Things to do on new years eve in Kuala Lumpur. Top fireworks, parties, hotels & restaurants for NYE 2023-2024

Petronas Towers Kuala Lumpur new years eve

Head to Malaysia's capital of Kuala Lumpur for the New Years eve celebrations and you will find some of the most spectacular fireworks in the world with the stunning backdrop of the iconic Petronas Towers, and can also take the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the opulence this city has to offer, from staggering skyscrapers to more traditional temples and of course the delicious food on offer in both restaurants and markets.

Millions of people a year choose Kuala Lumpur as their holiday destination and take advantage of the shopping malls and lively atmosphere of places like the Golden Triangle and elsewhere in the Bukit Bintang area.

Treat yourself in the lavish boutiques, marvel at the Petronas Twin Towers, which have featured in many movies that you've probably seen, before heading into the stunning KLCC shopping mall built below, or why not get some epic views from the Sky Bridge, there's nothing quite like the view from 558 feet in the air, just remember to get your tickets as it's limited per day.

For people looking to sample some great street food, head to Jalan Alor, there's plenty of street vendors and it's recommended to at least try out the fab coconut ice-cream!

New Years Eve Fireworks

Standing at an epic 451m, the huge Petronas Twin Towers are the iconic backdrop for the impressive fireworks display. A true beacon on the Kuala Lumpur skyline, so gather in and around that area for some fantastic photo opportunities.

Due to the floods last year, it was decided, in solidarity with fellow Malaysians, to cancel the fireworks and entertainment and instead illumiate the park.

So, we look forward to their return this year. The main event is held in KLCC Park, an enormous 50 acre public park where thousands of people gather to enjoy the festivities, with live music and entertainment and of course the epic fireworks display, it's by far the best location to get the fireworks with the Petronas Twin Towers in the background.

NYE Parties & Events

If you are looking to party and dance the night away, you might be more interested in venturing to Changkat Bukit Bintang. This is where you come for the best bars, clubs and restaurants, a great party atmosphere, it's in the Bukit Bintang area and expect massive crowds and a real street party vibe.

There's usually a big countdown outside Pavilion shopping mall. The place will be utterly packed, so check with whichever venue you plan on going to if they have tickets/reservation policy.

New Years Eve Hotels

Kuala Lumpur is well known for the quality of its hotels, and over the new year and Christmas period most of the top places also host their own parties and special events, so you'll often find dinner and entertainment packages are avilable along with your room booking.
