Despite all the efforts of the Malaysian Tourism Department, Kuala Lumpur, although trying to become a favorite tourist city, it turns out badly. No, everyone knows about him, and, of course, tourists are there.
But more often, Kuala Lumpur is the place where tourists usually are as a transshipment point, on their way to another place where the beaches and palm trees. And about your own Kuala Lumpursky charms everyone somehow forget. And in vain! Of course, there are almost no incredible attractions in Kuala Lumpur, and the city can not boast a long and confusing history (Kuala Lumpur was founded in 1857), it is quite possible to relax in this glorious capital, that's certain.
Of course, the problem for each tourist is as they say, separating the grains from the whores, especially if you are very limited in time. Here are some tips on what to do and where to go to Kuala Lumpur if you have only 24 hours:
The most iconic landmark and the attraction of the city - Towers Petronas (The Petronas Towers).
The towers offer the best views of the capital. Visit these "twins" is, as a rule, large queues and frequent disappointments. If you are lucky enough and quickly bought a ticket (costs somewhere 80-100 ringgits), then the main climax of this round is -10 minutes on the 41st floor of the bridge connecting two towers. Such experience leads many people to the perfect delight. But do not forget that there is another observation deck, on Menara KL. (The fourth world height in the world, height, 421 meters, is located at No. 2 Jalan Punchak): Perhaps it is it that it offers the best views of the city, although the ticket is also coatd.
An alternative way to explore the attractions - dine in a rotating restaurant on the top of the tower. Although, it is necessary to think, there is also expensive. But two in one.
Kuala Lumpur also has a number of decent museums and art galleries, but a undoubted gem in this crown - ISLAMIC ARTS MUSEUM Museum (Islamic Arts Museum) In Jalan Lembah Perdana.
The museum has more than 7,000 artifacts of a permanent collection - from exquisite jewels to large models of mosques. The entrance is somewhere 12 ringgitis.
Many tourists are disappointed with the noise and gamas of the popular Petaling Street Market bazaar, which they write everything. And by the way, they ignore one of the real pleasures of the capital: walking along Chinatown, Chinese Quarter (Chinatown).
While most of the architectural monuments of Old Kuala Lumpur was demolished in a rapid rush to modernity and novelty, Chinatown managed to maintain this atmosphere of past years, while this area did not turn into a sterile museum exhibit in the open sky.
Nevertheless, new buildings of the capital - too, even a spectacle! Especially at night. Probably the best place to evaluate the modern Kuala Lumpur - in Sky Bar On the 33rd floor of the traders hotel's highway.
Prices for drinks there are high, the maintenance is so-so (but maybe you are still lucky), but all these minor troubles are moving into the background when you see these stunning views of the city, and especially the twin shimmering towers.
Returning from the skies to the ground and go to Jalan alor. , Street of Kuala Lumpur restaurants.
Jalan Alor has dozens of Chinese restaurants and food trays with all sorts of goodies.That is, try everything that you may not bring at all, it is worth it. I will like everything without exception. Although it is rather noisy and very crowded, but in this and its own charm. They say, in the place where many Chinese visitors are likely to prepare a good meal. Oh well!
That places you can run in Kuala Lumpur, if you do not have time! So, at least, you will get at least some impression of the city.
