Explore Interactive MapStep into Malaysia's colonial past with our interactive walking map of KL's historic civic district. Start at Dataran Merdeka (Independence Square), where locals gather for evening jogs around the 100 meter flagpole marking Malaysia's 1957 independence.

Stroll the River of Life promenade past street art murals, stop for nasi lemak at roadside stalls near Masjid India, browse Central Market for local crafts, and capture the iconic 'I Love KL' sculpture at KL City Gallery. Pro tip: Join the free Sunday heritage walk (starts 9 AM at City Gallery) or visit on August 31 for Merdeka Day parades and celebrations.
