Petronas Twin Towers

The Petronas Twin Towers is the second highest structure in the world, at 451.9-meters high. Consisting of 88-floors, the Twin Towers are a remarkable architectural demonstration of Islamic art fusing with contemporary design styles. The Towers sit upon a 120-meter deep concrete foundation, built upon what used to be a popular race track in the city.

From outside, the Twin Towers look like a pair of steel pinnacles, glistering brightly under the sun but it was actually constructed primarily from super high-strength concrete. The top of each tower resembles thin minarets and both buildings are connected via a sky bridge with an inverted 'V' pillar below it. At night, the Twin Towers become brightly light like a beacon in the middle of the city.

Nestled between the towers is the popular shopping mall Suria KLCC as well as the Philharmonic Orchestra Theatre Hall and the Petrosains Discovery Centre. On the grounds fronting the towers, a well-landscaped park and garden provide refreshment and recreation for visitors and local residents of Ampang area. In this beautiful park, there are paved jogging paths, water coolers and rows of neatly-trimmed flowering shrubs and bushes.

The esplanade facing the Twin Towers has a wide fountain that incorporates a light show during the night. Programmed to provide up to 150 colourful simulations of water and light, it never fails to catch the attention of passer-bys in the area. In addition, there is a free wading pool for children in the park, a welcome respite for families after a hot day.

For visitors wanting a view from the top of the Twin Towers, the sky-bridge is open for visitors, but only to the first 1,400 people each day. The passes are free to walk the 58-meter long bridge which is open from 9am to 7pm daily, except on Mondays when it is closed
