Kuala Lumpur or KL as it's commonly called, is the capital city of Malaysia. Spanning over 243 square kilometres, KL has first-rate hotels, excellent and varied cuisines, and a lively blend of cultures, architectural styles that range from Moorish to Tudor to modern, a generally efficient infrastructure, and some of the lowest prices of any major Asian city.
KL can be described as a cross between Singapore and Bangkok on a smaller scale. It has the efficiency of Singapore and the rough edges of Bangkok, creating its own unique charm. English is widely spoken and the streets tend to be safe due to the heavy police presence in most tourist areas.
The cheapest and fastest way to get around Kuala Lumpur Malaysia varies and there is no shortage of transport options available for either holiday makers or corporate travellers. The KLIA Express is an efficient service that links the airport to KL city centre (KL Sentral Station). The first train leaves at 5:00am and the last is at midnight from both KLIA and KL Sentral. Journey time between KLIA and KL Sentral is 28 minutes and tickets are 35RM per person one-way. Journey time by taxi is 1 hour and fare is about 90RM one-way.
