Family days out and vacations don't have to mean soul destroying traffic jams on the motorway or fights over the only camp bed. And, in truth, reading the excellent tips on Been there for great family getaways won't necessarily turn yours into the Brady Bunch. But it could bring you one step closer to family trip Nirvana or at least show you what you're missing.

    Fireflies at Kuala Selangor

    Posted by Twilkosta 1 June 2010

    If you're stuck for things to do in KL (besides eating well), a fun thing to do is go out to Kuala Selangor and watch fireflies on the river. Kids will enjoy the rickety boats, and maybe the nature too.

    Hire a car or take bus 141 from Puduraya Bus Station in KL.

    A lot of lower-end accommodation options in Kuala Lumpur for backpackers and people/families on a budget are quite poor (bed bugs being a common complaint). For £20-24 you can get a double room at the Swiss Inn, located right in the heart of vibrant Chinatown, close to Central Market and importantly, light rail inter-city transport links. It represents a great value option and comes with an excellent buffet breakfast. Room has TV and tea making facilities etc. Book online for some decent deals. No extra cost for children though they do not provide an extra bed.

    Petronas Towers

    Posted by startrash1 3 November 2005

    Absolutely stunning twin towers. Go during the day and there is a free guided tour and then again at night to see the towers lit up! There is also a shopping centre, cinema and restaurants at your disposal.

    Junction of Jalan Ampand and Jalan P. Ramlee
    Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Kuala Lumpur.
    Just look for the towers you can't miss them!
