Top Attractions in Malaysia

From serenity to shopping, Malaysia offers hundreds of attractions. From the capital and largest city of Kuala Lumpur to the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia possesses what many believe to be their own personal paradise. Urban jungles, natural jungles, rainforest, mountains, vast seas and tropical islands are all within a few hours of one another. Hopefully you have a nice chunk of time devoted to your Malaysia exploration, yet if time is of the essence, consider a few of these top attractions.

Petronas Towers, Malaysia

Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the Petronas Towers are the tallest skyscrapers in the world! For the early riser, it is worth heading to the building grounds to grab free tickets for a tour that will place you on the 41st story foot bridge between the two monstrous buildings. From the 41st floor, you’ll be able to scan the layout of the city, as well as admire how much higher the buildings actually extend into the sky. Visitors are not allowed to reach the tower summits, yet the photo ops from the bridge are spectacular in their own right. Many of the top group tours in Malaysia make a visit to the Towers.


Malaysia's Chinatown

You can enjoy the sights and sounds of Kuala Lumpur throughout the day, and then head to Chinatown as the heat breaks in the late afternoon. If you are looking for authenticity, you’ll find it here! It’s boisterous, crowded, fun and full of deals on everything from jewelry to clothing. And of course, you’ll find great Chinese food, too!

Mulu Caves, Malaysia

Located in the East Malaysian state of Sarawak, not far from the Indonesian border, the Mulu caves offer incredible outdoor exploration, even for those who are a bit claustrophobic. Huge openings lead to another world that exists below. The caves are home to many cave-dwelling species, and caves such as Clearwater cave, offer the weary explorer the perfect opportunity to take a dip in nature’s pristine waters during their Malaysia tourism experience.

Cameron Highlands

You may feel that you’re lost in a green crayon if you spend too much time in this gorgeous setting. The blue sky, warm temperatures and lush, green hills and forests envelope you. There are some incredible tours available designed for activities from picking strawberries to exploring the jungle by foot, jeep or even by raft. Although you’re not but a couple hours from a vast urban environment, you will feel worlds away.

Malaysia flights will bring you to a land that is worthy of exploration. If you prefer a true adventure, simply walk out the door of your local accommodations and you’ll find numerous options presented to you!
