Best vacation spots and activities

The Petronas Twin Towers, formerly the highest structures in the world (and remain the tallest twin towers), are the city's most recognizable landmark. Visitors may walk across the Skybridge, one of the world's tallest suspension bridges, and then go even higher to the observation deck near the summit of the towers. It's a good idea to look up the opening hours and buy tickets ahead of time. You can do so by visiting the Towers' official website.

Jamek Mosque is one of Kuala Lumpur's oldest and most magnificent mosques, also known as Masjid Jamek.
