Near KL Tower
Masjid Jamek 1.0 km
One of the oldest mosques in the city, standing on the spit where the Klang and Gombak rivers meet, the spot where Kuala Lumpur began. Designed by Arthur Benison Hubback and built in 1909, its domes and striped arches were the city's main place of prayer until 1965.
Petronas Twin Towers 1.0 km
A pair of 88-storey towers rising 451.9 metres over the city centre, the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004 and still the tallest twin towers anywhere. A skybridge links the two halfway up, and the park at their feet is where most people stop to look up.

An oceanarium beneath the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, steps from the Petronas Twin Towers. Its long underwater tunnel lets sharks, rays and turtles glide overhead while you walk along a moving path.
