1. Petronas Twin Tower

One of Malaysia’s most recognisable and iconic landmarks is the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. The giant twin towers come in at 452 metres and held the record for the tallest building in the world until Taipei 101 came along in 2004. To this day, however, they remain the tallest twin towers in the world. Even better? Both towers are linked with a sky bridge on the 41st and 42nd floor that provides unbeatable views of Kuala Lumpur’s city centre.

2. Stunning Coastal Landscape

Malaysia is famous not just for its bustling capital and cultural charm, it’s also famous for its stunning coastal areas. This Southeast Asian country is completely surrounded by water and is comprised of a whopping 99 islands. One of Malaysia’s most popular island destinations is Langkawi; complete with pristine white sand beaches and lush rainforests making for a tropical paradise.

3. Multiculturalism 

One of Malaysia’s most notable aspects is its melting pot of culture. Surrounded by Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore, Malaysia is home to a kaleidoscope of different cultures that only add to the nation’s rich history. There is also a large Chinese and Indian influence along with Portuguese and British influence brought in with colonisation.
