The Petronas Twin Towers have a skybridge and an observation deck, with the KLCC Park at their feet. Bukit Bintang is the shopping and entertainment district. Merdeka Square, where independence was declared, is surrounded by colonial buildings.
Temples and markets
Batu Caves, just outside the city, is a Hindu shrine in limestone caves reached by 272 rainbow-colored steps. Chinatown's Petaling Street and the Central Market sell crafts and food.
