Kuala Lumpur is one of the most famous cities in the world, and one activity you can enjoy to a great extent is shopping. The city contains a large selection of emporiums and one of the main reasons international travellers visit many a hotel in Kuala Lumpur such as the Berjaya Times Square Hotel is to indulge in a retail-therapy vacation.

If you’re looking for a particularly authentic shopping experience that will also be very easy on your finances, the best place to head towards is the Bukit Bintang portion of the city. A good place to start your adventure in Bukit Bintang is at the Low Yat Plaza, which is one of the best places to find affordable electronic items. It is Kuala Lumpur’s biggest electronic store and each floor has a theme encompassing items such as laptops, mp3 players and cameras. In addition electronics, this mall has one of the biggest food-courts in KL.

For an interesting shopping experience, you could visit Sungei Wang Plaza and Bukit Bintang Plaza which are two large malls that are joined by a series of corridors and escalators. With their forces combined, the two plazas offer a selection of around a thousand stores offering more or less anything you can think of, encompassing fashion, food, entertainment and electronics.

The biggest emporium you could find in Bukit Bintang is Berjaya Times Square. Not only is it the largest shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur but it is also one of the biggest buildings in the world. This massive shopping complex has ten floors of shops, and is a sight to behold. It is simultaneously one of the best places to shop, and the city’s most diversified dining locale, with a wide variety of eateries.

If you’re looking for a shopping experience like no other, the Bukit Bintang shopping district is definitely one of the places you should consider.
