With our friendly neighbours a drive away, the possibilities are endless on a road trip across the Causeway. Here are 10 ways you can make your getaway worthwhile!
1. Shop till you drop
What’s better than shopping at your favourite stores? Snagging everything on your wish list at a discount, of course! Malaysia is chock full of outlet parks like Mitsui Outlet Park and the Johor Premium Outlets. Who says you have to spend a bomb on this season’s must-haves?

2. Eat ALL the food!
Nothing has divided foodies more than the debate over whether Singapore or Malaysia’s street food is better (or whether Singaporeans can call their hawker fare their own to begin with). Why not settle this once and for all by embarking on a food trail of Malaysia’s hidden street gems?
Caution: You won’t be able to finish all of it in one day. Best to book a room to rest that tummy!
3. Re-live your childhood
Tired of hanging out with the same old characters at Universal Studios Singapore? Groupon offers regular coach trips to Legoland Malaysia and Hello Kitty Town, where you can gallivant about while favourite toys come to life. Go on, we won’t judge.

4. Be one with nature
Trade your fast-paced urban lifestyle for some one-on-one time with Malaysia’s natural wonders. From the jaw-dropping heights of Kinabalu National Park to the relaxing beaches on Pulau Redang, this is one detox you won’t want to miss. Oh, and ditch the smartphones – these views don’t need an Instagram filter to be appreciated.
Book your digital detox through Groupon.
5. Visit a farm
Tucked away in Johor is a quaint fruit farm by the name of Desaru. Visitors get to experience life at a slower pace, with rustic activities like fruit picking, dirt kart riding, and even a fireflies cruise. Over 100 fruits are grown here, too! Harvest Moon’s got nothing on this.

6. Take your trip to new heights
At Genting Highlands! Keep a look out for the First World Hotel and Plaza, whose colourful streaks make it resemble a rainbow!

This hill resort is accessible by a one-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur or by cable car. Or you can book a round trip viaEasybook.
7. Visit all the hipster cafes on your Instagram feed
Because really, why Instagram a run-of-the-mill plate of Eggs Benedict when you can harvest #wanderlust envy in your followers by sharing snapshots of your cafe hopping adventures on this side of the pond? Don’t forget those geotags if you don’t want your followers to get FOMO.

By the way, how many cups of coffee can you down in one afternoon before the caffeine jitters hit?
8. Re-visit history
Malaysia isn’t just rich in food and nature; there’s also plenty of historical towns to explore. Take a trip down memory lane and learn a thing or two about Malaysia’s diverse history at destinations such as Malacca and Georgetown, where the iconic red and blue buildings are located respectively.

Got a thing for #archiporn? You’ll be glad to know that Kuala Lumpur is home to some stunning buildings, like the Petronas Twin Towers and Menara KL Tower. If you’re heading away from the city, Langkawi’s Sky Bridge is another architectural wonder worth checking out.
10. Spend some quality time with your loved ones
Because what better time to bond with your family or friends than on holiday? As they say – people who travel together, stay together!
