Kuala Lumpur Itinerary + Travel Budget Guide for first-timers

Kuala Lumpur was the last stop on my second trip abroad — a cross-country overland journey from Singapore to Malaysia.

Since then, I’ve traveled to the Malaysian capital many times thanks to Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s position as the main flight hub of AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines & Malindo Air.

I often find myself making a stopover in the city whenever I have flight connections via Kuala Lumpur. This city is home to many interesting attractions to keep you busy for at least a couple of days. Not to mention, it’s the gateway to many exciting destinations farther afield in Peninsular Malaysia and travel costs here are pretty affordable.

Traveling to Kuala Lumpur for the first time? This detailed travel guide will make it easy for you to plan a trip, save money, and maximize your time.

Scroll down to read must-know travel tips before you go, followed by a sample itinerary + budget breakdown , recommended hotels/places to stay , things to do/places to visit and lots of extra travel tips.

From Singapore, Kuala Lumpur is also popularly reached overland via the Singapore-Johor Bahru (South Malaysia) border gate.

For a hassle-free trip, make sure that you are able to provide the following typical requirements at the immigration checkpoint:

Remember to always check for changes in the visa policy of any country that you want to visit. You can find official visa information at the Immigration Department of Malaysia website.

Malaysia tourist visa for Filipinos

Filipinos/Pinoy tourists do not need a visa to enter Malaysia granting the purpose is tourism or transit. Philippine passport holders get a maximum stay of 30 days.

Simply show up at the immigration checkpoint and get your passport stamped.

Keep in mind that all countries have the right to refuse entry to any person even if they are eligible for the free tourist visa or have a valid visa on hand at the border.

At the very least, have these on hand at the immigration checkpoint: Return/onward ticket, hotel reservations & tours/attraction tickets that you have pre-booked online.

These documents will help to convince immigration officers that you are really are visiting as a tourist, NOT for work, and you are able to fund the entire duration of your trip.

Flights to Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA / IATA: KUL) is the primary airport serving Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding Klang Valley region.

Over 50 airlines operate flights to/from an extensive list of destinations in Southeast Asia, East Asia, South Asia, Oceania & The Middle East. As well as selected cities in Europe and Africa.

Kuala Lumpur International Airport is a major hub of Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia & Malindo Air.

There are two entirely separate terminals namely:

1. The “main” KLIA — Used by Malaysia Airlines and other mainline carriers.

2. klia2 (Terminal 2) — Used by Air Asia, Malindo Air and other low-cost carriers.

KLIA & klia2 are connected by train & a 24-hour free shuttle service. The train fare is MYR 4 and takes 3 minutes.

Philippines-Manila to Kuala Lumpur

From Manila, direct flights to Kuala Lumpur are operated by AirAsia, Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific and Malaysia Airlines. Flight duration is 3 hours and 45 minutes.

You can also fly directly from Cebu and Davao with AirAsia.

There is no timezone difference between The Philippines and Malaysia.

How to get around Kuala Lumpur?

Kuala Lumpur has a functioning and affordable metro/public transport system.

To know how to get around KL by public transport, use Google Maps’ transit directions feature, which displays train and bus routes.

Touch ‘n Go card

Familiarizing yourself with the different lines/abbreviations takes a bit of effort.

Fortunately, payment is easy thanks to the Touch ‘n Go card, which can be used on all MRT, LRT, KL Monorail, KTM Komuter (commuter train) and RapidKL buses. In addition, this cashless method of payment enjoys a significant discount on fares.

The initial cost of the Touch ‘n Go card is MYR 10.5. You can top-up at the stations and convenient stores.

KL Hop-on Hop-off Bus

Double-decker KL Hop-on Hop-off sightseeing tour buses serve 42 destinations in the city center. The buses are scheduled every half hour.

The discount price online for a 24-hour ticket is MYR 24 per person. The regular price is MYR 25 if you buy on site.

See discounts

Try to maximize use of the service outside rush hours because waits may be as long as two hours due to traffic jams.

You can either buy a 24 or 48 hour pass (both include unlimited stops).

Go KL free bus service

Keep a lookout for light purple buses, which offer free rides in the Central Business District (CBD) including various tourist attractions.

Grab

Grab is the most popular ride-hailing app in Kuala Lumpur. Use the app to enjoy affordable and convenient rides in the city center, Putrajaya & KLIA.

How to get Grab fare estimates in Kuala Lumpur

This is very useful if you want to make a pre-trip budget plan.

STEP 1: Open the Grab app on your phone (use the links above to download).

STEP 2: Tap on the “Enter pick-up point” searchbox. Then, “Select location from map”.

STEP 3: Manually locate Kuala Lumpur on the map. It’s a bit of an effort but don’t worry, you only have to do this once.

STEP 4: Choose the pick-up and drop-off points.

Getting from the airport to Kuala Lumpur center

By train — Ride the KLIA Ekspres train, the fastest way from the airport to Kuala Lumpur city center/downtown. Travel time takes only 28 minutes. If you buy on site, the fare is MYR 55 per person for a one-way ticket and MYR 100 per person for a round-trip ticket.

Pre-book your tickets on KLIA Ekspres’ website to enjoy 10% discount on one-way or round-trip tickets.

What currency to carry when traveling to Malaysia?

Malaysian Ringgit (abbreviated as MYR or RM) is the official currency of Malaysia. Thus, you’ll need Malaysian Ringgits for your expenses in Kuala Lumpur. You should be able to change your USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, CAD, SGD & other major currencies easily at most banks/money exchange stalls. Try to avoid changing huge sums at the airport because branches found in the city usually offer more favorable rates.

Better yet, withdraw MYR bills at an ATM when you arrive in Malaysia. I use my ATM card a lot when I travel because it’s way more convenient than to worry about what currency to bring and exchange. Because banks charge a fee (usually USD 5 or more) per withdrawal, I make sure to withdraw large amounts instead of doing multiple smaller transactions.

A great way to minimize bringing/exchanging cash is by using a credit card and pre-booking hotels, tours, transport etc. online. I opt to pay in my home currency, if available. That way, I know exactly how much is charged to my account.

Exchanging Philippine Peso to Malaysian Ringgit

You can get the best rates by withdrawing from ATMs or finding a way to exchange your pesos to Malaysian Ringgit before leaving the Philippines. Try to avoid carrying large sums of Philippine Pesos when traveling abroad. According to BSP rules, a person may only bring out a maximum of PHP 10,000.

Another option is to bring USD or any major currency instead.

Remember to check if your bank requires you to activate your card for international withdrawals. Your card might be useless otherwise. For example, Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) requires me to call their 24-hour hotline to activate my Cirrus ATM card before I travel abroad. On the other hand, My Unionbank debit cards (Visa and Mastercard) does not need activation to withdraw money abroad.

Singapore to Kuala Lumpur

The land journey from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur spans 330+ kilometers and crosses the Singapore-Johor Bahru (South Malaysia) border gate.

The easiest way to go is on direct buses, which are considerably faster and more convenient than taking the train. Travel time takes 5 to 6 hours. The one way fare starts at MYR 64 to 76 per person.

Check faresSee more

The direct train route from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur is no longer in service. If you want to go by train, you will need to transfer to Johor Bahru and go on 2 separate train journeys. First from JB Sentral to Gemas, then from Gemas to Kuala Lumpur.

How to book cheap flights to Kuala Lumpur?

The easy way to find cheap flights that you can book right now is to use flight search engines. These sites compare prices on different airlines to show you the cheapest prices. Check multiple flight search engines listed below:
