What people say

Federica Rustico
"Once the tallest buildings in the world, they still dominate Kuala Lumpur's skyline with their majestic presence. Designed by César Pelli, an Argentine architect, these towers were completed in 1998 and have since been a symbol of Malaysia's growth and innovation. What makes them really special is their design: each tower has this eight-lobed circular structure that goes up for 88 stories, topped with a pyramid-shaped pinnacle. This isn't just for show; the design reflects Islamic art, paying tribute to Malaysia's Muslim heritage. Standing at 1,483 feet (452m), including the spires, the towers are a feat of engineering. But the real highlight is the skybridge connecting the two towers on the 41st and 42nd floors. It's like this gateway in the sky, offering an incredible view of Kuala Lumpur from above 370 meters. I recommend booking the earliest or latest time slots for a more intimate experience, as these times typically have fewer visitors. Remember, tickets sell out fast, so book them in advance. "
"Standing 451.9 meters tall, the Petronas Towers is truly an architectural wonder. Surrounded by skyscrapers, no matter which way you turn and the beautiful KLCC Park at its base, this is one KL attraction you cannot miss. "
"Check out lights show schedule if interested. "
