Five Budget-Friendly Activities in Kuala Lumpur

 Guest Post by Jess Signut
 Thanks to Travel at Malaysia for sharing my article on the five best budget-friendly activities in Kuala Lumpur. It is a wonderful resource for anyone headed to Malaysia in the near future. And for those not planning a trip to Malaysia, I particularly recommend this article on the top 20 reasons why you should!
Although travel in Malaysia isn't quite as cheap as in some other countries in Southeast Asia, Kuala Lumpur can still definitely be done on a budget. There are plenty of free or cheap activities to fill your itinerary, regardless of what your interests are. Here are five of our favorites:

1. Take a Walking Tour.

The tourist parts of Kuala Lumpur are relatively compact, making the city easily navigable on foot. If you're interested in taking a walking tour to help orient yourself and to learn some of the history of the area, you can download apps with maps and information to your smartphone or tablet. You may also be able to take a free walking tour. These are sometimes put on by the city hall. The tour guides are paid only in tips, meaning you aren't obligated to shell out the exorbitant fees that some city tours charge, but you still get a great tour out of it.

2. Visit Masjid Jamek.

Roughly half of the population of Kuala Lumpur is Muslim, making this mosque a very important building in the city. In fact, it served as the main mosque of the city for the first half of the twentieth century, until the National Mosque, Masjid Negara, was completed. Masjid Jamek is Moorish in style, making it markedly different from the Chinese and Indian temples that also dot the city (many of which are also free to enter).
