Kuala Lumpur - consider all the adventures you could have

Before you cozy up in the airport for a long layover in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, consider all the adventures you could have outside the terminal walls.

Kuala Lumpur is the national capital and most populous city in Malaysia, Asia. The city covers an area of 243 km2 and has an estimated population of 1.6 million as of 2010.

Kuala Lumpur is a busy city with ordered skyscrapers, six-lane highways, colonial architecture and lots of greenery. Home to the Petronas Twin Towers, it is a shopping paradise with some of Southeast Asia’s largest shopping malls, housing the world’s top brands, and street markets where you can get one-of-a-kind items.

Literally meaning "muddy river confluence" in Malay, Kuala Lumpur has grown from a small sleepy Chinese tin-mining village to a bustling metropolis of around 6.5 million (city-proper population of 1.8 million) in just 150 years. A cultural melting pot with some of the world's cheapest 5-star hotels, great shopping, even better food and some of nature's wonders in just an hour away, this dynamic city has much to offer for every visitor.
