 | Kuala Lumpur Menara Telecommunications Tower Reviews | 1 - 10 of 116 |  |
Menara KL located at Bukit Nanas is 421 meters is the 4th tallest telecommunication tower in the world. On a clear day you can see as far a Genting Highlands.
The glass shape diamonds arranged according to the form of the traditional Islamic 'Muqarnas' can be seen at the lobby entrance and lift lobby area. This is really beautiful.
This tower was completed in 1996. I have the opportunity to see it while it was being built and it was wonderful. We took the lift to the restaurant and then the stair to the observations area and outside to the telecommunication antenna area.
But now only the Observations deck and revolving restaurant are open for public.
Open daily from 10am-10pm

An innovative combination of retail, leisure, entertainment and most of all a hi-tech center for telecommunications. Completed in May, 1996 it seems the country's main telecommunications and multimedia broadcasting tower, Menara Kuala Lumpur (also known as KL Tower) rises to a height of 421meters. Bukit Nanas itself, where the tower is built, is 94 meters above sea level.It is located in the heart of the Golden Triangle at the epicenter of Kuala Lumpur's business and entertainment district.

Menara Kuala Lumpur, one of the famous sky scrappers in South East Asia, has a breathaking height of 421 meter. It is highly recommended for you to visit Observation Deck, where at 276 meter above ground level, you will see from different side a breathaking KL city scene. In every window, there is also picture to show how the scenery looks like when the weather is clear (it was foggy days at our visit). It’s awesome!! The tour guide is multilingual audio tape that tells you detail about the Menara. On the wall, also there are highest tower worldwide (which I think needs to be revised when other highest tower in the world come to end of reconstruction) Romantic dinner can be done at the height. Treat your love ones with savory cuisine and tasty aerial view of KL. Leave a Comment

The world’s fourth tallest communications tower, Kuala Lumpur Tower has views which may be considered better than those at Petronas. When we went up there, there still wasn’t a zoo, but now I read that a zoo exists in this site!
I am also not sure but I think I saw some golden Islamic design at the top of this tower --- I am getting early Alzheimmer's. But definitely, this tower also acts as the Islamic falak observatory to look for the crescent moon for marking the beginning of Muslim month of Ramadhan.
Also called Menara Kuala Lumpur, the antennae of this tower reaches 1381 ft, and somewhere at the top is the Seri Angkasa revolving restaurant. The high-speed lift takes you to the observation deck where you can view the greens of the Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve.
There is also a reverse bungee called the G-Force – where you can show your friendas the horrendous experience recorded on DVD.
We just rode a taxi to this place, but you can use the KL Monorail and PUTRA LRT. The nearest PUTRA LRT station to Kuala Lumpur Tower is the Dang Wangi station. If taking the KL Monorail, disembark at the Bukit Nanas station and either walk up Jalan Sultan Ismail, then turn right on Jalan P. Ramlee, and right again up the hill. Or just take a taxi from the Bukit Nanas station. Leave a Comment

Menara Telekom is the new telecommunication building built in 2001 at a height of 310 meters.
This skyscraper is Kuala Lumpur's and Malaysia's 3rd tallest skyscraper. The 55 storey building was designed by Hijjas Kasturi and Associates. It was opened in Feb 2003 by the Datuk Seri Dr. Mahatir Mohamad.
The design was inspired by the bamboo shoot. We managed to take some good shots from the LRT. There may be a confusion between the KL Tower which is called Menara Communication Tower. Leave a Comment Address: Jalan Pantai Baru, 50672 Kuala LumpurPhone: 603 2240 7307

Menara Kuala Lumpur is the fourth tallest tower in the world after the CN Tower (Toronto), Ostankino Tower (Moscow) and Oriental Pearl Tower (Shanghai). It was build on top of Bukit Nenas; a small hill amidst a forest reserve within the golden triangle area of KL.
The tower stands at 94 meters above sea- level and is 421 meters high. A welcoming sight for visitors to the tower is its beautifully landscaped pedestarian mall; complete with cascading pools and fountains along the walkaway.
On the ground floor is a theatrette (showing a short documentary on the tower), an amphitheatre, a prayer room, ticketing counters and shoplots (for fast food outlet and souvenir shops).
An interesting feature of the tower is its decoration in the form of Muqarnas - a traditional Islamic form of arts. Craftmen from KL's twin city - Isfahan of Iran - was specially brought in for this purpose.
Reaching the tower head is a 2,058 steps of stairway but fret not as the tower is also equiped with 4 express lifts that will carry the visitors up to the observation deck within 60 seconds. The stairway form part of the route for the annual KL Tower Run sporting event.
The tower head has 8 floors that include an observation platform, a revolving restaurant (Seri Angkasa), a telecommunication station, a building service floor, a brodcast station and a meteorological station.
Visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the city from its observation deck as well as the revolving restaurant. Hence, a visit to the tower is a must for a bird eye view of KL and its surrounding area.
Admission:
Malaysian - RM8 (Adults) & RM3 (Child)
Foreigners - RM15 (Adults) & RM9 (Child)

The Menara Kuala Lumpur or KL Tower as it's commonly known stands at a towering 421meters and is currently the 4th tallest towers in the world.
Situated atop the Bukit Nanas Hill in the city, it was completed in May 1996 and was officially launched by our former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahatir.
This tower is divided into 5 basic sections:
1. Foundation Base
2. Touristic Base
3. Tower Shaft
4. Tower Head
5. Antenna Mast
The architectural design of this tower was intricately produced based on the Islam tradition called 'Muqarnas' from Iran. Muqarnas was constructed in the arrangement of glasses on the domes of the lobby entrance to illustrate the 7 layers of the sky with sun rays shining from the middle. The design also represents the human journey for perfection in life.
For a picturesque sight of the Kuala Lumpur city, head up this tower with no regrets. Also you will find a revolving restaurant, an observation deck, souvinier shops and an infomation booth to serve you.
Price applies to get up to the tower.

The perfect way of starting the visit to a city it is seeing it from the sky, in KL tower you can do this and makeup an idea of what is what you are going to find down there. KL tower seems to be nearly as tall as Petronas Towers because KL telecomunication tower is build in a hill. The area of KL tower is of big and long avenues so its better going by taxi or other transport. Leave a Comment
