This mosque is the center of attention usually from locals and some foreign workers when it comes to Friday prayer every week. A conducive and spacious prayer hall is the main factor behind that. Due to limited parking spaces and massive traffic jams during peak hours, it is difficult for people to go there. Hence, this post will propose an alternative way to get there by using public transport.

National Mosque situated nearby Pasar Seni station (KLJ) and Kuala Lumpur station (KTM).

At Pasar Seni station, after you get off the train and pass by the ticket counter, you will see a bridge that links the station with Kuala Lumpur station.

Walk through the bridge until you see Kuala Lumpur KTM station, do not enter the ticket counter over there, just go straight further until you see a parking lot in front of Pos Malaysia building. You will see a door to an underground tunnel that cross the Jalan Kinabalu. The mosque is situated at the end of the tunnel.
