In the morning, we take the monorail to Chow Kit Market, a classic wet market where all kinds of things are sold. It is the largest hidden market in Kuala Lumpur. Inside, narrow aisles lead through a maze of stalls selling local produce and seafood of all shapes and sizes, vegetables in numerous shapes and colours, meat, spices and lots of fruit. You then head to Kampung Bahru, a traditional neighbourhood founded in 1899 in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Stroll through the streets of this 110-year-old residential neighbourhood on the way to a local café.
You will then visit the Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan Mosque in Kuala Lumpur. The mosque is characterised by its unique influence from the Ottoman Empire. This mosque serves as a community centre and also houses a school. As with any other place of worship, a dress code must be observed. Garments and headscarves can be made available to visitors.

These impressive caves continue to be a destination for pilgrims, especially during the most important Hindu festival in Asia, Thaipusam, which is celebrated during the Tamil full moon month (January and February).

From here you will reach Independence Square, the centre of old Kuala Lumpur, which was built around the tin mines in the 19th century.
Take a stroll through the streets of the old city, surrounded by small typical Malay colonial-style buildings, and discover the shops of the Central Market and Chinatown, where the colourful Hindu temple Sri Mahamariamman is located. Afterwards, make your way to the iconic Petronas Twin Towers to take photos of this engineering marvel before visiting the Skybridge and Observation Deck.
Then experience the breathtaking cityscape of Kuala Lumpur from the city's tallest building - with a ticket for the Petronas Towers.
Rising majestically above the city, the Twin Towers are a symbol of Malaysia's greatness and an absolute must-see during your stay here. With an impressive height of 452 metres and 88 floors, these towers held the record as the tallest skyscrapers in the world from their completion in 1998 until October 2003. To this day, they proudly hold the title of the tallest twin towers in the world.
Embark on a captivating one-hour tour that begins with a visit to the famous Skybridge. It connects the two towers on the 41st and 42nd floors, making it the highest two-storey bridge in the world. It is suspended 170 metres above the ground and is 58 metres long. Part of the bridge is even made of glass so that daredevils can look straight down to the ground as they cross.

In the afternoon, you will be picked up from the hotel for a short transfer to The Smokehouse. Built in 1937, The Smokehouse is an English Tudor-style hotel and the oldest in the Cameron Highlands. Take a trip back in time and be enchanted by the colonial architecture. The Smokehouse couldn't be more British and yet it somehow fits into the Malaysian Highlands. The overgrown exterior of the Smokehouse is a living carpet behind the flowering garden.
It's customary to partake in the age-old tradition of afternoon tea by the fireplace or enjoy it in the beautiful outdoor area with a handful of tables surrounded by countless fragrant flowers. Just remember that the weather can be British too.
The superstar is the scone, a rustic beauty with a firm crust that crumbles in the mouth while the inside retains the desired moistness. A pleasant flavour that hints at home cooking without powdery shortcuts. Served with homemade strawberry jam and hand-whipped cream, accompanied by Cameron Highland Tea, the ambience is a delight.
The experience at the Smokehouse is something you don't want to miss.
