What people say, in short
Most visitors recommend KL Tower, and several prefer its views to those from the Twin Towers, with one visitor liking the sky deck and another saying the sky terrace is worth it. One visitor says it needs no advance booking, while another advises booking ahead, and one visitor found no wait on an early-morning visit but notes it is a fair distance from other sights. Caveats: one visitor says haze now blocks skyline views, another finds it less interesting, and one ranks it second after the Twin Towers. One visitor calls it passable but lacking atmosphere, and another suggests the outdoor balcony rather than the enclosed floor below.
