The Sultan Abdul Samad Building, dating back to the late 19th century, is one of Kuala Lumpur’s most iconic landmarks. Distinguished by its copper-clad domes and towering clocktower fitted with a one-ton bell, it was originally constructed as the administrative headquarters of the British colonial government. Today, it houses the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia as well as the Ministry of Tourism. The finest views are from across Merdeka Square, particularly in the early morning when the light is softer and the area is quieter. After dark, the building is beautifully lit, creating an entirely different atmosphere, although occasional scaffolding may obstruct parts of the façade. A visit here combines well with nearby highlights such as Merdeka Square itself, the towering flagpole, and the River of Life.

Gediminas Avenue is the main street of Vilnius, where most of the governmental and cultural institutions of Lithuania are concentrated. Nowadays, it is also a very popular shopping and dining street. It is partially a pedestrian street in the evenings when traffic is prohibited.

The St Nicholas church combines elements of Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and Neoclassical styles in its architecture. The city holds many concerts here, find out the schedule and enjoy them while you are visiting.
