Things to know before your Malaysia trip

What does a trip to Malaysia look like?

A typical Malaysian itinerary blends city energy with natural escapes. You might start in Kuala Lumpur, diving into its street food scene and skyline views from the Petronas Towers.

From there, fly to Penang for colonial charm and curry mee, then hop to Langkawi for sunset cocktails on the beach.

Nature lovers can head to the Perhentian Islands or dive off Tioman. Jungle treks in Taman Negara or tea trails in the Cameron Highlands offer a cool change of pace. With Rough Guides, you’ll discover both the highlights and lesser-known gems.
