✅Best-Selling travel gear https://amzn.to/38gyCFi 😃Booking.com Deals http://bit.ly/Bookingdeals If you’re passing through Kuala Lumpur in transit, or as part of a longer trip to Malaysia, give yourself more time than you think in the capital because this city is wildly underrated. Here are 10 things to do in Kuala Lumpur in a Budget. Marvel at the Sri Mahamariamman Temple. And perfectly exemplifying the cultural diversity of Malaysia’s capital, just around the corner from the Chinese Sin Sze Si Ya Temple, is Sri Mahamariamman Temple, a beautifully decorated Hindu place of worship. Again free to enter, this 23m tall structure was founded in 1873, making it the possibly the oldest Hindu Temple not only in KL but the whole of Malaysia. Feast at Madras Lane & Jalan Petaling. The place for a cheap feed in Chinatown, pull up a chair at breakfast or lunch (for Madras Lane) or dinner (for Jalan Petaling) and get ready to scoff yourself silly with plenty of locals among these makeshift street stalls. Certainly one of the best things to do in Kuala Lumpur on a budget, this is a cultural experience and a belly-filler all in one! Caffeinate at Merchants Lane. A favourite with the trendy (read. Instagram) crowd, nevertheless these guys do a sterling espresso, which you can enjoy amidst a historic setting – this place is actually a renovated brothel but doesn’t let that put you off! Hidden away, Merchant’s Lane can be tricky to find, so just look for the unsigned, green door situated between the Advance Tertiary College and Sin Chew Daily Witness Masjid Jamek. Situated at the confluence of the Gombak and Klang Rivers, displaying some beautiful architecture and oozing with history, this was the first brick Mosque in Malaysia built-in 1907. It’s open to non-Muslims daily, except Friday, and is free to enter, just make sure you are dressed appropriately – long trousers, long sleeves and ladies, heads need to be covered. Take in the River of Life Right in front of the Masjid Jamek is what has now been called the River of Life. Beautifully done up, the waterway here, which forms the heart of Kuala Lumpur, has been well landscaped with delightful bridges and some pretty cool steam displays. The best place to take it all is definitely from the bridge along Leboh Pasar Besar. Enjoy a Free Heritage Trail. The tourism office in KL has brilliantly set up a free heritage trail that you can undertake in around 3 hours. It covers 11 important sites around Merdeka Square, helping you learn more about the history and culture of this global city. Stroll Through the Islamic Arts Museum. There’s a couple of great museums in this city and seeing at least one of them is definitely one of the best things to do in Kuala Lumpur. If you’re in, or near, the Perdana Botanical Gardens, then the obvious choice is the Islamic Arts Museum, which has a beautiful collection, housed in an equally stunning building and costs 14 RM to enter. See the National Mosque. A bustling place, it’s open to non-Muslims every day until 6:30, except Friday mornings, and is free to enter. Just remember to dress appropriately and take your wide-angle lens, because this place is huge and can apparently fit over 15,000 worshippers inside Wander the KLCC Park. Alternatively, the charming KLCC Park is another, yes another, free green space in this city and boasts several lovely walking trails around its lakes and bridges. This place also has a great view of the Petronas Towers and gets packed of evening time, when locals and tourists alike descend to enjoy the free Lake Symphony Fountains display and get a snap of the Towers all lit up behind. Be Impressed by the Petronas Towers. At 60 storeys tall, the IHLAM building is pretty impressive, but it must be said that it’s still dwarfed by the incredible Petronas Towers, which are over 80 storeys tall and the tallest twin towers in the world. Book tickets online in advance to enjoy views from high up the towers, or else settle for snapping them from nearby KLCC Park, which gives great views both day and night.
