"Explore the diverse architecture, cultures and
landmarks of Kuala Lumpur during this scenic,
half-day tour of the city.
National Monument and Independence Square
Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately
75-minute drive to the National Monument. Designed by acclaimed sculptor Felix
De Weldon, this 50-foot-high (15-metre-high) bronze monument was constructed in
1966. After a photo stop here, re-board your coach and drive past the railway
station en route to a photo stop at Independence Square . The former site of the
Royal Selangor Club, Independence Square overlooks the main
historical buildings of the city.
Jamek Mosque and KL Tower
Next, proceed to the Jamek Mosque. Built in
1909, it is the oldest mosque in Kuala Lumpur , and features graceful
arches and domes that are reminiscent of Moorish architecture. After a photo
stop here, your tour concludes with a visit to KL Tower. Upon arrival, proceed
to the Observation Deck for breath-taking panoramic views of the city.
Following your visit, re-board the coach and
commence the approximately one-hour drive back to the pier."
