With colorful reefs, lush rainforests, magnificent mountains, minarets, skyscrapers as well as traditional sampans, Malaysia certainly lives up to its slogan “Malaysia Truly Asia”. If this is your first time traveling to Malaysia, don’t miss out on these amazing destinations!



1. Melaka


Well, there’s nothing wrong with starting off this list with an already famous destination! From one UNESCO World Heritage Site to another, Melaka (or Malacca) is definitely a must-visit when you travel to Malaysia. Aside from the well-known landmarks like the A’Famosa Fort and historic Jonker Street, Melaka is also home to many delicious delicacies such as the Nyonya cuisine and chicken rice balls.



2. Semenggoh Nature Reserve, Sarawak


The Semenggoh Nature Reserve is best described as the orangutan haven not just in Malaysia, but the world. Situated only 20km away from Kuching, Sarawak, this orangutan sanctuary offers an exclusive chance to get up close to semi-wild orangutans, most of which had been previously kept as illegal pets, orphaned, or found injured in the rainforest. If you’re a fan of wildlife, be sure to come by this place when you travel to Sarawak.



3. The Habitat, Penang Hill


Nestled at the top of Penang Hill, The Habitat is one of the newest Malaysian attractions that you shouldn’t miss especially when you travel to Penang. Providing the most authentic, diverse, and educational Malaysian rainforest experience, The Habitat offers you an unbeatable view of the Penang landscape. On clear days, you’re also able to spot the Penang Bridge and even Langkawi Island!



4. LEGOLAND, Johor


LEGOLAND Malaysia is Malaysia’s first-ever international theme park which opened in Iskandar Puteri, Johor in 2012. With over 40 interactive rides, shows, and attractions, visitors of all ages will definitely enjoy their time here exploring all the attractions. Make sure to Mini Land, which houses miniature Lego versions of iconic Asian landmarks such as the Angkor Wat and Taj Mahal. Don’t miss out on this place when you travel to Malaysia!
