Kuala Lumpur is a very cool city that has a lot to offer. From Bangsar South, you can reach the city center in 20 minutes by LRT (3 RM). You can also use the Grab ride-hailing service, which costs around RM 20 for a trip into the city. KL is also a great hub for international flights. Air Asia offers very affordable flights, and you can reach a considerable number of destinations within three hours.
When planning an exchange semester in Kuala Lumpur, it’s important to prepare for a multicultural environment where Malay, Chinese, Indian, and international influences blend.
