Iconic twin towers with observation deck, mall, and park

About Petronas Twin Towers (KLCC)

The Petronas Twin Towers stood as the world's tallest buildings from 1998 to 2004 and remain the tallest twin towers on Earth at 451.9 meters. Designed by Argentine-American architect César Pelli, the towers' Islamic geometric motifs reflect Malaysia's Muslim heritage and have become the definitive symbol of modern Kuala Lumpur.

The Skybridge connecting the towers at the 41st floor and the observation deck on the 86th floor offer breathtaking views across the Kuala Lumpur skyline. Below, Suria KLCC mall houses premium retail, a Petronas science discovery center, and an aquarium. The KLCC Park, a beautifully landscaped 50-acre urban garden designed by Roberto Burle Marx, features a children's playground, jogging paths, and a nightly fountain show.

The broader KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre) precinct is the city's corporate and diplomatic hub, home to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, five-star hotels including the Mandarin Oriental and Grand Hyatt, and the Avenue K and The Intermark malls. The area comes alive at night when the towers are illuminated and the fountains perform a choreographed light-and-water show.
