Diversity is the defining characteristic of the Malaysian capital – glittering skyscrapers and traditional houses sit alongside glitzy shopping malls and street-side vendors.

Take in the view of the KL skyline from one of many rooftop bars, and sink your teeth into the heady flavours (and all-day availability) of Malay, Chinese and Indian food that make up the country’s inimitable cuisine.
