Completed in 1998, the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur were the world's tallest buildings, before Taipei 101 (509.2m) took over the title. Standing 452m (1483ft) tall, the 88-storey towers are still the tallest twin buildings and office building in the world. The development includes a 50 acre multi-purpose park, corporate offices, KLCC shopping complex and a state-of-the-art Petronas Philharmonic Hall.

The towers are designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates consisting of two similarly shaped towers connected by a 58m Skybridge on the 41st and 42nd floors where visitors can catch a panoramic view of KL from the sky lobby. The skybridge also acts as a safety device, so that in the event of a fire or other emergency in one tower, tenants can evacuate by crossing the skybridge to the other tower. The designs on the towers are based on geometric patterns common in Islamic architecture. Entrance is free but a limited number of tickets are issued each day.

The Skybridge opens Every Tuesday to Sunday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and closes on Mondays.
