Also known as Menara Kuala Lumpur, KL Tower is famous for being the tallest tower in Southeast Asia. The KL Tower is a remarkable concoction of modern and Islamic architectural styles.

KL Tower timings and best time to visit

During the months of December-January and June-August, the weather in Kuala Lumpur is mostly dry – making it the ideal time to visit. However, it is considered to be Malaysia’s peak season, with most tourists visiting during these few months. We’d recommend going during the off-season (September-November) if you don’t mind some rain and prefer a quieter experience.
