Kuala Lumpur is the first place that comes to mind when someone mentions Malaysia, but it’s not the only amazing city that you can find here. Spectacular cities are scattered all around this Southeast Asian country, and here are three that you shouldn’t miss during your visit.
George Town
The capital of Penang will knock you off your feet with its street food scene, and a unique mix of colonial and modern architecture, defined by colonial buildings, mosques, and spectacular skyscrapers.
Ipoh
Safely tucked away somewhere between Kuala Lumpur and George Town, Ipoh became popular with tourists thanks to its colonial-era architecture, amazing cuisine, and natural attractions, including limestone hills and caves with Buddhist temples built within.
Malacca
Malacca is one of Malaysia’s major tourist attractions thanks to its rich history as one of the country’s major trade centers and a convenient beachfront location.
Kota Kinabalu
This charming coastal city surrounded by rainforest will win you over with its beaches, waterfront with modern boardwalk, and bustling markets with delicious seafood.
Johor Bahru
The capital of the state of Johor is best known for serving as a getaway to Singapore because there’s an iconic causeway connecting it to the town of Woodlands in northern Singapore.
