Kuala Lumpur in 72 Hours: Where to Go, Eat and Snap The Perfect Shot

#kualalumpurguide

Planning a trip to Kuala Lumpur? This city is a blend of futuristic skyscrapers, heritage streets, and food that hits your soul. Here’s how I made the most of 3 days in KL – and some tips I wish I knew earlier!

🏙️ Day 1: Must-See Icons
- Start at Petronas Twin Towers: go early (before 9AM) for that postcard-perfect shot. I booked my ticket through Ctrip and skipped the queue!
- KLCC Park is a peaceful escape with fountains and skyline views - don’t miss the photo spot by the Symphony Lake.
- Suria KLCC is perfect for lunch or souvenir shopping.
- KL Tower SkyDeck gives you unbeatable 360° views of the city (go right before sunset).
- At night, head to Bukit Bintang. Jalan Alor is heaven for street food lovers. I had the best grilled stingray here for just RM20!

🕌 Day 2: Culture & Temples
- Morning: Batu Caves is not just photogenic - it’s spiritual. The rainbow stairs and the golden statue are iconic. Pro tip: wear something modest and bring water!
- Afternoon: Dive into heritage at the Islamic Arts Museum – it’s quiet, air-conditioned, and beautifully curated.
- Walk over to Merdeka Square and explore nearby colonial buildings and the Sultan Abdul Samad Building.
- End your day at Thean Hou Temple - gorgeous architecture, especially at sunset. It's one of KL’s hidden gems.

🌿 Day 3: Local Life + Chill Vibes
- Morning: Wander through Kampung Baru, a charming village surrounded by skyscrapers. Grab a nasi lemak breakfast from a roadside stall.
- Afternoon: Walk the canopy trail at KL Forest Eco Park - a slice of jungle in the middle of the city!
- Evening: Celebrate your trip at Heli Lounge Bar. It’s an actual helipad that transforms into a rooftop bar. Views? Unreal. Cocktails? Worth it.

🧳 Quick Travel Tips:
- Use Grab or the LRT for easy, budget-friendly travel.
- It’s hot & humid year-round - pack light clothes, sunscreen, and a foldable umbrella.
- Budget: RM150–250/day
- Best Photo Spots: KL Tower SkyDeck, Heli Lounge, Batu Caves
- Must-Try Foods: Roti canai, nasi lemak, grilled stingray, Milo ais!

✨Kuala Lumpur surprised me with how easy it was to explore and how friendly the locals are. Whether you're into temples, city views, or food hunting - KL delivers.
