bukit bintang

Jalan Alor street food, rooftop bars and the busiest pavements in KL.

Best time
Evenings, when the heat drops and the food stalls open. Weekends and the year-end sales are packed.
How long
A day and a night
Getting there
Right in the middle of KL: take the MRT to Bukit Bintang station, or the KL Monorail. From KLIA, ride the KLIA Ekspres to KL Sentral and change to the monorail, about an hour in all.

Good to know

  • Traffic is heavy most evenings. Take the MRT or monorail instead of driving.
  • Watch your bag and phone in the crowds.
