Kuala Lumpur: KL City Gallery

Our guesthouse in Raizzy’s is located at 165 G. Jalan Tun H.S Lee, Kuala Lumpur.  It is next to tourist spot Sri Maha Mariamman Temple.  From our guesthouse we just walked in going to KL City Gallery.

Welcome to KL City Gallery

Discovering Kuala Lumpur

There is no admission fee so there is no reason to pass it up. Visiting this place is so worth it.  You will learn a lot about Kuala Lumpur. 

KL City Gallery is located at the heart of Merdeka Square.  It is between the City Library and History Museum.  Its exact location is at ARCH Collection Sdn. Bhd., No. 27, Jalan Raja, Dataran Merdeka, 50050 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The closest LRT station are Pasar Seni and Masjid Jamek.  It is just a 5 minute walk from the Central Market.  This amazing 115 year old heritage building faces the iconic 100-meter flagpole. 

The building was built in 1899.  It occupies the building which was formerly the Government Printing Press.  This 115 year old building is a must visit for everyone. The gallery will show you the past, present and future of Kuala Lumpur.

Thank You KL City Gallery

We had a great time in visiting the gallery!  I've discovered when we got home in the Philippines that the gallery is offering a 2-hour free tour of the historic surrounding buildings every Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.  Sayang! There are a lot of free tours in Kuala Lumpur for tourists, only if we have known earlier.  Anyway this information can greatly help you to avail of those freebies when you tour Kuala Lumpur.

  3. Speaking of Malaysia, you should also visit Johor Bahru. There are plenty of transport services that can bring you from Singapore to Johor such as JohorTransport.com. See http://bitly.com/1xnP6GB for details.
