PETRONAS Twin Towers: About This Iconic Great Tower

Designed by Argentine architect César Pelli and engineered by Thornton Tomasetti, the PETRONAS Twin Towers stand as one of the most recognisable architectural achievements of the modern era.

Rising to a height of 451.9 meters, the towers remain the world’s tallest twin towers and are defined by a series of landmark features that have made them an enduring global icon. These include the world’s highest double-decker sky bridge connecting Levels 41 and 42, as well as an observation deck on Level 86 at 370 meters above ground, offering sweeping panoramic views of Kuala Lumpur’s skyline.

At the observation deck, visitors can also explore curated exhibitions and interactive experiences that bring the towers’ history and design to life, from detailed scale models of the KLCC Precinct to immersive AR displays, as well as viewing enhancements such as telescopes and commemorative postcard services.
