KLCC - PETRONAS Twin Towers

There are few exciting place to visit throughout Malaysia. First of all, it is Petronas Twin Towers.



It is one of the tallest buildings in the world, the 88-story PETRONAS Twin Towers are now celebrated as the world's tallest twin structures. Inspired by Islamic architecture, this gleaming mega-structure - standing 452 metres tall - retained its claim to fame until 2004 when Taipei's 101 was built measuring 508 metres - and with 101 floors. 


Declared the tallest buildings in the world when they were completed in 1998 - surpassing the 442-metre-tall Willis Tower in Chicago, U.S.A - these twin wonders, located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, contain a complex of office building, conference halls, a sprawling 50-acre park and an upmarket shopping complex. Designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates, the building primarily house the corporate headquarters of the PETRONAS Company and are joined at the 41st and 42nd floors (175 metres above street level) by a 58-metre long double-decker Sky Bridge.
