5. Merdeka Square
The city’s most famous historical colonial buildings line up the streets around the square-and many are open to visitors or make for beautiful photo backgrounds. The Sultan Abdul Samad Building, heavily influenced by Moorish style, houses the Ministry of Information, Communication, and Culture of Malaysia, while the nearby Kuala Lumpur City Gallery tells the story of the city through miniature models and innovative exhibits.
6. Sunway Lagoon Theme Park
While Sunway started as a water park, it now also includes five additional zones: an Amusement Park (with rollercoasters, carousels and other rides); a Wildlife Park, a Scream Park with a massive haunted house; an Extreme Park (where you’ll find ATV rides, bungee jumping, and paintball); and an area known as Nickelodeon’s Lost Lagoon, which is specially designed for the younger visitors.
