About this guide

DataranMerdeka.com is an independent guide to Dataran Merdeka (Merdeka Square) in Kuala Lumpur and the walking, bike and city tours that stop there. We are not Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), the KL City Gallery, the operators of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, a tour operator or Viator, and the site name describes the place we write about rather than a business. For official tourist information, see Tourism Malaysia.

Facts here are checked against the operators' own listings on Viator (including recent guest reviews), official and heritage sources such as Warisan KL and the KL City Gallery, and Malaysian news reports. Prices, opening hours and routes change; when a listing and this page disagree, the listing at checkout wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a Viator link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we recommend, including telling you that the square itself is free and needs no tour. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
