Amazing architecture. Incredible landmark and icon of KL

The towers them selves are offices for the national oil company Petronas. (Hence the name) - one tower also has a few other companies resident.

You can walk around the towers and between the middle (through the mall) for free.

If you head down stairs there is a museum where you can look at the building and design of the towers, this is also where you get tickets to go up.

There is a limit of 800 people allowed up per day. These go up in groups of 20, in half an hour slots.

You see first the bridge, then the observation deck. The staff inside are fairly friendly and professional. You get a small 2 min talk on the towers, most other info is on screens or info points around the tour.

It felt a little hurried but not too bad.

They do the usual thing where you get a photo taken of you in front of a green screen, then they try and sell the photo to you - this is a total rip off, costing 130RM for a paper copy of the photo, in a flimsy cover. They also try to tell magnets for 66RM (again, a rip off)

The cost of the visit is 80RM per person - to buy the tickets, I would visit the towers at the start of your trip, and book for a day when you can fit it in - queue are terrible in the morning, so head down on your first day after 10am and book for a day in the future, you ll get a better time slot selection. They take Visa and Mastercard

I d give it about 2-3 hours total, if you spend some time taking photos outside

Overall nice experience, a little pricy, but it s a must do in this city.
