    The 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers was designed by Cesar Pelli and Associates is the Petronas Corporate Headquarters was completed in 1997.

    The towers are joined at the 41st and 42nd floors (175m above street level) by a 192 ft-long (58.4 m) double-decker Sky Bridge. The 1,483 ft (451.9 m), was one of the world's tallest buildings in the world.

    The sky bridge tour is nice as you can see some of the buildings from there but the best view of KL can be view from KL Tower. The 10 minutes tour takes you to the bridge and sees the view from the top.

    Remember to get there early morning and line up for the pass for the bridge tour. I once waited from 7:30am to get the pass for some friends and we got our pass for 9am tour. Even if you are in line at 9am it also depends on the amount of tourist in-front of you sometime your tour can be for the afternoon. The tour is free so get there early to get your pass. The Sky Bridge is opened from 9:00am to 5:00pm from Tuesdays to Sunday and closed on Monday unless its a Public holiday.

    Petronas Twin Towers: Take Sunday Drive - Jalan P Ramlee

    Along Jalan Sultan Ismail, you will drive past two sets of traffic lights (at the junctions of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, and later junction of Jalan Ampang), and the next landmark is the Concorde Hotel (& Hard Rock Cafe) on your left. Keep left as you approach the next set of lights and here you are, at Jalan P Ramlee.

    By night, this street would be filled with party animals spilling out from the ever popular Beach Club , the Thai Club, Rum Jungle (is it still there?!) and other hot clubs (the names of these outlets change frequently so it is hard to keep up! LOL) onto the streets. However, on a lazy Saturday morning, it is peaceful and rather quiet.

    Visit the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf for a great breakfast before you continue your drive.

    Hot tip:
    PS. The traffic is very bad in and around Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan P Ramlee. It is especially bad during peak office hours and when the party animals start to come out (8-9.30 am, around 12-2pm, 5-8pm and 10 pm to 1 am). If you are coming into town or trying to get onto Jalan P Ramlee Area, it is best to park just before you get to Concorde Hotel and take a walk, or approach from Jalan Raja Chulan and Jalan Tengah (from Bukit Bintang) and give these few streets a miss.

    Petronas Twin Towers: FREE TOUR !!!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • DAO
  • Updated By DAO on March 7, 2007

  • All tours of Petronas Towers are FREE! That’s the easy part. The hard part is that you must queue up EARLY or you will not get in! Only 800 tickets are issued a day. Opening hours: Tues-Thurs 0930-1730, Sat and Sun 0930-1830 and Fri 1330-1700. I would suggest you get there about 1 hour to 45 minutes before they open. I did and was given tickets for 10:15. Do NOT pay a tour guide or company any money for this – tickets are free. You watch a video first to see the story of how the towers were built and then WHOOSH! You are taken to the sky bridge. You are only given about 5 minutes up there, so take pictures quickly!

    Guidelines From The Petronas Towers Website:
     Limited number of tickets are issued per day on a first-come-first-served basis.
     Each visitor is entitled to only one ticket, and one ticket entitles to only one admission.
     Every child must be accompanied by an adult
     No advanced or group booking
     Admission is FREE !

    To visit:
     Obtain a ticket at the Concourse Level (Lower Ground Level) of the PETRONAS Twin Towers
     All baggage and personal items - including all types of camera - will be scanned by Security
     All visitors are to be decently attired.
     Visits may be cancelled / re-scheduled at short notice
     Food and drinks are not allowed to be taken up to the Skybridge
     PETRONAS reserves the right to deny admission

    I enjoyed going up to the bridge between the Petronas Twin Towers. The bridge is located on levels 41 and 42. Here's my tip: go at the end of the day. I walked right in 15 minutes before closing...no line at all. All the trips to the bridge are timed, so why wait all day. The Skybridge of the PETRONAS Twin Towers opens from Tuesday to Sunday. The Skybridge Ticket Counter opens at 8.30am on every operational days.
    The visiting hours is from 9.00am to 5.00pm.

    At 1483 feet (452m) tall, the tallest building in the world at the date of its completion, measured to the highest point.
    The towers have 32,000 windows.

    At the feet of the towers are a modern shopping mall with many restaurant choices on the upper floors.

    These towers is something , I could`nt get enough of looking at the building ;0P. I love its unique architecture. Its truely a land mark that I think all Malaysians should be really proud of.

    Well for information sake the Building is owned by Malaysia`s National Oil Company Petronas and the height of the towers is about 452m.

    One thing which is also nice to checkout is the skybridge which connects the 2 towers as an escape route for either tower. I would suggest go early to collect your free tickets because when I went there at 8am I only managed to get tickets to go up there at 13h15 and it took me just over an hour to get out to the ticket counter. Its well worth it.

    The Bridge
    by Jmill42
    At 170 meters above the street, those who do not have an immense fear of heights will enjoy the best view of Kuala Lumpur available. Only about half way up the monstrous towers, the bridge connecting the towers on levels 41 and 42 are used by workers and tourists alike. The bottom level is use mainly for the tourist tours, while the top level is off-limits. Both were put in place for the safety of the workers, as it can be used as an escape route from one building to the other for the upper level employees.

    You must reserve your free tickets to the bridge, at the base of the building. The tickets do sell out, so it is best to go the day before you would like to go, to obtain the tickets, though it is possible to get a ticket for later in the day when going early in the morning.

    One thing that immediately comes to my mind when step my feet to the famous Petronas Twin Tower is “Entrapment”, movie by Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones. Let’s leave the “Entrapment” for a while to let yourself “trap” to the grandeous design of the Twin Towers. With 451.9 meter, the structure of steel and glass, Petronas is the world’s tallest freestanding twin towers.The area of the Twin Towers also known as KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre)
    It’s definitely one of touristic spot that you must visit.

    We had the opportunitiy to do the Sky Bridge Visit this time round without having to queue early in the am for the tickets. Thanks to Zue who work at Petronas and was able to help us secure the precious tickets.

    The skybridge is located at level 41 which is 170m from street level. We were given ten minutes to look around and take some pics from the top.

    We watched a video presentation before we were called by our colour tags to clear the security and proceed to take the lift.

    The skybridge is an essential functional component linking the Twin Towers to facilitate movement between the two towers.

    The 58.4 meters double-decked skybridge is located at levels 41 and 42 joining the sky lobbies situated in both towers.

    The Skybridge of the PETRONAS Twin Towers opens from Tuesday to Sunday.

    The Skybridge Ticket Counter opens at 8.30am on every operational days.
    The visiting hours is from 9.00am to 5.00pm.

    As for Monday, the Skybridge would be opened for half day from 9.00am to 1.00pm during school holiday and open full day from 9.00am to 5.00pm if the Monday is Public Holiday, otherwise the Skybridge would be closed. I think it would be good if you could advise your friend to avoid visiting the Skybridge on Monday.

    There are limited number of tickets to be issued on first come first serve basis. The ticket is free of charge. Normally the tickets would be finished around 11.00am. The tickets will be issued on the visit day itself. To avoid any disappointment, I would suggest you to come to the ticket counter as early as 8.30am. The Skybridge Ticket counter located at the Concourse Floor (underground) of the PETRONAS Twin Towers. The floor can be accessed from both Towers.

    There is no restaurant at the Skybridge. There is only a club, Malaysian Petroleum Club located at Level 41&Level 42. The club is only open for the members.
