About Petronas Twin Towers

The Petronas Twin Towers rise 452 m over Kuala Lumpur, two matching 88-storey towers that were the tallest buildings in the world when completed in 1998 and remain the tallest twin towers anywhere. Designed with a floor plan inspired by Islamic geometric patterns, the towers are connected by a double-decker skybridge on levels 41 and 42, one of the most photographed features of the Kuala Lumpur skyline.

Visitors can go up to the skybridge and, with a separate timed ticket, continue to the observation deck on level 86, looking out over the city and the green expanse of KLCC Park below. At the base of the towers sits Suria KLCC, a large shopping mall, making it easy to combine a visit to the towers with shopping, dining and an evening by the park's fountains.
