1. Menara (KL Tower) is a tall television tower in Kuala Lumpur. It has a Sky Box — these are glass "boxes" that stick out from the tower, and you can walk on them, like on an observation deck.

2. Next to Menara is the free KL Eco Forest Park with suspension bridges and a paid mini-zoo KL Tower Mini Zoo.

3. Masjid Jamek Mosque is the oldest in the city, built back in 1909. It is free for tourists, you can enter at a strictly defined time. Women are given a hijab, men - pants-skirt. Shoes must be removed before entering.

4. Merdeka Square is a historical place where Malaysia declared independence from the British in 1957. There is also a beautiful palace of Sultan Abdul Samad.

5. National Mosque Masjid Negara — the main mosque of the country.

6. Indian quarter near KL Sentral station, Jalan Tun Sambanthan street — there are Indian shops, cafes and a bar with Indian beer and rum.

7. Batu Caves — 13 km from the city, you can get there by metro (LRT) inexpensively, about half an hour. Entrance is free. There is a huge statue of the god Hanuman and 272 steps to the temple. Be careful: there are many monkeys that can steal things.

8. Petronas Twin Towers — two 88-storey buildings in the center. Nearby there is a beautiful green area with a free children's pool, a pump room with drinking water and singing fountains in the evenings (from 7 pm to 10 pm with different shows).

9. Jalan Alor — a street with street food. Not very good during the day, but in the evening a cool night market opens. The Bukit Bintang area is home to bars, clubs and entertainment.
