Komtar Skywalk, Glass skywalk on the 68th floor of Komtar in George Town, Malaysia

Komtar Skywalk is a glass footbridge extending 16 meters outward from the 68th floor of Komtar Tower in George Town. It sits approximately 249 meters above ground and offers unobstructed views across the city and surrounding areas.

In 2012 Only World Group won a RM50 million contract to revitalise Komtar, then widely regarded as a white elephant; the work added a banquet hall, a 65th-floor sky lounge and a summit restaurant, together branded The Top. The Skywalk itself occupies a newly added 68th floor, which raised the tower to 248.7 metres, and opened on 18 December 2016 before Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and OWG chief executive Richard Koh.

The name Rainbow Skywalk comes from the coloured lighting installed along the glass edge, which visitors see after dark. The walkway is part of The Top, the group of attractions that Only World Group built inside Komtar, alongside a banquet hall, a 65th-floor sky lounge and a summit restaurant. A white sign at the entrance reads "ENTRANCE" and warns that admission requires a wristband.

The Skywalk opens daily from 11am to 10pm, so early-morning visits are not possible. Three high-speed bubble lifts run along Komtar's facade, one connecting level 59 with the 68th floor; their glass walls were concealed in 2016 on safety advice. A wristband is required for admission, as the sign at the glass entrance states.

The horseshoe-shaped structure features specially heat-treated glass panels that underwent rigorous safety testing before installation. This transparent design allows visitors to look directly downward, creating an uncommon sense of exposure.
