Independence Square

This was a very pleasant sight seeing experience. There's a large field where you can lounge about or even have a picnic. This place is best experienced just before sunset. Also you can see in the distance, the Twin Towers and KL tower. A very nice and relaxing experience.

Independence Square in Kuala Lumpur is a historical gem that beautifully showcases Malaysia's rich heritage. The square is well-maintained and offers a picturesque setting with its colonial-era buildings, lush green lawns, and the iconic flagpole. It’s a perfect spot for history buffs and tourists alike, providing a serene atmosphere to reflect on the nation’s journey. A visit here is both educational and inspiring—highly recommended!

Beautiful buildings and scenery all around. There was a car show when I went, that was kinda of a pleasant surprise since I’m a petrol head, but it would have been lovely also to see the independence square without all the commotion. Struggled getting a WC though 😂😂🫢 Make sure you locate one for convenience.

Amazing square, one of the best squares I have been to. It is very relaxing with a great view, which has a combination of colonial and modern Malaysian elements. Feeling really happy that I came here.

I just drive past here every time, and never really stroll around here. I came here when I was a kid, but it didn't have much of an impact. There used to be a parade here every National Day, but I don't know when it was moved to Putrajaya. This is one of the iconic check-in spots in Kuala Lumpur, and there are historical buildings nearby. It's worth visiting 👍🏻.

Merdeka Square, is a must-visit historical landmark in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Stepping into this iconic square feels like taking a journey back in time to Malaysia's independence era. The square is surrounded by stunning colonial-era buildings, which add to the area's charm and historical significance. The open space is perfect for a leisurely stroll, and the well-maintained lawn makes it a great spot for photos or simply soaking in the atmosphere. I visited during the late afternoon, and the golden hour light made the entire square look magical. The area is clean, well-organized, and easily accessible by public transport. There are also plenty of nearby attractions, like the Kuala Lumpur City Gallery and Central Market, making it a great starting point for exploring the city. Whether you're a history buff, a photography enthusiast, or just looking for a peaceful place to relax, Merdeka Square is a must-see. Highly recommended for locals and tourists alike! **Tips for visitors:** - Visit early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat. - Don’t forget to check out the nearby museums and galleries. - Weekdays are less crowded compared to weekends. A truly memorable experience that I’ll cherish forever! 🌟🇲🇾

Independence Square is also known as Merdeka Square. The square is actually the grass field where the world’s tallest flagpole sits. I came here on the weekend. It is a nice and quiet area during the day. The Main Street in the front is closed to vehicle traffic. A fairly big area to wander at leisure. Nearby is the National History Museum, Cop’s Fountain & Sultan Abdul Samed Building (called the Big Ben of Malaysia). There is some walking but there isn’t any seating. I imagine the area is beautifully lit at night. From the square, KL Tower and Petronas Tower are visible.

Merdeska Square is a popular check-in point for tourists. It is surrounded by beautiful buildings and many important places. It is recommended to go in the evening until night. The view is very beautiful.

This picturesque square is known for a couple of things. It was used as a cricket green for the Selangor Club. It is also the site of the National Day Parade, as this was where the Malyasian flag of independence was raised in 1957. Thirdly, the Sultan Abdul Samad building overlooks the square. It formerly housed government offices for the British government. This is a great place to stop by for a photo and the Sultan building does have fine architecture. However, there is not much else to do here besides sitting down and taking in the views.

The other name for Merdeka Square, If you are fan of country history love old English building, The National Parade is held there most of the time. Below Dataran Merdeka field there are shopping outlets.

One of the two places that become the main spots for the annual National Day parade. The other one is the Putrajaya itself. Located in the middle of Kuala Lumpur, this national monuments certainly hard to be missed. The Sultan Abdul Samad building was once the main court of the country and now becomes a monument. The building alone is as old as the Malaysia country. Opposite side of the building is a large field that well maintained by the government. The Selangor Royal Club also is on the side.

A places of witness to our country's independence day and a places full of memories to our country. Not only a historical place, also the places became one of the main celebration such as New year celebration, iftar day- where most people bring their foods and iftar together! and many more event held at this places.
