The busy part of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman is in between Jalan Tun Perak (Dataran Merdeka, Merdeka Square) and Jalan Sultan Ismail. A good place to stop is the Sogo shopping mall.
By Rail
The Bandaraya station on the STAR line is on Jalan Raja Laut, which is parallel to Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. Alternatively, you can get off at Masjid Jamek (both lines), walk into the little lane that leads into Little India and cut across the alley onto Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

"
Get a whiff of the heartbeat of KL at this popular shopping haunt."
Long before modern shopping centres flooded Kuala Lumpur, the city folks would come by the droves to the pre-war buildings to do their daily shopping.
Remnants of those bygone days such as GS Gill, P. Lal Store and PH Henry still stand strong to serve their loyal clientele while others have come and gone. Shoppers get to choose from a wide range of textiles, quality imported leather goods, winter clothing, sports gear, carpets, bags and luggages, and more.
On the modern side of things, Sogo Shopping Complex and Maju Junction Mall can be found along this road to give shoppers more choice.
Lorong Tuanku Abdul Rahman undergoes a transformation every Saturday from 5.00 pm -10.00 pm, where the road is closed to traffic and blooms into a night market filled with stalls that offer an assortment of goods in the open air.
Do not miss stopping by Little India, just parallel to Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. Experience the authentic ambiance of an Indian bazaar. Chinatown (Petaling Street) is just a 10-minutes walk away, so be sure to drop by there, too.
