Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Explore the culture and heritage of Kuala Lumpur during this full-day sightseeing tour via coach and on foot.

King Palace

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 90-minute drive to King Palace for a photo stop, official residence of the Yang-di-Petuan Agong, the Monarch of Malaysia.

Independence Square & Jamek Mosque

Then proceed to the Independence Square. The former site of the Royal Selangor Club, Independence Square overlooks the main historical buildings of the city. After a photo stop here, walk over to the Jamek Mosque. Built in 1909, it is the oldest mosque in Kuala Lumpur, and features graceful arches and domes that are reminiscent of Moorish architecture.

Central Market, Sze Yeh Temple & Chinatown

Your walk continues on to the Central Market. Once a bustling wet market, this heritage building houses many shops offering antique clocks, jewellery, gems, woodcarvings, batik, pewter, and more. From here, walk to Chinatown for a visit to the Sze Yeh Temple, believed to be the oldest Chinese temple in Chinatown. 'Chi-Chong-Kai', as the local Chinese call Chinatown, is a fun place to shop and eat.

Petronas Twin Towers & Shopping

After lunch, a photo stop is made at the entrance to the magnificent, world-renowned Petronas Twin Towers, the world's tallest twin buildings. This 88-story structure soars to a dizzying height of 1,483 feet (452 metres) above the city skyline. Your tour concludes with approximately one hour of free time at the Suria KLCC, a modern, six-level shopping mall. You can sit and relax, or browse for mementoes in the wide array of retail shops.

At the designated time, re-join your coach and commence the approximately 90-minute drive back to the pier.
