Petronas Towers

The visit starts with a security check and a fast elevator ride. You stop first at the double decker skybridge on levels 41 and 42. This bridge connects the two structures and offers a perspective of the city from 170 meters up.

After the bridge, you continue to the observation deck on the 86th floor. The space is air conditioned and has digital displays about the construction. You get about fifteen minutes at each stop before the staff move your group along.

February and March are often drier, which helps with visibility. June and July are also good options for avoiding heavy rain. If the clouds are low, you will mostly see white mist from the top floors.

Try to book a slot just before sunset. This allows you to see the city in daylight and watch the lights come on. The towers look different when the steel skin reflects the evening sun.

The most common mistake is showing up without a booking. Tickets are timed and limited to a specific number of people per day. If you arrive at noon, the remaining slots might be for late evening or sold out.

The base of the towers contains a large shopping mall and a public park. The park is a good place to see the exterior without paying for a ticket. It features a fountain show that starts after dark.
