About Kuala Lumpur Railway Station
The Kuala Lumpur Railway Station is a historic railway station in central Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, located on Jalan Sultan Hisham. Completed in 1910 and designed by architect Arthur Benison Hubback, it is renowned for its Moorish, Indo-Saracenic and Mughal architectural style. Once the city's main rail hub until KL Sentral opened in 2001, it now serves KTM Komuter services and stands as a gazetted heritage building admired for its domes, arches and ornate facade.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a grand heritage railway building featuring white Moorish-style domes, minarets, horseshoe arches and intricate colonnades. The station is still operational for KTM Komuter services, with a main hall, ticket counters and platforms. Most visitors view and photograph the ornate exterior facade and entrance hall, explore the platform area with a valid ticket, and observe the blend of Eastern and Western architectural details in a central city setting opposite the Dayabumi Complex.
