How to Get to and Around Malaysia
From beautiful beaches to breathtaking highlands, and from enchanted rainforests to cosmopolitan cities, Malaysia has something for every visitor. Not only that, but you will find a fascinating melting pot of Malay, Indian and Chinese cultures, combined with Middle Eastern and European influences.
Public transport in Malaysia is affordable and reliable. Most people get around via the bus and mini-bus systems, plus there are also trains for longer, cross-country journeys. Bear in mind that on public holidays and Muslim festivals, longer distance transport can be extremely busy and booked out in advance.
To travel from Kuala Lumpur International Airport into the city center, you can take a fixed fare taxi. The journey should take around 50 minutes, depending on traffic. The other option is the premium high-speed train service, the KLIA Express, which will take you to the city’s central station.
The only way to get from Kota Kinabalu International Airport into the city is via a fixed rate taxi at Terminal 1. The system works by buying a coupon at the Airport Taxi counter in Arrivals (Level 1), then giving the coupon to your driver.
To get from Penang International Airport into George Town, you can take one of the regular bus services that leave every 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can take a private taxi, sedan or limousine.
Places to Visit in Malaysia
Malaysia is a country with many faces and many wonderful sights. Here are some highlights:
Kuala Lumpur
The country’s capital, Kuala Lumpur is a buzzing, multicultural metropolis situated on the west coast. Kuala Lumpur blends soaring skyscrapers with colonial architecture and a dizzying array of national cuisines. Jaw-droppingly tall buildings like the Petronas Twin Towers and the KL Tower create a slightly futuristic vibe.
Cameron Highlands
A seemingly endless green paradise of tea plantations, the Cameron Highlands is one of the country’s most popular tourist spots. Rising to almost 2,000 metres at its highest point, this is the perfect place to cool off, unwind and breathe in some eucalyptus-scented air while trekking or sampling fresh tea.
Penang and George Town
The island of Penang is rich in colonial history and also has plenty to offer by way of tranquil villages, tropical beaches and hiker-friendly jungle. The island’s capital, George Town, is a bustling, carnival-loving, multicultural enclave, where ornate Buddhist temples and old Chinese shophouses mingle with skyscrapers and shopping malls.
Kota Kinabalu
The coastal capital of the state of Sabah, Kota Kinabalu is known for its stunning waterfront mosque. It is also the gateway city to Mount Kinabalu National Park and World Heritage Site, which includes rainforest, beaches and coral reefs.
Malacca City
Situated on the west coast, Malacca City is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is known for its striking Red Square and its vibrant Chinatown night market, Jonker Walk. It is also home to the oldest temple in Malaysia, Cheng Hoon Teng, and the 18th-century Kampung Kling Mosque.
Tips and Tricks for Traveling in Malaysia
Malaysia is in the MST time zone, 12 hours ahead of Washington D.C. If you are a U.S. citizen, you do not need a visa for the first 90 days of your visit but your passport must be valid for at least six months. Bear in mind that Malaysia is predominately a Muslim country and while the bigger cities are cosmopolitan in attitude, it is best to dress modestly in more rural areas.
U.S. citizens can get an International Driver's License to drive in Malaysia for up to 90 days. Malaysia is left-hand drive and road conditions in the east of the country can sometimes be poor. If you are renting a motorbike then remember that by law, a helmet must be worn.
