Use free GoKL city buses (purple/green lines) to hop between Bukit Bintang, Chinatown, and KLCC — it saves both time and money. ⸻ Quick Tips • Arrive early at Batu Caves to avoid crowds and heat. • Street food is cheaper than malls and just as tasty. • Carry small bills (RM1–10) for markets and food stalls. • Monsoon afternoons bring rain — plan indoor stops midday. • Best free views? KLCC Park at night with the fountain light show. #BudgetCityBreak #WeekendGetaway #SoloSmartTravel #KualaLumpurOnABudget #BatuCavesAdventure #TwinTowersViews #StreetFoodKL #MalaysiaForLess #BackpackingAsia
