The Petronas Twin Towers are Kuala Lumpur’s most prominent landmark. At 452 meters-high, it is the world’s second highest structure and was built in 1998. The towers’ design and architecture are inspired by Islamic art with a modern outlook, reflected by its steel and glass façade.
A sky bridge connects the two towers mid-way, and it is here that visitors can come up and catch a bird’s eye view of the surrounding city.
At the base of the Twin Towers is a popular up market shopping mall, mostly for tourists and society’s upper class, called Suria KLCC, the mall houses a large array of expensive fashion shops and other elite stores such as Marks and Spencer.
The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra is also located inside the Towers’ base. Outside, there is a beautifully-landscaped park where visitors can conduct recreational exercise or simply stroll around the marble paths and admire the fountains and flowers. There’s also a wading pool that’s free for children to swim in.
