Top 10 Free Things to Do in Malaysia

Malaysia is a vibrant country that is located in South East Asia. If you are on a budget, this country is a great place to visit because of the many inexpensive and even free things to do here! City exploration, beach fun, visiting major attractions, relaxing in verdant parks, and many other pocket-friendly adventures await you in this beautiful country.

Read on to find out the top ten free things to do in Malaysia.

1. Cycling in the Capital

Kuala Lumpur’s eco-friendly city loop is where you can cycle, walk, or skateboard for free. This experience happens in the hip Golden Triangle area.

2. Shop at a Unique Market

Pasar Percuma is Kuala Lumpur’s only free market. Based on the ancient barter trade system, here you can trade in something old for an item of your choice. Music CDs, books, souvenirs, and other knick-knacks can be bought here without the use of money.

3. Explore Langkawi

This beach destination is one of the major tourist attractions in Malaysia, and there’s no guessing why! Apart from the beaches, the various beautiful and free places to visit here include Buffalo park, the Field of burnt rice, Langkawi craft complex, and the Oriental village of Langkawi.

4. Head to the Caves

Visit the Batu Caves, which are considered to be a holy Hindu Shrine. Located in Selangor, it is a limestone outcrop, which gets very crowded during the Thaipusam festival. Entry into the caves and blessings are free!

5. Trekking

Don’t give up on outdoorsy activities like trekking and hiking during your vacation. For a free trekking experience, head to Gunung Lambak, Penang Hill Loop, Pine Tree Trail, and Penang National Park.

6. Learn About the History

You can learn about Malaysia’s colonial past and railway history at the Railway Museum in Kuala Lumpur. Another place where you can learn about Malaysia’s British history is at Merdeka Square where you can take a tour of its colonial buildings.

7. Watch the Wonder of Water

Enjoy the rhythmic fountains of KLCC during the evenings. These dancing beauties sway to different songs and are an absolutely free treat!

8. Read a Little

If you are an avid reader, heading to the National Library of Malaysia would be a great idea!  This place also offers story-telling sessions for the little ones.

9. Have a Cultural Experience

Visit the Malaysian Tourism Center to enjoy cultural performances. Do check their schedules beforehand for performance listings.

10. Learn About ‘Pewter Crafting’

Visit the Royal Selangor Visitor Center to learn about the art of ‘pewter crafting.’ There is also a museum to be visited along with the chance to try your hand at pewter art!

There are several Malaysia tour packages that will help you plan your trip so that all the major points of interest are covered. Over and above that, you always have this list to keep handy whenever you want to have a free, but fun, adventure in the country!
