Kuala Lumpur Old Railway Station
Stesen Keretapi Kuala Lumpur
A white railway station in Moorish-Mughal style, completed in 1910, with spires and domes rising above the matching railway administration building across the street.
Kuala Lumpur Old Railway Station was designed by British architect A.B. Hubback and opened in 1910. Its white building blends Moorish, Mughal and neoclassical elements, with spires and onion domes across the roof, and it is often called one of the most beautiful railway stations in the East. After KL Sentral opened in 2001, most long-distance trains moved to the new station, but the old one still serves commuter lines, and visitors can wander freely inside and take photos. The Malayan Railway Administration Building across the road was also designed by Hubback and is good to photograph together. The National Mosque is only one road away, so the two can be explored on foot. Getting there: KTM Komuter Kuala Lumpur station.
