How to Beat the Crowds at KL Tower
KL Tower has an indoor observation deck and the higher open-air Sky Deck, with the glass Sky Box for photos. Tickets cost more for the Sky Deck. Go in the late morning for short queues and clear views, or book sunset ahead, when the Sky Box queue is longest. It has better views of the Petronas Towers than the towers themselves.
