On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 1.The Petronas Twin Towers — The soaring, silvery symbol of modern Malaysia — the world's tallest twin towers, joined by a double-decker skybridge, dazzling by day and spectacular lit up at night above the fountains of KLCC park. Go up to the skybridge and observation deck (book ahead), or simply admire them from the park lawn after dark. KL's unmissable icon.
- 3.KL Tower (Menara KL) — The telecoms tower rising from a hilltop patch of rainforest, and the best 360° view in the city — higher-feeling than the Petronas deck, with a glass Sky Box for the brave and a revolving restaurant. Come near sunset to watch the towers and the whole sprawl light up. The classic KL panorama, and a fun contrast to the skyscrapers.
- 12.A rooftop bar with tower views — KL does the sky-high bar better than almost anywhere — infinity-edge terraces and cocktail lounges high above the streets, staring straight at the floodlit Petronas Towers. Dress up, ride the lift, and toast the skyline; from the famous Heli Lounge on a helipad to the KLCC-view rooftops, it's the city's most glamorous night out.
- 13.KL Forest Eco Park canopy walk — A patch of genuine tropical rainforest that survives right in the city centre below the KL Tower — a canopy walkway swaying through the treetops, with skyscrapers glinting between the leaves. A quick, surprising dose of jungle and birdsong minutes from the malls; combine it with the tower for a green half-hour in the middle of KL.
