Malaysia should be attributed to one of the most popular tour<\/a>ist destinations<\/a> of recent times. More and more Russians prefer this region as the main destination for their holidays<\/a>. The combination of historical and modern sights<\/a>, exotic life, as well as truly unique<\/a> places makes Malaysia and its main center<\/a> – Kuala Lumpur – a real “pearl” of this region. Today we have to talk about how to<\/a> get to Kuala Lumpur, and which route<\/a> to take.<\/p>\n

Flight to Kuala Lumpur<\/a> from Moscow<\/h2>\n

Undoubtedly, the Russian capital and the capital of Malaysia are separated by a huge distance, which is easiest to overcome by plane<\/a>. Those tourists<\/a> who often fly to this region of Asia know that the choice of carrier companies that are happy to offer their services is impressive. It will not be difficult to choose<\/a> both a budget way to get to the main Malaysian city<\/a>, and find yourself in the company of huge skyscrapers in the shortest possible time. The following companies<\/a> are ready to offer their services to potential customers<\/a>: Air Astana, China<\/a> South<\/a>ern, Uzbekistan airways, Qatar, Aeroflot and many others.<\/p>\n

In part<\/a>icular, the cheapest flights will be on Air Astana and China Southern companies. The cost of services will be from 35.5 to 39 thousa<\/a>nd rubles. Depending on the number of transfer<\/a>s, the road will take at least 18.5 hours, although it is often necessary to spend more than a day on the road. Of course, it is hardly possible to call such a trip a budget one. Therefore, you can conside<\/a>r the offers of charter companies or a route<\/a> that runs through neighboring countries<\/a>. There is also an alternative offer, which, although it will cost an order of magnitude more expensive, will still appeal to those tour<\/a>ists who want to save at least time. Thus, the domestic car<\/a>rier Aeroflot and the Asian competitor Qatar are ready to deliver passengers from Sheremetyevo to Kuala Lumpur Airport in just 13-13.5 hours. The flight also provides for a short transfer at one of the airports in the region.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival at the airport, you will have to solve a puzzle with how to get<\/a> from the international terminal to the city center<\/a>. The easiest way is to use a taxi<\/a> Airport Limo taxi or find a private trader, of which there are many. Depending on whether you pay the taxi driver according to the meter or agree on a price with a private trader, the cost of the trip will be from 70 to 120 Malaysian ringgit. You can also use an airport taxi, but in this case the trip will cost more.<\/p>\n

Alternative ways to be in Kuala Lumpur<\/h2>\n

If desired, you can get to the main city<\/a> of Malaysia and from neighboring countries. In particular, regular buses run from Singapore (more precisely, from its southern provinces). All vehicles are equipped with air conditioning and other amenities for a comfortable trip. You can buy a bus ticket at one of the ticket offices.<\/p>\n

So, it is possible to get by bus from the island<\/a>s: Penang, Langkawi, Pangkor, the Thai town of Hat Yai and others. Of course, a route with a starting point on one of the islands will include a short trip on the water. Therefore, foresee this in advance and stock up on a ticket for a ferry or boat. Upon arrival at the Kuala Lumpur bus station, you can get to anywhere in the city by metro, the station of which is located nearby. From Singapore and Thailand, you can also get to the capital of Malaysia by train. Unfortunately, the rail connection in this region leaves much to be desired, and therefore it will take tourists<\/a> much more time to travel<\/a>. Night expresses have the only advantage over buses, which allow not only to overcome a considerable distance between cities<\/a>,<\/p>\n

Train<\/a>s arrive at the main station KL Sentral. If necessary, you can continue your journey to any point in the city by transferring to the train or metro. The cost of tickets and the exact timetable for trains in Malaysia can be found on the site ktmb.com.my If you decide to visit Kuala Lumpur after a holiday<\/a> in the Malaysian resort<\/a> of Penang, you can use both the plane and choose<\/a> one of the types<\/a> of land transport<\/a>. In particular, the plane will cost approximately 30-50 dollars (travel<\/a> time – up to 1 hour), a bus ticket will cost from 40 ringgit, and by train you can cover a small distance for 36-140 units of local currency. A trip by ground transport will take from 6 to 7 hours.<\/p>\n
