Petronas Twin Towers

No traveler should miss a visit to the Petronas Twin Towers. The tallest buildings in the world, the Towers have been one of Malaysia's most famous landmarks for over a decade. Those who are not afraid of heights will never forget an enjoyable stroll across the 15 foot high connecting bridge that takes guests from one tower to the next. This attraction also offers the ideal backdrop for fantastic photo opportunities.

The Masjid Negara is Malaysia's National Mosque and is an impressive sight to behold. Boasting approximately 13 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and space for up to 15,000 individuals, it is an attraction that belongs on every visitor's must-see list.

Batu Caves

Kuala Lumpur's Batu Caves are natural wonders that draw visitors from throughout Asia each year. After climbing approximately 300 steps, guests are rewarded by coming face-to-face with the impressive Golden Murugan statue, the latter of which marks the entrance to the Cathedral Cave, which is the largest of all the Batu Caves. Impressively decorated cathedral ceilings and ornate Hindu shrines are found inside the Caves, making this landmark a unique, unforgettable location for anyone with an interest in natural wonders or archaeology.
