Kuala Lumpur has an extensive metro system which is covered by three rail networks. But with such a short time, it may be better if you use Grab Taxi, as it is very inexpensive, or consider buying the Hop Of Hop Off Bus. Today’s itinerary will comprise mostly outdoor areas, so be sure to stay hydrated, bring a sun hat or umbrella for shade.
Places to Visit
The Federal Territory Mosque
We start our day at The Federal Territory Mosque, while it is a little out of the way, I found that it was still worth a stop because of how well the free tour guides do regarding telling you about the mosque and islamic religion. Come with your questions, and listening ears.
Perdana Botanical Gardens
We take a grab taxi next to the Perdana Botanical Gardens. This garden is part of an even larger park, where we will be finding all our stops today. Come early to beat the heat, and enjoy an array of plants and green spaces, with plenty of paths to walk and explore
Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park/KL Bird Park
Next we choose from the butterfly park or the bird park, both are good options, but I leave it to you to choose which peaks your interest more. The Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park is the largest of its kind in the world with over 5000 live butterflies and exotic plants. Much like the butterfly park, KL Bird Park has over 3000 birds, what makes this park so amazing, is that in different parts of the park, the birds fly free
National Mosque of Malaysia
With the capacity of over 15,000, you can spot this mosque from far away because of its striking blue color. We see this option on day 1 of our itinerary, but I add it here in case you didn’t choose to go there on day 1.
Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia
Escape the heat and explore the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia which offers thousands of relics on display, as well as jewelry and a scale model of the holy site of Mecca. The inside of the building itself is also very beautiful
KL Tower
If you still have the energy head over to the Kuala Lumpur Tower, for a sky view of the city. You have the option of an observation deck and even a fine dining experience! Make sure to book online, to ensure that you have a spot saved.

Common Questions
It is recommended you spend minimum 3 days in the capital of Kuala Lumpur to enjoy all the main tourist spots
There are many options available for transportation in KL. There is a free tourist line, and many metro lines. But if your time is limited I suggest using Grab Taxi, a faster an inexpensive way to travel in Malaysia.
I recommend SunshineBedz Hostel, the hostel is very central to the famous Jalan Alor Food Street and a bar street.
