I cheated with the whole walking tour because I wasn't feeling well after walking for nearly two hours while under the sun. Guide yourself with a map of KL. Tourist spots are situated very near each other anyways. Leave a Comment Address: KL city

Just across the street of the Railway station is its Administration Building . Another fine example of the British colonial adaptation of Moorish architecture. It is linked to the station by an underground thoroughfare. The railway station was transferred to the spanking new KL Sentral in Brickfields on April 16, 2001 Leave a Comment

Like the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, the KL Railway Station reflects the influence of Moorish architecture.
The original structure was built in 1910, and saw extensive renovations in 1986 to incorporate modern facilities.
From here, passengers can catch a diesel train to most cities and towns in Peninsular Malaysia, and also to Singapore and Thailand. Leave a Comment Address: Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin

Located at Jalan Hishamuddin, this Moorish-style terminal was designed by architect A.B. Hubbock, who also designed the Masjid Jam. Built in 1910, it underwent extensive renovations in 1986. It is equipped with air-conditioned waiting halls, snack kiosks, money changing booths, souvenir shops, restaurants and a tourist information counter. Across the street is the Malayan Railway Administration Building, another fine example of the British colonial adaptation of Moorish architecture. It is linked to the station by an underground thoroughfare.
For best views of the train station, go to Jalan Hishamuddin near the Masjid Negara - Leave a Comment Address: Jalan Hishamuddin

Now only used for commuter trains this was the main rail station in KL until the building of the new Sentral station. Spires and arches look great from the outside and in truth that's the best view, nothing too interesting inside. worth a visit. Leave a Comment

Outside the admin building of the old railway station is also a good spot for taking pictures. It is just beside the old railway station, and right in front of the National Mosque.

The KUALA LUMPUR RAILWAY STATION, located at Jalan Hishamuddin, provide further examples of Moorish inspired architecture. Architect A.B. Hubback continued to feature arches, domes and minarets with relish, creating what has come to be described as a Byzantine Arabian nights fantasyland. It was built in 1910 and underwent extensive renovations in 1986 which also linked it to the General Post Office at Dayabumi. It is equipped with air-conditioned waiting halls, snack kiosks, money changing booths, souvenir shops, restaurants and a tourist information counter.
My Visit:
We had a quick stop at this building as we were running out of time for the rest of our tour. The guide just told us a little of the history of this architecture then showed us the new KL Railway station on our way. Leave a Comment Address: Jalan Hishamuddin

The Malayan Railway Administration Building closely resembles the KL Train Station that lies across the street with its share of domes and other adaptations of Moorish architecture. An underground passage links the two buildings together. The building is not open to the public.
