How to get to KL Tower (Menara KL) by metro
Station, line, walking time and exit — the complete guide.
Get off at Bukit Nanas station (Line MR). The KL Tower stands on top of Bukit Nanas hill. From Bukit Nanas monorail it is about a 5-minute walk to the tower gate on Jalan Puncak, then an uphill climb of roughly 10–15 minutes — or hop on the free shuttle buggy that runs from the gate up to the tower base.
Dang Wangi LRT station is a 5-minute walk from the same tower gate, so you can arrive on the LRT Kelana Jaya Line as an alternative to the monorail.
Alternatively: Dang Wangi station (Line KJ).
Overview
At 421 metres, Menara Kuala Lumpur — the KL Tower — is the city’s telecommunications tower and its best all-round viewpoint, with an open-air Sky Deck and glass Sky Box looking straight across to the Petronas Twin Towers. It rises from the top of Bukit Nanas, the oldest forest reserve in the country, where the free KL Forest Eco Park offers a canopy walkway among the trees. The tower is not directly above a station: the nearest rail stop is Bukit Nanas on the KL Monorail, with Dang Wangi (LRT Kelana Jaya Line) a short walk away and linked to it.
