Yes, definitely worth visiting. The Sultan Abdul Samad Building is the main architectural symbol and landmark of Kuala Lumpur, featured on all postcards and magnets. It is not just a beautiful building, but a key point on the map for any tourist visiting the capital of Malaysia.

It is the architectural dominant of the historic Merdeka Square and is a magnificent example of a blend of Moorish and Indo-Saracenic styles: red brick, white stone trim, copper domes, and a 41-meter clock tower. It is worth seeing at least for the impressive photos, which turn out great both during the day against the green lawn and especially in the evening when the golden illumination turns the facade into a fairy-tale spectacle.

The visit fits conveniently into a walking route through the historic center. Nearby are other important attractions: Jamek Mosque, Central Market (Pasar Seni), and the Klang River waterfront with the evening "River of Life" show. You can see everything in a couple of hours.

What's inside? The interior of the building is quite modest β€” ordinary administrative corridors and stairs. However, it is worth going up to the second floor to enjoy excellent views of Merdeka Square and the new super-skyscraper Merdeka 118 from the balconies. Inside, there is also a cozy courtyard and a restroom.

Thus, this is one of the top locations in Kuala Lumpur. Even if you do not plan to go inside, an external inspection of this historical monument will leave vivid impressions and give an understanding of the city's colonial past.
