Chinatown's Petaling Street is great for budget buys and mid-range shopping, as is Bukit Bintang, which offers fashion and electronics shopping in Kuala Lumpur at very reasonable prices.

Kuala Lumpur's Mid Valley Megamall is a hugely popular shopping mall and one of the biggest in Southeast Asia. 4.5 million square feet of retail outlets, dining opportunities, office space, a boulevard and two hotels attract visitors in their droves. This Kuala Lumpur shopping mall features two large food courts while the exquisite boulevard area houses international restaurants.

For a truly unique Kuala Lumpur shopping experience, Suria KLCC is located between the world's second tallest structures, the Petronas Twin Towers. It is, unsurprisingly, an upmarket shopping venue offering designer goods of high standard, but is by no means exclusive and attracts locals and visitors alike.
