Ultimate Kuala Lumpur - Greatest things to do in the city

The Ultimate Kuala Lumpur Must do?

Being a resident tourist makes myself to explore everything, learn to apreciate what Malaysia has to offer to visitors and here are the Ultimate and greatest things you must do in Kuala Lumpur.

1). Sky High Petronas Tower

Experience the Ultimate Kuala Lumpur city view from Sky High. At 1,491 feet above the ground, the 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers stands out as one of the tallest buildings in the entire world. Going up the building, make a stop at the 41st Floor and enter into the ultimate sky bridge. This structure offers a magnificent view of the city so impressive. I would say it symbolizes an entry into Asia through Ultimate Kuala Lumpur.

Like a gateway or portal to this Pacific Paradise. I remember one football advertisement on TV where Ronaldinho kicked the ball and it passed between the two towers like a goal post.

A Lovely and creatively thought out advertisement that catches the eye of everyone watching.

As you enter into the tower you first go through Suria KLCC which is a shopper’s haven for Kuala Lumpur residents and tourists.

2). Ultimate Sky High Menara Kuala Lumpur

Also referred to as Kuala Lumpur Tower, this structure gives another magnificent view of the city at 1,389 feet above the ground. It’s an ultimate adventure for tourists local and international.

This structure was originally meant to be a communication tower but now offers an observation deck at the 911 feet mark. The advantage of taking your sky high adventure from Menara Kuala Lumpur is the 360 Degree view of the city.

Having a Language barrier? No problem. The tower offers Ultimate Kuala Lumpur multi language audio video guide that will take you through Kuala Lumpur’s landmarks and other exclusive attractions.

3). Ultimate Royal Treatment

The Royal Selangor Visitor centre was in inaugurated in the year 2004; it has won the Malaysian Tourism Best Tourist Attraction Award 2004 under the category of national identity attractions.

In 2005 it won the ASEAN Tourism Association Award for being the Best New Tourist Attractions. If you visit the centre you will see hundreds of visitors both local and international who go there daily to experience the ultimate Royal Treatment.

Its quite spacious and with its 40,000 square feet which houses Royal Selangor’s Giant Tankard which has won a Guinness Record as being the largest.

The place is divided into three major sections, The Gallery, Factory Tour and Retail Store. Located on 4 Jalan Usahawan 6, Setapak Jaya, there are free shuttle buses from the major Kuala Lumpur hotels.

Located at the KLCC, Petronas Gallery holds many exhibitions from local and international artists. A visit to this gallery exposes you to Malaysia Contemporary artworks dating back to a hundred years. It’s quite spacious with 20,000 sq. feet of art, this gallery is a must visit place in Kuala Lumpur.

5). Ultimate Nightlife Experiences

Take a walk or cab ride to the most happening place in town, Asian Heritage Row, home to many Kuala Lumpur clubs, discos, bars and restaurants like The Loft, Atrium and the Wine Room. Just 5 minutes ride from this place is Zouk Club, arguably the most happening and hippest club in Kuala Lumpur and as the heat goes on, treat your self to loud banging music at Jalan P ramlee at the Aloha, Beach Club, DV8, Modestos, Ruums, Nouvo, Thai club and Rum Jungle.

6). Marine Experience at the Aquaria KLCC

Love the deep sea life? Treat yourself to an adventure into the biggest Aquaria in Asia Pacific which features over 5000 fresh water and marine life animals.

As this exciting and fun journey begins, you are taken through highland streams, rain forests, coastal lands and finally sea. With a RM 39 tickets for adults and RM 26 for kids, you are given an option to become more adventurous and dive in with the animals like sharks and some of the greatest fish in Asia.

7). Ultimate Scientific Discovery

Visit the Petrosains – The Discovery centre at the fourth floor of Suria KLCC near to the food courts. It’s called the Interactive Science Discovery centre for all people.

You get to engage your 5 senses as you experience Ultimate science. The exhibits at Petrosains take you through a journey of Scientific Discovery, an entertainment which can last for hours. The journey involves time travel through civilization. One of the noticeable and ultimate Kuala Lumpur attractions is a singing Dinosaur which takes you back Millions of years.

They also take you through life of working in plantations as well as when Malaysia was first drilling for oil.

8). Islamic Treasure Trove

I once visited this place in a campus tour and I have to admit that it’s the ultimate Museum in Malaysia. The museum has a space of 27,000 sq Yds housing Islamic Arts.

I saw a replica of Taj Mahalal which is so famous among visitors. With an entrance fee of RM8 you get to see all the rare artifacts from different parts of the world. They also have a huge collection of Islamic manuscripts from past times. A major and Ultimate Kuala Lumpur attraction to this museum is the miniature of Ottoman Empire of turkey and Syria.
