The 451.9-metre, 88-storey twin icon of Kuala Lumpur — the world's tallest twin towers, completed in 1996 to Cesar Pelli's design. Visitors ride up to the double-deck Skybridge at Level 41 (170 m) and the Observation Deck at Level 86; ticketing is run by Petrosains with timed online slots that sell out in peak season.
Highlights & Experience
Skybridge at Level 41
A futuristic elevator ride of 170 metres opens onto the double-deck Skybridge linking the two towers — the world's highest 2-storey bridge. The span frames the city from between the towers and is the classic Petronas photo stop on the guided route.
Observation Deck at Level 86
The tour continues up to Level 86, where the story of Malaysia's vision unfolds amid 360-degree views of Kuala Lumpur. Go in the late afternoon to catch the skyline in daylight, at sunset and lit up after dark from one timed visit.
Design & Story of the Twins
Soaring 451.9 metres over 88 storeys, the towers were master-planned from January 1992 by Cesar Pelli (with Deejay Cerico, J.C. Guinto and Dominic Saibo) and completed in June 1996 after a record 54-hour, 13,200-cubic-metre concrete pour per tower. The facade's Islamic geometry pattern nods to Malaysia's Muslim heritage, and the visit opens with interactive displays tracing the idea-to-completion journey.
