Menara KL

A trip to Kuala Lumpur will simply not be complete without a visit to the Menara KL!

Located in the heart of the Golden Triangle, Kuala Lumpur's business and entertainment district, the Tower is perched at 421 metres/1,403 feet. Bukit Nanas itself, where the tower is built, is 94 metres above sea level. The Tower is the second tallest tower in Asia today.

The Tower complex comprises a 3 level basement. The lower ground floor houses the control/maintenance room and a water reservoir for fire fighting. At the upper ground floor, an 86 metres long pedestrian mall adjoins the main entrance featuring a reflective pool in its centre. The facilities include outlet shops, a mini-theatre, an amphitheatre, a fast-food restaurant and a prayer-room.

Two lifts provide access to the top of the tower in approximately 1 minute and have a capacity of 800 persons per hour. Visitors will find an observation platform on the first level and a revolving restaurant on the second level. The whole tower head is cladded in glass (double-glazed with gas infilled) arranged in the traditional Islamic form of the "muqarnas". With its unique architectural heritage, Menara KL has become a prime tourist attraction in the capital city.

The last section of Menara Kuala Lumpur is an 86 metres long telecommunication antenna mast.

Access to the Tower is from Jalan P. Ramlee via Jalan Punchak with parking provided for up to 184 vehicles.
