When most people think of Malaysia, they tend to think of fantastical cityscapes, thanks in no small part to the distinctive and imposing skyline of the capital, Kuala Lumpur. But the country is home to much more than just high-energy cities. Leave the urban limits behind to discover charming colonial towns, tropical islands and sun-soaked beaches. Buzzing Kuala Lumpur’s most recognizable landmarks are probably the Petronas Towers, a pair of majestic twin towers that soar to a height of 1,483 feet (452 meters). Ascend to the viewing platform to admire breathtaking city views. The more manageably sized colonial city of Melaka is another much-loved tourist hotspot. Haggle at Jonker Walk Night Market and wander around the UNESCO-listed historic center. For a break among nature, head for Borneo’s Mount Kinabalu, one of the highest mountains in Southeast Asia. Embark on a 2-day hike and enjoy a picture-perfect sunrise on the second morning. Other must-try outdoor pursuits include a walk across Langkawi Sky Bridge. One of the longest curved suspension bridges in the world, it offers unrivalled views of Langkawi’s lush jungle canopy. Marvel at apes in the Semenggoh Nature Reserve, which has a conservation center dedicated to protecting and rehabilitating orphaned or previously captive orangutans. A wide variety of feathered species also reside here, making it an ideal spot for birdwatching. Malaysian cuisine, which fuses Indian, Chinese and homegrown flavours, has earned global renown. Slurp bowls of laksa (spicy noodle soup) and try nasi lemak (coconut milk rice). Kuala Lumpur International Airport is the largest Malaysian airport, although many domestic and international flights also arrive and depart in Penang International Airport. The many public transportation options in Malaysia means you can travel comfortably by bus or train between towns and cities. In Kuala Lumpur, make use of the efficient monorail system. Visit Malaysia between March and June, when local children are not on vacation and humidity levels are low, for the most pleasant sightseeing experience. Shining cities and tropical rainforests sit side-by-side in this fascinating Southeast Asian country. ### Popular cities in Malaysia [Kuala LumpurKnown for Shopping, Dining and Family-friendly](https://expedia.ca/Kuala-Lumpur.dx180008) Malaysia’s bustling, multicultural capital is home to some of the country’s most impressive buildings, key historical and cultural sites, and world-class shopping. ## Reasons to visit - Pavilion Kuala Lumpur - Petronas Twin Towers - Petaling Street [Explore city](https://expedia.ca/Kuala-Lumpur.dx180008)[Find hotels](https://expedia.ca/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels.d180008.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [George TownKnown for Dining, Shopping and Beaches](https://expedia.ca/George-Town.dx6023813) ## Reasons to visit - Pinang Peranakan Mansion - Penang City Hall - Gurney Drive [Explore city](https://expedia.ca/George-Town.dx6023813)[Find hotels](https://expedia.ca/George-Town-Hotels.d6023813.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [Malacca CityKnown for Shopping, Dining and Family-friendly](https://expedia.ca/Malacca-City.dx2340) ## Reasons to visit - Malacca River - Jonker Street Night Market - Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall [Explore city](https://expedia.ca/Malacca-City.dx2340)[Find hotels](https://expedia.ca/Malacca-City-Hotels.d2340.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [Kota KinabaluKnown for Swimming, Islands and Marinas](https://expedia.ca/Kota-Kinabalu.dx602) Sabah’s capital is a laid-back, oceanfront city not far from towering Mount Kinabalu, traditional villages and a spectacular marine park. ## Reasons to visit - Suria Sabah Shopping Mall - Kota Kinabalu Esplanade [Explore city](https://expedia.ca/Kota-Kinabalu.dx602)[Find hotels](https://expedia.ca/Kota-Kinabalu-Hotels.d602.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [KuchingKnown for Rivers, Seafood and Jungles](https://expedia.ca/Kuching.dx6142141) Sarawak’s capital city is filled with palaces, forts and temples, and is the gateway to the national parks and thriving orangutan habitats. ## Reasons to visit - Kuching Waterfront - Bako National Park [Explore city](https://expedia.ca/Kuching.dx6142141)[Find hotels](https://expedia.ca/Kuching-Hotels.d6142141.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [Johor BahruKnown for Shopping, Family-friendly and Swimming](https://expedia.ca/Johor-Bahru.dx6142145) [Explore city](https://expedia.ca/Johor-Bahru.dx6142145)[Find hotels](https://expedia.ca/Johor-Bahru-Hotels.d6142145.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Popular places to visit ![Petronas Twin Towers](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/541000/541674-petronas-twin-towers.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Petronas Twin Towers Enjoy the view from the observation deck on the 86th floor, atop the world’s tallest twin skyscrapers. ![KLCC Park featuring a pond, a skyscraper and a garden](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/40000/40607-Klcc-Park.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### KLCC Park Relax by the lake as you gaze at the city skyline or wander the grounds to see statues, water features and landscaped gardens.
