Day 3: Singapore – Exploring Day Tours From Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
In about 1 hour, you'll reach the capital city of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. If your flight arrives late at night or early in the morning, head to your hotel to rest. Don't forget to pre-book your hotel, Kuala Lumpur airport transfer, KLIA Ekspres train, and private tours. Here are some short day trip suggestions departing from Kuala Lumpur that you might consider.
Historic City of Melaka
The historic city of Melaka (Malacca) in Malaysia is famous for its numerous landmarks and valuable historical heritage. The beauty of this city lies in the unique blend of traditional customs, cuisine, and lifestyle of the local Peranakan people, which still thrives today. The juxtaposition of ancient fortresses alongside extremely modern shopping centers will leave you with an unforgettable impression.

Protected by a giant statue of the Hindu deity Lord Murugan, Batu Caves is a precious treasure of Malaysia - a special attraction not to be missed on this trip. Batu Caves is a limestone cave complex dating back around 400 million years, located 13km north of the capital Kuala Lumpur. These caves were used by the indigenous Temuan people as ancient shelters.
Genting Highlands
Genting Highlands is a shining highlight of Malaysian tourism, offering a completely different experience compared to other places. The first reason people come here is for the cool, mild climate, a luxury in a country near the equator.

Day 4: Spend the Whole Day in Kuala Lumpur
You should dedicate the entire 4th day of your 5-day, 4-night Singapore Malaysia tour to visiting the landmarks in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. The Half-Day Kuala Lumpur City Tour from Mytour covers the following attractions, allowing you to avoid renting a car for the whole day and saving a lot of expenses.
Royal Palace
The Royal Palace, or Istana Negara, is the official residence of the Supreme King of Malaysia. It attracts thousands of visitors due to its gigantic golden domes and Islamic-style architecture. Although you can't enter for tours, you can still visit the Royal Museum within the palace grounds to learn about Malaysia's monarchy system.
National Monument
The National Monument commemorates those who sacrificed during Malaysia's struggle for freedom against Japanese occupation during World War II from 1942-1960. Located in Kuala Lumpur and just a short walk from the Malaysian Parliament Building, so you can easily drop by.
Independence Square
Independence Square, or Dataran Merdeka, is a historical landmark in the heart of every Malaysian. Built during British rule, Independence Square was used as a cricket ground for the elite. At midnight on August 31, 1957, the Union Jack was lowered and the Malaysian flag was raised here for the first time, hence its name Independence Square.
Surrounding the square are prominent buildings such as Sultan Abdul Samad Building, National History Museum, St. Mary's Anglican Church, Moorish-style Kuala Lumpur Railway Station dating back to 1886, and more.
Chocolate Haven - Beryl's

When you visit the store, you'll get to enjoy complimentary tastings of delicious chocolates and choose from over 100 varieties of chocolates, ranging from traditional to unique flavors like chili chocolate.
PETRONAS Twin Towers
The PETRONAS Twin Towers are Malaysia's pride, symbolizing its development as an industrialized nation.

When buying souvenirs in Malaysia, you'll find many items featuring the Twin Towers in prints and designs.
Day 5: Kuala Lumpur - Putrajaya City - Vietnam
On the final day in Malaysia, we'll leave the capital city to visit the new city of Putrajaya and spend half a day exploring its attractions before returning to Vietnam.
Putrajaya City
Putrajaya serves as the federal administrative center of the Malaysian Government, a new city born out of Kuala Lumpur's overcrowding. It's well-planned, boasting modern infrastructure, lush green parks, bustling commercial centers, and remarkable landmarks.
This place is renowned for its late 20th-century architecture, including the striking pink Putra Mosque, Perdana Putra (the Prime Minister's office complex), the vast 650-hectare Putrajaya Lake, Putra Bridge, Putrajaya International Convention Centre, Seri Perdana (the Prime Minister's residence), Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque, Putrajaya Botanical Garden, and more.

Travel Experience Singapore Malaysia 5 Days 4 Nights Independent
- Before embarking on the 5-day 4-night Singapore Malaysia tour, it's advisable to pre-book a 4G SIM card or wifi device rental for your group. This 4G SIM card can be used in 3 countries: Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, making it very convenient. Meanwhile, the wifi device can be used in most Asian countries.
- Book flights and accommodation at least 2 months in advance for reasonable prices, especially during peak seasons. It's also advisable to book tickets for attractions and transportation before departure for a smoother itinerary.
- If you opt out of flying between Singapore and Malaysia, you can take a shared shuttle from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur or vice versa across the border with a guide. Each trip takes about 5 hours, with departures starting at 6:30 AM from Singapore.
- Exchange Vietnamese money for Malaysian Ringgit and Singapore Dollars before departure for immediate use when needed. For Singapore Dollars (SGD), it's best to exchange only what you need as most services here accept Visa or Mastercard. If exchanging money in Singapore, consider doing so in Chinatown or Little India.
- Malaysia relies more on cash transactions and mostly accepts card payments at some services in major cities, so be prepared with cash. It's best not to exchange money at international airports unless it's an emergency as the exchange rates there are very low.
