With 452 metres the Petronas Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world when they were completed in 1996, after two years of building. (Nowadays the Taipei 101 is taller and also the Burj Dubai.)
Visitors can admire the view from the Skybridge at 170 metres (floor 41) but then have to have a ticket, which you can get by queueing for the free tickets given out everyday except Mondays. The Skybridge is opened from 9 to 19, closed Fridays from 12.30 to 14.30. Only one ticket per person, advance bookings not possible and the ticket is valid only for the same day as you get it.

around the huge petronas towers compex in the front plaza and this is a favorite area for people who does not want to spend money to enter the sky bridge of the Observation Deck and also nice activities do have a panoramic photograph of the Petronas Tower Complex.

The Petronas Tower was formerly the World's Tallest Building was but beaten by the Taipei 101 and recently by the Burj Al Khalifa Tower in Dubai. they were designed by the Argentinean-American architect Cesar Pelli. Completed in 1997. The twin towers house Petronas, Malaysia's government-owned oil company, as well as associated Malaysian firms and multinational companies and around the complex is the Suria KLCC shopping mall and the KLCC Park (unfortunately I did not have time to stroll around both huhuhuhu). The towers are linked to one another through a skybridge on 41st and 42nd floors. The bridge has a height of 170m and a length of 58m. Visitors can visit the skybridge for free by getting the passes which are handed out everyday from 8:30am onwards except on Monday but for tourist like us, the option is to buy the tickets at the ticket counter for 10 RM each!!! again we did not know that there was an Observation deck at Tower 2 at the 82nd floor that only goes for RM 40 per person, too bad for us!

The towers are open from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm daily

Surrounding the towers is Kuala Lumpur City Centre where the state of the art Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre is located. and also the Suria shopping mall and a five star Mandarin Oriental Hotel are located here. There is also KLCC park and you will be able to see other areas of Kuala Lumpur and the Menara Tower.

The Sky Bridge

inside the sky bridge. The Skybridge which connects tower one from tower two from the 41rst and 42nd floor is the main attraction of the Petronas Tower (but not the only attraction as they also have an observation deck at the 82cnd floor of tower two that only costs RM 40 per person). The skybridge is open to all visitors, but tickets are limited to 1700 people per day, and must be obtained for free on a first-come, first-served basis before 10 am (but they also have separate tickets for tourists like us that costs RM 10 given to us by the travel agency hehehe) Visitors are only allowed on the 41st floor as the 42nd floor can only be used by the tenants of the building.

SkyBridge At Petronas Twin Towers

Double Tower Taken From Jalan Ampang

This is a definite must for visitors to Kuala Lumpur. The least you would do is to take pictures of the twin towers. The next thing to do is to queue up for the free tickets to go up to to the sky-bridge that connects the two towers. The scenery from above is simply amazing and the result of the pictures taken will look like a postcard (depending on how good your camera is, of course.)

Walking around the park is another must-do in your list. The beautiful landscape is perfect for a short break during day time for sandwiches or light salad. However, the guards can be rather annoying at times as he would tell people not to step on the grass (What's the point of a park then??) Besides, that, it's wonderful.

Petronas Twin Towers

Petronas Twin Towers

The Petronas Twin Towers are the largest twin towers in the world and were the largest buildings from its completion in 1988 until 2003. Thus they can lay claim to being the largest skyscrapers of the 20th century. They are most impressive as they stand alone and tower over everything.

The towers were designed by architect Cesar Pelli. The 88-floor, largely stainless steel and glass structures were designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art, a reflection of Malaysia's Muslim heritage. The basic structure however was a development of the design for a cancelled Chicago building.

The twin towers are connected by a double decked skybridge at Levels 41 and 42 that symbolizes the gateway to the future. Entry to the skybridge is free but you must get tickets for a time slot.

Petronas Twin Towers - Part I
don_thomas profile photo

4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

don_thomas 56 reviews

You can't miss this one, as it's dominating the skyline of KL. And it's always impressive: when you look at it from the edge of KL it shows how much taller it is than the rest (and there are a LOT other skyscrapers in KL), and when you approach the building and enjoy the perfection of forms and symbolicism and the grandeur of it.

This US$ 1,9 billion project is now, with its 451.9 m and completed in 1998, the tallest twin tower in the world. It consists of 88 stories (the number 88 symbolises prosperity in Chinese geomancy) and the floor is based on the eight-sided star that is typical of Islamic art.

There are a lot of companies inside the buildings, but also a mall (Suria KLCC). And you can go up! (see other tips)
