I am strong believer of exploring places on foot or by using public transport if possible. That way you get the real flavor of the place, it's people and some of the cultural aspects. Otherwise you see the place only from touristic viewpoint and miss out the real stuff. Having said that, it also depends upon the time you have and who else is there in your group. So after considering various factors, you decide how you want to explore a place. When I was in Kuala Lumpur for a day, I had booked the cab to explore some of the main places to see in Kuala Lumpur City. But at the same time, I found opportunities to walk around the city and explore some of the things which I may have missed otherwise.
Area around Sultan Abdul Samad Building is pretty favorable if you like to walk around the city.
Supposedly the clock tower in this building is compared with London Clock tower although I felt that it's not a fair comparison. There is a huge ground in front of Sultan Abdul Samad Building , which is used for organizing some of the popular events in the city.
This is almost city centre and as you walk, you would see some interesting shops and restaurants around this place. As you go towards the back side of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building , there is a well maintained water body with well paved paths around it and fountains. From here you see high rise buildings and their reflections in the market.
As you move a little away while walking, you are actually close to the KLCC - Kuala Lumpur City Centre.
This place is easily approachable through Metro as it's located at walkable distance and National Mosque of Malaysia is also pretty close to Sultan Abdul Samad Building.
