[Travel] Top 6 Things to Do Around Sunway Putra Hotel Kuala Lumpur

What's there to do and see in KL? The city of Kuala Lumpur has much to offer, even for locals! Many residents of Klang Valley may not have explored these parts as well. Here are some of the top spots for both tourists and locals seeking to embark on a 'Cuti-cuti Malaysia experience' within a stone's throw from Sunway Putra Hotel.

MUD Kuala Lumpur

Learn the history of Kuala Lumpur through a culture-based musical at MUD KL! The theatre 'Panggung Bandaraya' was designed by A.B. Hubback in 1901 with a unique curved façade and a copper dome above the main porch. Before it was transformed into a theatre, it was Kuala Lumpur Sanitary Board's first official administration office and hosted many important meetings that shaped Kuala Lumpur’s early town planning. The family-friendly musicals are performed by an energetic cast with excellent interaction with the audience to keep everyone entertained.

Petronas Twin Towers

Standing at 451.9 metres, the 88-storey twin towers is a Malaysian icon and a must-visit for tourists. A wide array of shops are available for shopaholics alongside various local and international cuisines. You may also buy a ticket to grab the opportunity to explore the bridge connecting both towers on the 41st and 42nd floors. Try to be here during the early evening so you may get both daytime and night time photographs as the towers light up spectacularly at night. You may also enjoy a cool breeze at the adjacent park and fountain.

Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

The KL bird park is the largest free-flight, walk-in aviary in the world thus you are advised to allocate about 2-3 hours for this spot. Visitors get to have close encounters with the birds as they fly freely in the enclosure, resembling their natural habitat. Children find it especially thrilling as visitors are allowed to feed the birds and there will be plenty of close up photo opportunities.
