Menara Olympia

The Petronas Towers may be the most well-known landmark of Malaysia, but the Menara Olympia is not too far behind. This is the country’s pride and joy – the 421 meters high tower is a telecommunications center – the fourth tallest in the world, which also offers a spectacular view of the city. AsiaRooms.com is here offering you all the information regarding Menara Olympia, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.

The word ‘Menara’ in Malay stands for ‘tower’ which is the architectural basis of Islamic architecture and is also called the mugama or squinch. If you tend to be critical by nature, you will not find the structure extravagantly splendid, except for the beautiful blue and ochre tile work that is embellished in the entrance. The travelers would love to take in the bird’s eye view of the city where life gathers its pace unhindered.

The Menara Olympia that stands atop a hillock which is part of the Bukit Nanas reserve is surrounded by different species of animals and greenery. There is a lift to take tourists to the top of the tower. It whizzes up to the observatory deck at an ear-shattering velocity, until you find yourself looking out into the vista of the city.
