This museum of oddities is a temple of all things weird, bizarre, and — at times — gross and creepy. From an alien autopsy table and (somewhat disturbing) crime scene recreations to treats served at the on-site café (dessert with crickets and scorpion bits, anyone?), the Peculiarium is a bloody good time if you're not too squeamish (or underage).

Tanzania is also home to Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain rising 5,895 metres above sea level, with three volcanic peaks. There are several operators to help you organise a tour through one of the plenty trekking routes of Kilimanjaro National Park.

Located at the convergence of the Klang and Gombak rivers, you’ll find Masjid Jamek, one of the oldest mosques in the city. Its three elegant domes dominated the KL skyline long before skyscrapers came into the picture.

At 452 metres, the Petronas Twin Towers used to be the tallest buildings in the world before being surpassed by Taipei 101 in 2004. Still the tallest twin buildings, they are a true symbol of the new Malaysia. You are welcome to the skybridge on the 41st floor. Petronas Towers are adjacent to one of the busiest shopping malls in Malaysia, Suria KLCC. Ticket sales start at 8:30am and are limited in number. If you plan to visit during the next 24 hours, tickets will need to be purchased at the Ticketing Counter on the Concourse Level, otherwise they may be pre-bought online. Time allotted per visit is 45 minutes, and includes visits to the sky bridge and observation deck.
