Places to explore

Kuala Lumpur — Malaysia’s capital is known for Petronas Towers, colonial-era Merdeka Square, large museums, food districts, religious architecture, and a skyline woven through tropical hills.

George Town — Penang’s historic city is famous for shophouses, clan houses, temples, street art, colonial architecture, and one of Southeast Asia’s most layered food cultures.

Penang Jewish Cemetery — The small cemetery is the main surviving physical site of Penang’s former Jewish community and should be visited as a quiet historical place rather than an active communal center.

Malacca — A former Portuguese, Dutch, and British trading port, Malacca is known for riverfront streets, museums, Peranakan culture, and a compact UNESCO historic center.

Merdeka Square and colonial Kuala Lumpur — Combine Merdeka Square, Sultan Abdul Samad Building, River of Life, Central Market, and nearby heritage streets in one capital walking route.

Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia — Major museum of Islamic decorative arts near the National Mosque and botanical gardens.
