Petronas Twin Towers

The 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers (KLCC) is the world's tallest twin structures. Located in the heart of the capital city, the crown of the Kuala Lumpur contains a complex of office buildings, conference halls, a sprawling park and an up market shopping complex.

Inspired by the geometric shape found in Islamic architecture, this gleaming mega-structure was designed by Argentinean-American architect Cesar Pelli.

Stretching out to one side of this architectural masterwork is the airy and wonderfully landscaped KLCC Park. Other attractions at KLCC are Suria Shopping Complex, Petronas Philharmonic Hall, Petrosains Science Centre, Petronas Art Gallery and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, where The Aquaria Oceanarium is situated.

Visiting the sky bridge is a great experience; it is open to visitors between 8.30am - 5.00pm from Tuesday to Sunday.
