Travel questions? See Good to know in the travel guide below.
Planning your trip to Kuala Lumpur
Contains sponsored linksSIGGRAPH Asia 2026 brings the computer graphics and interactive techniques community to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from 1 to 4 December. The venue sits in the KLCC precinct, directly beside the Petronas Twin Towers and the landscaped KLCC Park. Early December falls in the northeast monsoon season, so expect hot, humid days around 32 °C and frequent afternoon thunderstorms, which makes the covered walkways linking the convention centre to Suria KLCC mall and nearby hotels especially welcome.
Getting there & around
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), with terminals KLIA and KLIA2, is about 50–60 km south of the city. The KLIA Ekspres train reaches KL Sentral in around 30 to 40 minutes; from there, the LRT or a taxi takes you to KLCC. Direct taxis and ride-hailing cars take about an hour. Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB) in Subang serves some regional flights.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Malaysia has fast, affordable mobile data, and ride-hailing apps are the easiest way to move around KL after sessions. Setting up a Malaysian eSIM before you fly means you can book a car straight from the airport. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Petronas Twin Towers Skybridge. Right next to the convention centre, the tour takes you to the skybridge on the 41st floor and an observation deck higher up. Timed tickets sell out, so book early for a morning slot before sessions. The visit takes about 45 minutes. Tickets on Klook →
Aquaria KLCC. This aquarium is inside the convention centre complex itself, reached from the concourse level. Its 90-metre underwater tunnel with sharks and rays is a good break between talks or on a rainy afternoon. Allow about 90 minutes, and go on a weekday to avoid family crowds. Tickets on Klook →
Batu Caves. This Hindu temple complex, reached by a towering flight of colourful steps, lies about 13 km north of the city centre by KTM Komuter train or car. Go early in the morning to beat the heat and the December afternoon storms. Allow two to three hours including travel; dress modestly for temple areas.
Jalan Alor and Bukit Bintang. About 15–20 minutes' walk from KLCC via a covered elevated walkway, Bukit Bintang is KL's shopping and nightlife hub. Jalan Alor, one block over, comes alive after dark with street-food stalls serving satay, char kway teow and durian. Go after 7 pm and allow two hours.
Good to know
How do I get from KLIA to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre?
Take the KLIA Ekspres to KL Sentral, then the LRT or a taxi to KLCC; allow about an hour. A direct taxi or ride-hailing car takes a similar time, depending on traffic.
What is the weather in Kuala Lumpur in early December?
Hot and humid, with highs around 31–33 °C and heavy afternoon or evening downpours common during the monsoon season. Carry an umbrella and expect strong air conditioning indoors.
Do I need a visa for Malaysia?
Many nationalities can enter visa-free for short visits, but most foreign visitors must complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card online before arrival. Check the rules for your passport with official Malaysian immigration sources.
