Lonely Planet review

Although the Petronas Towers are taller, the 421m Menara KL offers the best views over the city. Surrounded by a dense area of pristine jungle, this lofty spire is KL's answer to Seattle's Space Needle or Auckland's Sky Tower. This is the world's fourth-highest telecommunications tower - the bulb at the top contains the revolving restaurant Seri Angkasa and an observation deck with soaring views over KL.

This is the best place to appreciate the phenomenal growth of the city - on clear days you can see planes taking off from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, 20km from the town centre. A free shuttle bus runs between the tower and Jln P Ramlee.
