Kuala Lumpur is a beautiful city, rich in cultural history, amazing architecture and a thriving arts scene. The cityscape at night is breathtaking. Tourists are attracted to its many fascinating options. Whether they’re interested in visiting one or many museums, seeing a play a dance or symphony, Kuala Lumpur has something for everyone. In addition to these entertainment options, some of the city’s standard institutions are attractive to tourists as well. Vacationers staying in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia hotels can seek assistance from the concierge in planning their daily sight seeing agenda.
Two of the standard and popular attractions include The National Gallery and The Petronas Philharmonic Hall. The National Art Gallery of Malaysia was established in 1958 by the first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman. It is located next to the Istana Budaya, along Jalan Tun Razak on the northern edge of the city. The Istana Budava is the city’s main venue for theatre, opera and many other forms of performance. The Petronas Philharmonic Hall was built by the Malaysian oil company of the same name. It was the first music hall built in Malaysia for the specific purpose of presenting classical music. Since it first opened its doors, the venue has housed some of the greatest artists in the world. Throughout the years, it has expanded its genres and now presents jazz concerts, dance productions and traditional Malaysian music performances.
The National Mosque is another amazing facility that inspires wonder in tourists. It is nestled in 13 acres of gardens, which contribute to the mosque’s serenity and beauty. It was originally built in 1965 by a 3 person design team and has a seating capacity of 15,000. Two of its key features are the 73 meter high minaret and an 18-pointed star concrete roof. The main roof looks similar to an open umbrella, which is synonymous with the tropics.
