About Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia's capital, and the country's main international gateway, with a rail link from the airport into the centre. KL is spread across several districts joined by LRT, MRT and monorail lines, so getting between them is straightforward, though the walk at each end can be long and hot. Rain falls all year, heaviest around March to April and September to November. Tower viewing decks are ticketed.
