About Saloma Link

Saloma Link, officially Pintasan Saloma, is a 69-metre pedestrian bridge connecting the KLCC area with Kampung Baru. Tourism Malaysia says the bridge is named for the Malaysian singer, actress and fashion icon Saloma. Its enclosure takes inspiration from sirih junjung, the ceremonial betel-leaf arrangement used in Malay weddings. The link is both useful infrastructure over a major road corridor and a contemporary city landmark, with the Petronas Twin Towers forming part of its best-known skyline view.

What's inside

The experience is the crossing itself: a covered, illuminated pedestrian span between the modern towers of KLCC and the food and heritage streets of Kampung Baru. Tourism Malaysia highlights the changing LED display, skyline angles and cultural design reference rather than galleries or a managed interior. There are no permanent exhibits recorded. Treat both ends as part of the visit, since the contrast between the two districts explains why the bridge was built.

How long to spend

Photography, skyline viewing and onward walking in Kampung Baru can extend the stop considerably. Keep moving when the bridge is busy and separate the actual crossing time from any meal or district exploration. This guide does not impose a fixed duration on an open public link.

Season and crowds

Open 24 hours daily. Tourism Malaysia describes Saloma Link as constantly accessible. There is no scheduled weekly closure day. The LED display is associated with night views, but that does not prove a guaranteed nightly programme or colour sequence. Check Kuala Lumpur authority notices before a special journey and do not rely on social-media posts as an operator timetable.

Tickets

Free general admission; no ticket is required. It functions as a pedestrian connection rather than a gated attraction, but the responsible authority’s current access conditions should govern. Food, transport, guided walks and nearby venues are separate expenses. No fee should be invented merely to complete a practical card, and no free-access claim should be extended to private activities at either end.

Getting there

Take the Rapid KL Kelana Jaya Line to Kampung Baru LRT station for the Kampong Bharu approach. Tourism Malaysia identifies Kampung Baru LRT station and Public Bank Tower in KLCC as the two named access points. Tourism Malaysia identifies access from Kampung Baru LRT station on one side and the Public Bank Tower area in KLCC on the other. The official Japanese tourism guide also describes the KLCC station approach. Choose the entrance that fits the onward district plan and use current transport notices before travel.

What to watch out for

The architect documents ramps and lifts alongside stairs to provide accessible movement along the elevated route. The step-free route uses the ramp and lift access rather than the stairs. Saloma Link is a shared pedestrian route, not a static observation deck. Keep the through-path open, watch for wet surfaces and follow any temporary barriers or event controls. Do not climb on the structure or lean equipment against the enclosure, and contact the city authority when a specific mobility condition matters.

Photography

The strongest compositions combine the illuminated enclosure with the Petronas Twin Towers or frame Kampung Baru against the modern skyline. Avoid blocking the narrow flow, keep equipment within your space and follow security instructions. Lighting colours can change, so no particular display should be promised for a planned shoot.
