You'll find lively nights out in Bukit Bintang, the entertainment district, and excellent shopping in the city center; Tuanka Abdul Rahman. There's culture to be found in one of the city's museums, such as the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia or the Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery, and of course at the events and festivals throughout the year, such as the Thaipusam procession at Batu Caves; a Hindu celebration of dance and song.
