Malaysia is known for its urban, beach, and rainforest environments and Malay, Chinese, Indian, and European cultural influences. The capital, Kuala Lumpur, is home to colonial buildings, bustling shopping districts, and massive skyscrapers such as the Petronas Twin Towers. The biodiverse rainforests are home to wildlife including orangutans and clouded leopards. The massive, rugged island of Borneo's territory is divided between the countries of Malaysia, Indonesia, and the tiny nation of Brunei. On Borneo, venture up the 13435 ft. (4,095m) tall Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia, and Borneo Island's highest peak, take leisurely hikes through the jungle, or relax at a beach resort among coral reefs & idyllic tropical islands.

A country of contrasts, Malaysia is home to historical buildings, beautiful parks and beaches, modern skyscrapers, and a tea plantation environment. Here are the best places to visit in Malaysia, whether you're planning a Malaysia trip, or just researching.

The Petronas Twin Towers, the world's highest twin towers, is perhaps the most well-known feature of the city of Kuala Lumpur, which regularly ranks among the world's most popular tourist destinations. KL Bird park, Merdeka Square, and Chinatown's Petaling Street are among the must-sees.

Popular among thrill seekers, it is one of the top Malaysian destinations for an adrenaline-pumping adventure experience. 
  • Kinabatangan. The Kinabatangan River is one of Southeast Asia's best wildlife-watching spots. Borneo's orangutan and probosci's monkey live in the surrounding forest, one of only two areas in the world with 10 kinds of primates.
  • Kota Kinabalu. Kota Kinabalu is the capital and largest city of Sabah in Borneo. It is the gateway to Mount Kinabalu, Southeast Asia's tallest summit, and is surrounded by marine national parks and tropical islands.
  • Borneo. Most visitors to Borneo are drawn to its jungles and unique wildlife, despite the island's gorgeous beaches and flourishing cities.
