Istana Negara

An outstanding architectural masterpiece embedded on the city's horizon, the Istana Negara Palace is one of the most emblematic landmarks of the city. Established in 2011 replacing the old Istana Negara (which is now an elaborate museum), this regal edifice bears an ornate amalgam of Islamic, Malay and Western architectural styles. Ornamented with rolling, verdant lawns, the palace served as the official abode of Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah, the then monarch of Malaysia. The palace is guarded by sturdy, wrought-iron gates, its insides complete with a tapestry of sharp arches, opulent rooms, and artifacts chronicling the majesty and legacy of the monarch. Crowned by more than 20 gleaming golden domes, the palace is, indubitably, the crowned jewel of Kuala Lumpur.

National Museum (Muzium Negara)

After gaining its independence in August of 1957, the Federation of Malaya, the Malaysian federal government, decided to build the museum on the site of the old Selangor Museum. Construction began in 1959 and the doors opened in August of 1963. It is a place that houses and recounts Malaysia's rich cultural and historical heritage.

Perdana Botanical Gardens

A serene sanctum nestled in the heart of the city, this garden ensemble dates to as far back as the colonial times when they were used as a hideaway by those who wanted to get away from the din of the city. The brainchild of Alfred Venning, the British State Treasurer in the 1880s, this botanical garden is yet the city dweller's favorite rendezvous retreat. The park opened its doors in 1991, and has, since then, been a canvas of unabashed wilderness interweaved with pleasant bouts of idyll. Complete with a tapestry of sprawling green lawns, rolling hills, a jubilant fountain and vibrant patches of blooming flowers, the gardens are as much entrenched in botanical beauty as they are in recreational pleasure. Sprawling across acres and acres, these gardens shelter an array of fascinating sites like an orchid garden, a hibiscus garden, a deer park, and the teeming Kuala Lumpur Bird Park. The ornamental Perdana Lake forms the centerpiece of these gardens which is traversed by motley walking trails, trams and curious bicycles alike.

Merdeka Square

The Merdeka Square (Dataran Merdeka) was once a focal point and cricket pitch for the British colonial present in Malaysia. The structures bordering the Dataran Merdeka resemble the physical environment of the colonists' native land. Situated on one corner of the square is the Selangor Club, replicating the Tudors of merry old England. It was at this square in 1957 that the Union Jack was lowered and the Malayan flag hoisted, signaling Malaysia's independence as a nation. A 95-meter (311.68-feet) flagpole, one of the tallest in the world, marks the spot.

Batu Caves

The Batu Caves are one of the holiest Hindu shrines in Malaysia. The Caves are popular not only for being the southernmost limestone outcrop in the Northern Hemisphere, but the labyrinth that makes up the Batu Caves also supports a variety of native wildlife. There is a 272-step concrete staircase leading to the temple cave. The main cave holds a shrine of Lord Subramaniam, a Hindu deity. A cave gallery is located at the foot of the caves featuring clay figurines and wall paintings depicting scenes and figures from Hindu mythology. During the festival of Thaipusam dedicated to Lord Murugan and celebrated on a full moon night, the caves are flooded with worshippers paying their respects in their festive best.
