The Petronas Twin Towers stand in Kuala Lumpur City Centre, the district better known locally as KLCC. Known also as the KLCC Twin Towers or simply the Petronas Towers, these two 88-story skyscrapers are among the most recognisable buildings in Malaysia, and their silhouette has become a symbol of the city.
What to expect
The towers were once the tallest buildings in the world, and that history still shapes the visit. Their steel-and-glass facades catch the light differently through the day, so the view from the ground is worth taking in slowly, whether you are walking the plaza or simply standing back to see both towers at once.
Two features make a trip up the towers memorable:
- The observation deck, which offers wide views over the city and the surrounding area.
- The skybridge, which links the two towers high above the street and gives a different angle on the twin structure itself.
Around the towers
The towers sit within a busy complex of shops, dining, and green space, so it is easy to combine a visit with a few hours in the area. Kuala Lumpur City Centre is also a convenient base for exploring the wider city, and many visitors plan their day to pass through the district on the way to other sights.
For questions about visiting, you can call the towers on +60 3 2331 8080. The address is Kuala Lumpur City Centre, 50088 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
