What to visit in Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur offers a variety of completely different tours. Most of the walks are of course in the center, where you will be surrounded by tall skyscrapers. However, you will also find a number of natural beauties on the outskirts of the city, including the world-famous Batu Cave. If it rains, which happens almost every day in Kuala Lumpur at least for a while, it's worth visiting the local aquarium, for example.
Tour of Batu Cave

On the very northern outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, you will find one of the biggest attractions in all of Malaysia – the gigantic Batu Cave.
