Regular bus and rail services are also available to and from KL all the way north to Thailand and to the south to Singapore. KL's main bus terminal, Puduraya, is just east of Chinatown. Buses also run out of KL Sentral(Central Station), also the hub of Malaysia's national railway system, the Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM).

Buses and city trains and the fast and frequent Light Rail (LRT) and monorail systems help you to get to your destination within the city center with minimum fuss.

By far the most impressive and most photographed edifice around Merdeka Square the building design is a blend of Moghul, Moorish, Arab, and British neoclassical architecture. The building which initially served as the center of British colonial administration in Malaysia, today houses the Judicial Department on one end and Infokraf, a centre for Malaysian handicrafts, on the other. The road fronting the building is often the centre of National Day parades and other major celebrations.
