Lumpur. Malaysia is a mix of the best in all of Southeast Asia. If your idea is to travel through this incredible country, we leave you a series of advice and recommendations to better plan what your route will be.

- Leave your prejudices at home: Although Malaysia is a country with a Muslim majority, it is an open society with other religions and delighted to welcome tourists.- It is a perfect country to travel alone: Like the rest of Southeast Asian countries, Malaysia is perfect for traveling alone. The country is very safe and open to dealing with foreign tourists. As we told you before, forget about prejudices for being a Muslim country. You can dress as you want, go to the beach as you want (except top less) and only when you want to visit a mosque, you should dress appropriately (as happens to men).- It is a perfect country to spend a long season traveling: Apart from its natural attractions, Malaysia has the advantage that allows many nationalities to be 3 months of visa and gives them the option to leave and re-enter and get another 30 days more. But if you come from India, you need Malaysia Visa for Indians.

It is not necessary to know much English ... but if you know it better: Malaysia together with Singapore are the countries of Southeast Asia with the best level of English among the local population. If you already speak it you will find it very comfortable to relate if you do not speak it, nothing happens either ... with some ingenuity you will survive. The best thing is that the Bahasa, although it is not understood, can be read, with which it is easy to recognize signs, indicative signs, etc.It is a country rich in cultural variety: In addition to the ethnic groups originating in the country, Malaysia is a multi-cultural country, with a large presence of Chinese communities and of Indian or Pakistani origin. All this is reflected in its history, culture and religion. Enjoy this cultural variety in every destination of the country you visit. Malaysia is one of the countries in the world where it is best eaten: Thanks to the mix of cultures in the country, Malaysia is a country where eating is a real pleasure. You can enjoy the best of Indian, Chinese cuisine and of course the best of traditional Malay cuisine. Savoring the country is perhaps one of the best tips for traveling to Malaysia that we can give you.Kuala Lumpur, the capital: Certainly one of the destinations that you cannot miss on your trip. Kuala Lumpur is a modern city, a perfect example of the great capitals of Southeast Asia. It is also the ideal destination to do your shopping.Do not forget to bring an adapter: In Malaysia, the plugs are different, so it is very important to take an adapter from home or buy it as soon as you arrive in the country.- It is a very easy country to travel: Malaysia is perfect for traveling as long as you always keep your Malaysia Visa. It has a road network that allows you to connect by bus to any point in the country. It also allows you to travel by train from north to south (vice versa) and the best thing is that thanks to the great development of low cost airlines you can fly to any destination at really cheap prices.

- Choose the route well: Malaysia is a large country and travel involves long journeys. Rate the travel time when you go to make a long trip. Rate if it is better to do it by land and spend many hours traveling or take a flight, pay only a little more and make the trip a few hours (or less).
