PETRONAS Twin Towers

   World's tallest twin towers. Don't miss the guided tour, which takes you up to the  suspended bridge on the 41st Floor. Look down and you will see the KLCC Park, the panorama stretching across the Royal Selangor Golf Course, the Embassy Row and all the way to the rolling hills of the Titiwangsa Divide. 

   The 88-storey PETRONAS Twin Towers is located at the North-west corner of the  100-acre development, the Towers standing majestically at 452 metres have been  acknowledged by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat as the tallest buildings in the world.

   The design, created by renowned architect, Cesar Pelli & Associates of the USA was  selected through an international design competition held in 1991.


   The floor plate of the Towers is based on geometric patterns common in architecture  of Islamic heritage. It is composed of two rotated and super imposed squares with small circular infill around the edges. The exterior of the PETRONAS Twin Towers is organised in horizontal ribbons of vision glass and stainless steel which glint and shimmer in the sun. The design of the buildings also incorporates set-back at level 60, 73, 82, 84  and 88. Attached to each Tower is the 44-storey side tower or annexe, which provides an  architectural balance to the slender profile of the main Tower. These coreless annexes  also provide additional office space. 

   The Like the exterior design, the interior design patterns and materials used also  reflect the national identity of Malaysia. The Towers' entrance lobbies are showcase  of the country's cultural heritage, incorporating contemporary Malaysian motifs adapted  from traditional handicrafts such as 'songket' and timber cravings while the floor design  has been laid in a popular 'mengkuang' weave mat design.

   A 58.4 metre sky bridge at levels 41 and 42 links the Twin Towers. The unique double-deck sky bridge stands 170 metres above street level with its arch support forming a symbolic gate way to the city centre.

   The sky bridge is opened to visitors between 8.30am - 5.00pm 

   Each visitor is allowed only 10minutes on the skybridge - that's all you'll get

   Weekday mornings are the best times to go as long as it doesn't fall on a public holiday
