Menara Telecommunications Tower, Kuala Lumpur

I paid the expensive price to the tower at dusk hoping to get some nice shots oly to find at the top too many people hogging the few areas to take shots from. Also the windows were rather small with too many frame obstructions.

Unique Suggestions: Try to go when not packed.

Very very basic tower, the views from the observation deck are fine with the tape description of places provided on arrival but lacks space and a good coffee shop with tables and chairs to sit, sip a coffee and enjoy the view. Did not eat at the restaurant because I was told it was a rip of and the food was not even very good.

There is no external balcony in the observation deck and no panoramic lift.

Another issue to take into account if you go by taxi is that taxis have to pay 3RM to access the top entrance and therefore drivers will request that money either from you or add it to your fare.

Unique Suggestions: If you are in the area by all means go, but it is nothing compared to the tower in Toronto for instance which is amazing.

Fun Alternatives: Travel on the monorail and take great picture...

Not really a trap, but beware when u look up for this tower for quiet a long time...u may end up in a stiff neck ;-)
