Malaysia Destinations
Guides to the places most travellers include in a Malaysia holiday, from city sights to islands, cool highlands and rainforest.
Where to go in Malaysia
Malaysia packs a remarkable range of experiences into one trip. Most first-time visitors start in Kuala Lumpur, then add a beach island such as Langkawi or Pangkor, a heritage city like Penang or Malacca, or the cool hill country of Genting and the Cameron Highlands. If you love wildlife and the outdoors, Borneo is in a league of its own.
