I think as always it comes down to what interests you most. The Petronas Towers are worth a view, and going up KL Tower is worthwhile as well to give you an overview of the city. The place that I've enjoyed most close to the city is Batu Caves, about 15km from the city centre, easy enough to take a bus out there or you can try getting a cab out there (but I wish you luck in getting them to use the meter!). Apart from that, the Lake Gardens are nice with an OK museum in them, and there's a bit to see in the way of colonial buildings in the Chinatown-Little India areas, though I wouldn't say they're must sees personally. If you're looking for something different a trip to Kajang, about 45 minutes from KL Sentral, is fun if you like your satay - they have plentiful places that specialise in serving it up there, and it was good enough for me to get through 40 sticks! . Putrajaya is impressive in a sterile, planned city kind of way, but might be of interest if you're into that kind of thing . Hopefully that gives you some options anyway, and there's always shopping, eating and nightlife to fill in any gaps as well .
