Komtar Skywalk, Glass footbridge at Komtar Tower in George Town, Malaysia

The Komtar Skywalk extends 16 meters outward from the 68th floor, providing complete views of George Town and its surrounding areas from 249 meters above ground.

The structure opened in December 2016 as part of a RM50 million renovation project to transform the Komtar Tower from an underused building into a major attraction.

The glass walkway represents modern Malaysian engineering excellence while offering visitors a chance to observe the city's mix of colonial and Asian architecture.

Three high-speed elevators transport visitors to the observation deck, which operates daily from 11 AM to 10 PM with different rates for Malaysian and international guests.

The horseshoe-shaped cantilever bridge features specialized heat-treated glass panels tested by Universiti Sains Malaysia to support the weight of 16 adults simultaneously.
