Hear From Others

I love to see big cities from above – the higher and taller, the better! So the KL Tower was a mandatory visit for me and it was definitely worthwhile! I’m pretty sure it’s also interesting at daytime.

So if you are around KL and would like to treat yourself to a fine meal, consider Atmosphere 360. The price is quite steep but the experience, I dare say, is worth it. But even if you don’t intend to dine, consider visiting the KL Tower to get excellent views of the city.

The KL Tower has become the symbol of KL, and you can spot it from all over the city as it is impressively 421 m tall. From the top, you will have the best view of the KL skyline!
