11 Best Late-Night Things To Do In KL To Make Full Use Of Your Trip To The City

Late-night things to do in KL


There’s no doubt that Singaporeans love travelling to Kuala Lumpur (KL) for a getaway during long weekends and holidays.

Unlike JB, which is more convenient for us to visit, going to KL requires a fair bit of travelling. This means you should make full use of your time there, especially for those who drove for 5-6 hours or took a bus up to KL. While you’ve got your day plans covered, here are the best things to do in KL at night.

The current exchange rate is RM1 = ~S$0.29 as of 15th November 2024.


How to travel around KL at night


Renting a car is a great way to cover lots of ground if you want to maximise your time exploring KL after dark. Alternatively, if you don’t have a licence or know you’ll be hardcore partying, Grab is great for convenient point-to-point rides around the city.

For budget-friendly options, the Go KL City Bus provides free rides on various routes within the city, with some routes operating until midnight, though the bus schedule may vary.
