Parks & Nature
As a forest, its nothing much. But just because of its location right smack in the centre of KL, it's worth a visit.
Don't go alone coz it's often deserted. Also bring mosquito repellent!

Tugu Negara
it is a war memorial that is worth the extra effort to get to.
You have a better view here compared to the Twin Towers. The outdoor observation deck is the best. To the best of my knowledge (I haven't gone up for quite some time now) there is no time limit.
