Store Your Luggage Around Kuala Lumpur With Bounce 

Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is located in West-Central peninsular (west) Malaysia, about halfway along the west coast of the tin and rubber belt. The skyline is dominated by the 451 meters tall Petronas Twin Towers. This bustling area is not only one of Malaysia’s major business centers, but also the country’s largest urban area. It was designated a municipality in 1972 and became a federal territory in 1974. The city’s name, Kuala Lumpur, means “muddy estuary” in the Malay language. The moniker is appropriate for its location amid the confluence of the Kelang and Gombak rivers. The region consists of a diverse mix of Chinese, Indian, and Malay people. The city is varied in both looks and feel. Towering skyscrapers, colonial-style buildings, and stalls and markets dot the city landscape. Shopping, dining, and outdoor pursuits are just a few of the things locals and visitors to Kuala Lumpur enjoy. Bounce wants to help you take it all in without the stress and the burden of your bags. We'll happily provide short-term storage of any-sized luggage so you can experience Kuala Lumpur. 

Kuala Lumpur is no different than any other major commercial center in that you’ll find hundreds of people milling about at any time of day or night.  Given the busyness and non-stop vibe of the city, you won't want bulky bags slowing you down. Bounce can keep you moving. Store your stuff short-term and see the sights burden-free.

Kuala Lumpur, a truly diverse and unique city, has many attractions, museums, shopping opportunities, and dining establishments to round out your visit.  See architectural wonders, natural formations, amazing gardens, shopping malls, flea markets, and Chinatown.  For those who prefer to “taste” their way through the city, there are plenty of choices and options to satisfy even the pickiest of palates.  

You’ll find specialty museums galore in Kuala Lumpur. If you’ve brought the kids, you’ll likely be interested in the fun attractions and things to do as well. You’ll find amusement parks, water fun, aquariums, and some fantastic architecture reflective of the oriental culture and design. Nearby Bounce partners will gladly store your stuff while you explore.

Petronas Towers: These towers are the tallest twin towers in the world, standing 451 meters (1,480 feet) tall. Completed in 1998, the towers have their own upmarket shopping mall at the base of the structure. Take the time to see the concert hall and art gallery. Investigate the  Kuala Lumpur Convention Center and the Petrosains Science Center. Then, score a spectacular view from the double-decked Skybridge observation deck.

Batu Caves: These natural limestone caverns are not only impressive and awesome to see, but they’re also functional sacred shrines and sites. They are still used for Hindu festivals and pilgrimages. Visitors have called this a delightful break from the bustling city, though it is admittedly a long trip.

Perdana Botanical Gardens: Located inside the Tun Abdul Razak Heritage Park, this area has the largest collection of flower gardens and animal parks around.  You simply must see the Orchid Garden during your visit here. Plan your itinerary and include plenty of time for this site.

The shopping opportunities are just as unique as the population is diverse.  You can choose to browse through the many shopping malls or shop for pre-owned items at flea markets or lose yourself in the bargain hunter’s paradise, commonly known as Chinatown. The choice is yours to experience. Do so at your own pace knowing your bags are safe.  Check out nearby Bounce partner businesses to stash your stuff while you browse and shop.

Pavillion Kuala Lumpur:  Located in the center of Bukit Bintang, this award-winning shopping mall is a shopper’s paradise. Occupying over 1 million square feet, there are over 700 stores, 8 themed precincts, and the Pavillion Crystal Fountain to welcome you. 

Petaling Street Flea Market: Though not as glamorous as Bukit Bintang or KLCC, you’ll find this street quite a haven for shoppers. Vendors sell items dirt cheap at hundreds of stalls, in an area that comes alive at night.

Chinatown: This picturesque area is famous for its colors, culture, and cuisine.  It is truly a bargain hunter’s paradise where you can find anything from herbs to imitation goods. Like the flea market, stalls full of unique finds await.

If you’re looking for Chinese, Malaysian, or Indian cuisine, you’ve definitely come to the right place! The food, service, selection, and ambiance will bring you back again and again. You may find yourself being introduced to hawker stalls and becoming addicted to the food they offer.  Many restaurants and eateries prefer to err on the side of safety and security and wish for customers to carry in as little baggage as necessary. In light of these policies, nearby Bounce partners will gladly stash your stuff while you dine.

Jalan Alor: Jalan Alor is a road in Kuala Lumpur that is known for its food.  It is home to hundreds of hawker stalls, tables, open-air seating, and the down-to-earth basics of preparing food, eating, and socializing without the swanky swirl of a fancy restaurant. You’ll find the best food in Malaysia here. 

New Malaysian Kitchen: Enjoy food and drink, workshops, and cooking classes with a professional cook and author. Learn a new skill from the best!

LaZat Malaysian Cooking Class: Learn to cook, and eat your creations with hand-on cooking classes for an authentic Malaysian taste. Take home a new skill to share with family and friends.


Kuala Lumpur’s history is steeped in myths and legends. To this day, no one’s quite sure who founded the city or who even named it. What we do know is that a man named Yap Ah Loy played a crucial role in Kuala Lumpur’s development. Loy was the captain of China from 1868 to 1885. During this time, he reshaped Kuala Lumpur from a small settlement into a large city – albeit in a very cold, calculating fashion. Today, Kuala Lumpur is known for its expansive railroad system and as one of the world’s most popular tourist locales. 

The “Muddy Confluence” is also one of the world’s most densely populated cities. As of 2017, about 1.8 million people call Kuala Lumpur home. That number is already large in and of itself, but it pales in comparison to the 13 million tourists who visit the city each year.  Unfortunately, many of those tourists are often targeted by thieves and burglars. Pickpockets are also quite active in Kuala Lumpur – as well as card game scammers and con men. However, our data suggests that violent crime is low. When you visit Kuala Lumpur, you’ll need to go the extra mile to protect your property. Bounce’s luggage storage services are here to help. Our secure storage stations are available 24/7, Monday through Sunday. Download the app to easily book storage.

“What’s the best way to get around Kuala Lumpur?”

Driving is the best way to travel around the Muddy Confluence. Whether you rent a car or whether you hail a ride-sharing service, driving is your best bet.

“Is public transportation in Kuala Lumpur safe?”

Kuala Lumpur’s buses and trains are generally safe. However, it’s worth noting criminals may attempt to steal your property on particularly crowded days. When you’re waiting for your ride, and even when you’re onboard your bus or train, stay alert.

“What’s the best neighborhood to stay in Kuala Lumpur?”

Bukit Bintang is the Muddy Confluence’s main shopping district. Brands and retailers from all around the world can be found here. Most of the city’s luxury hotels are also nearby, as well as many of its most popular spas.

“What are the best museums to visit in Kuala Lumpur?”

The Royal Malaysia Police Museum, Kuala Lumpur City Gallery, Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia, and the Petrosains Science Discovery Centre are some of the city’s most popular exhibits. 

“What’s the best time of year to visit Kuala Lumpur?”

The best times to visit Kuala Lumpur are either very early in the year or very late. The city isn’t called the Muddy Confluence without reason. In general, Kuala Lumpur is a humid and rainy city. However, the periods between December and February tend to be less humid and much less wet.
