What to expect
At a height of 451.9m, the magnificent Petronas Twin Towers is a world-renowned icon of modern Malaysia. It is the centre piece of the Kuala Lumpur city centre (KLCC) development, which comprises landmarks such as the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Suria KLCC shopping mall, star-rated hotels, a mosque as well as the immaculately landscaped KLCC Park. Visit to the Sky-bridge on the 41st Floor and Viewing Deck on the 86th Floor.
KLCC Park
The KLCC Park is an urban park in Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The park has been designed to provide greenery to Petronas Twin Towers and the areas surrounding it.
The National Monument was built to recognise and honour those who gave up their lives in the cause for peace and freedom, particularly during the nation's struggle against the threat of communism. Within the National Monument grounds is one of the world's largest free-standing bronze sculptures. It was sculpted in 1966 by Felix de Weldon, who was also the creator of the famous Iwo Jima monument in Washington DC.
On 31 August 1957, the Union Jack was lowered at Dataran Merdeka to mark Malaysia’s independence from colonial rule. Hence the name, Dataran Merdeka, which means ‘Independence Square’. In its heyday, the square used to be the venue for parades, cricket matches and other important occasions. Today, this historic heart of KL is preserved with beautifully manicured lawns, terraces and a fountain. Adjacent to Dataran Merdeka is the Royal Selangor Club, a mock-Tudor structure with an interesting history. The 100m high flagpole at Dataran Merdeka is one of the tallest in the world.
Masjid Negara is one of the most distinguished landmarks in the city. It has a unique star-shaped dome and a 73m high minaret. The National Mosque is situated fringing the KL Lake Gardens. Visitors are advised to dress appropriately when visiting the mosque. Women will be required to wear headscarves. Visitors who are interested in Islamic arts can visit the Islamic Arts Centre situated overlooking the mosque.
One of the most prominent and distinguished landmarks of KL, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building is an enduring attraction amidst the rapidly changing city skyline. Built in 1897, the building was named after the reigning monarch at the time. The stately edifice served as the government administrative building during the British era. Constructed entirely of brick, it boasts a Mahometan or Neo-Saracenic style with an imposing porch, graceful arches, shiny copper domes and a 41.2m high clock tower. The building houses a Tourist Information Centre.
Kuala Lumpur City Gallery
KL City Gallery was founded in 1989 after the building saw various changes in purpose and occupier after it ceased to be used as a printing office. Tenants included the Ministry of Labour and the Postal Authorities. The building consists of two floors of exhibition space, a cafe, a museum shop, and acts as a tourist information centre.
Istana Negara or the National Palace is the official residence of the King of Malaysia. This majestic edifice situated at Jalan Duta officially became the National Palace in November 2011, replacing the old palace in Jalan Istana. It has 22 domes, with the largest dome reaching up to a height of 40 metres. Note: Visits are limited to the outside.
Malayan Railway Administration Building
One of the most beautiful old buildings of Malaysia, Railway Station and Administration Building is a great piece of Moorish architecture.
The River of Life is one of the attractions of Kuala Lumpur, which is located near to the Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad, the oldest mosque in the city. It is a convergence point of two rivers, namely the Klang River and the Gombak River.
