Petronas Twin Towers in KLCC, Kuala Lumpur

Petronas Twin Towers or KLCC building is the proud of Malaysia and it’s among the highest building in the world. This building is strategically located in KLCC.

KLCC stands for Kuala Lumpur City Centre which is the right acronyms for it.
Some people may get confused about another building in KLCC called Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre when it comes for the acronyms of KLCC.

Petronas Twin Towers or KLCC Building, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This Petronas Twin Towers was finished in the year 1998 and each of them has 88 floors with 452 meters high. At the base of this building, there is a popular shopping centre called Suria KLCC where most people go for shopping and movies at TGV or Tanjung Golden Cinema there.

There are also lots of popular shops there like Vincci (where you can buy ladies or women shoes), Isetan and even the Harrods (the small one and near the Kinokuniya bookstore). Now you know you can also go to the Harrods even in Kuala Lumpur although it is not as big as the one in London.

Perhaps one of the reasons you go to Petronas Twin Towers is because you want to walk and get the stunning view of the area around KLCC from the SkyBridge which is located at 21st floor and this SkyBridge is 150 meters above the ground.

However you need to go there early to get the ticket to SkyBridge. At night, the Petronas Twin Towers is really beautiful with the brilliant and colourful lights and the building is prominent in the Kuala Lumpur skyline.

If you still wonder how to go Petronas Twin Towers or KLCC building, you can use one of the methods to go there and it is by using PUTRA LRT System which the train system provided by Rapid KL. PUTRA LRT System uses no drivers instead the trains are remotely controlled by the computer.

You should not be confused by another LRT system called STAR LRT System that uses drivers. Only PUTRA LRT goes directly to Petronas Twin Towers and it stops at underground KLCC LRT station there.

If you go to Kuala Lumpur, it is not complete if you cannot see the Petronas Twin Towers from near. And if you have the chance to go to the SkyBridge, it will be one of the wonderful moments in your life.
