenirs and handicrafts

Whether you’re a local, expat or tourist, shopping for souvenirs and

local handicrafts is a must when in Malaysia. The best place to do
this is at Central Market, opposite the Pasar Seni LRT station.
Central Market is home to stalls selling souvenirs such as key
chains, figurines, t-shirts, shoes, unique timepieces, bags, cute knick
knacks, local handicraft such as batik, songket, wau, household
decorations and more. Items here are reasonably priced and some
places don’t mind if you bargain a little with them.

If you are seeking branded goods at discounted prices (Massimo Dutti, Nike, Coach, etc) - head to Mitsui
Outlet Park KLIA SEPANG (near KLIA) or Johor Premium Outlets (3 hours from KL)

If you are seeking unbranded, imitation products - head to Petaling Street
