Download Kuala Lumpur Pocket Guide View all guides »Malaysia have a lot places to feel different culture which is what i like. But definitely be careful if you are not familiar with this city.

I've been to KL several different times during my gap year travels and have always found new things to love about the place. When I am weary of backpacking, being in KL is akin to taking a break and being at a city back home in the states.

Insider Tip:As is true with traveling to any foreign place, it's supremely better to be shown around by a local. If possible, I'd recommend using a site like couchsurfing to find people willing to show you the things about their city you might miss if you went alone.
