Who better to travel with than your closest friends who understand each other! Good friends and the perfect holiday destination are bound to make the best memories.
Whether you’re a group who enjoys relaxing strolls in a local town, embracing city thrills, or exploring historical sites, we have three places in Malaysia rounded up for you. Grab your friends and start planning your next escape with the travel destinations we’ve listed below.
1. Kuala Lumpur
If the saying “shop till you drop” resonates with your friends, Kuala Lumpur is where all your shopping dreams come true! Home to over 60 shopping centres, Kuala Lumpur offers shoppers anything and everything on their wish list. Apart from that, many indoor and outdoor flea markets also attract crowds on weekends.
When it comes to nightlife, you can never run out of things to do in Kuala Lumpur. One of the most unique dining experiences is Dining In The Dark where visitors dine in total darkness and rely on the sense of smell and taste to enjoy the cuisines. The restaurant also hires visually impaired servers to guide visitors, a guaranteed 10/10 experience!
Besides that, you can visit Petaling Street for a stroll at night in search of food and other items commonly found at night markets. You can also visit the KL Bird Park to get up close with bird species, take pictures, and learn more about their habitat.
2. Melaka
In 2008, Melaka was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage City for its well-preserved fortification, government buildings, churches and architecture dating back to the 16th century. If you are an old soul who appreciates history, Melaka is the ideal destination for a vacation.
One of Melaka’s most prominent attractions is the waterfront, known as the Melaka River. Enjoy a calm 45-minute boat ride at night with your friends at the Melaka River cruise. You will be able to witness the captivating buildings preserved from the past, lively cafes, murals, and places of entertainment along the river.
Other attractions in Melaka include the A’Famosa fort built in the 16th century, the Stadthuys building from the 17th century, and the red brick Christ Church Melaka, also built in the 17th century. The best part about visiting Melaka is you can explore the historic city on foot.
3. Ipoh
This city has uniquely developed its identity with a balanced exchange between old and new. If you’re looking for a vibrant yet laid-back place to explore with friends, Ipoh is the perfect place.
Explore the town of Ipoh, where murals showing the true identity of Ipoh attract tourists, and coffee shops serve aromatic white coffee made just like how they were made in the 19th century. There are also a growing number of modern cafes in Ipoh, serving craft coffee and pastries. Ipoh boasts an array of traditional cuisine from all cultures. In Ipoh, you can find Pani Puri at a Malay stall, curry puffs at a Chinese stall, and kampung fried rice at an Indian restaurant.
Finally, enrich your Ipoh experience by going on an adventure at the Lost World of Tambun water theme park with your friends. There is also a petting zoo in the theme park where you can engage with the animals.
