KL Tower (Menara KL)
If going to sky-high rooftop bars are not your thing, visiting the KL Tower (also known as Menara KL) is a great alternative. The roof of the pod stands at 335 metres (1099 feet), with a stairwell and elevator that lets you access the upper area.

This communications tower also happens to be the 7th tallest freestanding building in the world, so you can be guaranteed of truly stunning panoramic views of the city! If you fancy a bite after all the picture-snapping, head down to the tower's revolving restaurant for a delicious meal accompanied by scenic views of KL's skyline.
