Where to stay in Kuala Lumpur
- Bangsar — expat-friendly, cafes and bars, walkable core
- KLCC / Bukit Bintang — central, shopping and towers, dense, touristy
- Mont Kiara — condo-heavy, family/expat base, quieter, car or Grab needed
- TTDI (Taman Tun Dr Ismail) — local, leafy, good food scene, less central
Getting around
LRT/MRT lines cover the center but the city sprawls, so Grab is used constantly; KLIA Ekspres train reaches downtown in 28 minutes, otherwise it's about an hour by car.
