Kuala Lumpur is a thriving metropolis offering lots of activities to the single traveller for family travel. This is a very popular destination for couples going for honeymoon. With a beautiful mix of people of various ethnic and religious background, one can immediately see diversity in cultural lifestyles and beautiful blend of traditional and modern. Malaysia has a rich cultural heritage and for a more keen traveller can explore areas like Penang and Malacca. 

• Bukit Bintang
• KLCC

If you do not like using public transport you can rent a mid-size to economy car for around 50RM per day from KL airport. Make sure you are fully insured when you rent a vehicle. The road conditions are pretty good. However, for newcomer driving without GPS is a practical nightmare. Rent GPS for extra 10RM and you are ready to rock. Some of the hotels in the city do not have parking, therefore, you might have to park in the metered parking outside. Watch out for the timing and always carry change. I stayed at Hotel Sempurana at Bukit Bintang. It was newly opened in 2008. Rooms were rather small but the service was very good and staff very friendly. Around the corner, you can find some other hotels around 80RM. 

You will be surprised by the nightlife of the KL city. Most street side restaurants open around 6 pm and stay open till 4 am in the morning. People socialize, chat, watch soccer matches while sipping tea Tarek and enjoying their meals. For a western, this might appear as a shocking experience where shopping centres close around 5 and nothing much happening during the weekdays. 

Here is a typical itinerary if your plan to explore KL in three days

Day 1

Stay at Bukit Bintang, visit Shopping centres in the neighbourhood. In the evening visit the bars in KLCC and visit Petronas tower. Later drive back to Bukit Bintang and find a nice restaurant for dinner while enjoying the crowds of fellow travellers in restaurants and bars.
