World Treasures in Islamic Arts Museum

Kuala Lumpur doesn’t only build luxurious and modern skyscrapers. Being Malaysian, this city also doesn’t always offer Malaysian heritage or local art and historical tourist attractions. Occupying 30,000 square meters, Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia is a place you must visit when you’re traveling to Kuala Lumpur.
                Getting there is easy. You can choose from taking a bus or simply by hiring a cab. The bus will drop you right at the main street, where you can walk for about 10 minutes inside to reach the museum. When you start seeing signage of the Butterfly Farm, Bird Park, Planetarium, Orchid Farm, and the National Mosque, then you are on the right direction. The museum is surrounded by all those attractions, in the middle of the green scenery, maintained with the turquoise-colored domes that are currently a new landmark of Kuala Lumpur.

A Perfect Day Out in KLCC for Travelers

One of the fun things people must do in Kuala Lumpur is arranging an outing with their family or fellow travelers.  This city always offers variety of activities to do during weekends and also weekdays. If they cannot make it during daytime, they can instead go for it at night.

A perfect outing involves a venue that is active the whole day, and for that, one should pick Kuala Lumpur City Centre or KLCC. This area is fully funded by Malaysian national petroleum and gas company, Petronas. Getting to KLCC is very easily; one just simply needs to take the low transit railway or LRT train and stop at KLCC station. From there, climb up the elevator and they will be inside of it already. Instead, if they’re coming with a car that they drive on your own, there is a spacious and comfortable parking underneath the basements. They can collect the ticket at the parking entrance, or simply pass through using a Touch N Go card, which is much easier to use since they won’t have to find an Autopay machine later.
