If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you may know that I traveled Kuala Lumpur (locally known as KL) to celebrate my birthday week. Starting from today I'll be your host for the entire July, giving you tips and tricks for your future trip to Kuala Lumpur.
The first destination I visited was the most magnificent Petronas Towers which along with the KL tower dominates the KL skyline. The Petronas towers were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004 and still remains the tallest twin towers in the world. The dual towers stand tall at 452 meters, with 88 floors in total. It's design is largely influenced by Islamic art which is a reflection of Malaysia's Muslim religion.
The Petronas is Malaysian national petroleum company and occupies all of the tower 1. The second tower has other MNCs and works as a large office building.
Can you go up the towers?
Yes, you can. At tickets priced MYR 84 for an adult, you get a 45 minutes tour of the towers, taking you to the skybridge, the observation deck and the gift shop where they Photoshop your image from a green screen to the front of the Petronas at ridiculously high prices.
The skybridge is a double-deck bridge located at levels 41 and 42 of the towers which connects both of the towers and gives you an opportunity to see the landscape of KL at 170 meters above street level.
At the skybridge
We were then directed to a second elevator that lead us to the observation deck which is at the 86th floor, 380 meters above the ground and provides a complete 360 degree bird view of KL. You can also know more about the history of towers and the surrounding area of KLCC displayed on the video wall. There are also augmented reality screens to have fun at before you get astonished by the beautiful view.
Can you beat this view? 😍 View from the 7th largest building in the world. @kualalumpur #kl #kualalumpur #travel #petronastowers #igersmalayaA photo posted by Sakshi Raina (@capturesunshyne) on Jul 4, 2015 at 7:54am PDT

This has to be the best experience I had in KL. The buildings are magnificent and the view is breathtaking. The towers are HUGE! I mean it, they are so huge when you look at it from the foot of the towers. The detailed design is sexy and it looks as better in the night as it looks in the day. i just had to click a cliché photograph with the towers in the day...
