    Amazing architecture, pre-book to go up!
    Despite being such a tall and iconic building, the twin towers are surprising hard to see in their fullness. This is because the downtown area of KL has multiple tall buildings which means you have to be up close to get a view. The site itself is pristine and attached to a large shopping mall and park with a concourse area at the front. It is actually almost impossible to get t full length view of the towers from the front concourse because of the relative size of the towers compared to the concourse. Better photos are to be had from the KLCC park behind the shopping centre. Inside, the building is a functioning office for the Ptronas company and has within it a symphony theatre, gym and other offices. I had rocked up expecting to be able to buy a ticket at the door but the number sold each day is limited to somewhere in the region of 1000 with at least half sold online. It meant that the next available tickets were two days away! While I’m sure that the views from the viewing platform would be spectacular, I felt that the time within the building, the mall and the park were equally good and allowed for multiple photos to be taken to provide the ideal photos to make family and friends jealous. Definetley worth a visit and stay for the lights to come on as well.

    Even more beautiful at night!
    Traveling becomes more memorable by visiting here, A must visit place when in Malaysia, This tourist icon is always busy with tourists, especially during weekends and holiday seasons. It is recommended to take photos at night. The beauty of the lights and city decorations below is even more beautiful at night, try it!

    Wonderful
    The Petronius Twin Towers are an absolute must during a visit to Kuala Lumpur. Here’s the thing, you need to view the towers in the day time and in the evening as the character of these towers completely changes. In the day time, the towers stand tall, gleaming in the Malaysia sunshine whilst towering over the KL skyline. In the evening they light up to create an enigmatic, picturesque view. Around KLCC there are lots of viewing and picture opportunities so get your legs moving and wonder around picking up the best views.

    Amazing towers.
    I just think the towers look amazing! I mean, they are just 2 tall towers, but I like them. Esoecially at night they look even more amazing. I did not go in. Just observed from the ground level outside.

    Great attraction in Kuala Lumpur
    Eventually made it to Petronas Twin Towers, thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Reasonable cost and well worth it. Thought the floor of the sky bridge would be see through but wasn't which suited me fine. Lovely staff and affordable souvenirs in the gift shop.

    Petronas twin towers experience
    Great experience looking at views of KL floor to ceiling glass. Around 45 minutes to look around and take photos on 86 floor. If you are scared of heights I would give it a miss. Loved it.

    An argentinian arhitecture, Cesar Pelli, japanese and koreans and a country, Malaysia, which wants to show it's unique style - these are the Petronas-towers. Good to have online ticket bought a few days before the visit, but it is a legend, that people are staying hours for entrance ticket there. Not crowded, well organized, elevators take you up to different sections. Visit every level you can, cross the bridge, admire !!! You will like it.

    Fabulous. Just turned up by 9.15 on the day for the 10am tour. Maybe we were lucky to get in, but it was fine. Very well organised, great experience, enough information for a tourist, lots more available if you were an engineer or architect! Well worth the visit, we spent just over an hour, MYR 50 / £8 each. Great value.

    Worth a visit
    Well worth a visit if in the area. We bought the tickets directly online. The tour is very well organised and provides great views throughout. While there, have something to eat in the food court on level two, which provides excellent value quality food. Also take a stroll around the park area right behind the towers.

    Architectural Masterpiece
    No sure that I can add to the superlatives that have been included in previous reviews, but the city is very proud of its world renowned icon and symbol of modern Malaysia. Purchased tickets for a more suitable time on the following day, arrived early and the counterhand happily exchanged tickets for the earlier tour. Enthusiastic guide supplied a brief informative history on the construction and symbolic nature of the towers when we arrived at the skybridge on the 41st floor. Great views and photo opportunities. Then it was up to the observation deck on Level 86, fantastic view across to the adjacent spire and the city expanse below. Although our accommodation was nearby, we somehow managed to overlook the nightly light & music show; next trip!!

I really enjoyed visiting the Petronas Twin Towers whilst in Kuala Lumpur. If you're on holiday in Malaysia, this is definitely something for your bucket list and not something you want to miss.

The only thing to point out is because this place is very popular, you have to book in advance. Although you can go in and order tickets there and then, it is likely you won't be able to get tickets to visit for the same day. We visited on the Sunday and earliest you could buy tickets for was the Thursday. This is not a criticism of the Petronas Towers - the staff can't really help it if it's popular!

As a result, you might expect the towers to be quite crowded and overrun with people. However, the staff take people up in groups of 20 meaning they effectively control the crowds well. At no point were we ever in a part of the tower than was too busy, so full credit to the staff for this.

On the tour, you are given more than enough time to look round the various areas of the tower. I actually thought the best place to take photos was the walkway halfway up the twin towers, as opposed to the top floor, which is something you might want to bear in mind.

The last stop on the tour is the 85th floor, where you can buy souvenirs. However, there is a separate souvenir shop on the ground floor which has a better selection - personally, I would wait until you get down to the ground floor, THEN have a look for sourvenirs.

The wares being sold were actually quite good quality and the prices were by no means unreasonable in the gift shop. As the gift shop on the ground is separate from the tour, what you can do is visit it at a later date without a ticket for the tower, which I thought was nice.

Overall, I really enjoyed going up what is now the world's tallest twin towers and I would definitely recommend paying a visit if you're in the area!

Like many other big cities, there is a tower (or in this case 2) that showcases the cities wonderful views and Petronas Twin Towers was no exception.
I advise you to book your visit before you leave home. We went to buy tickets on the Tuesday, but they were sold out and wew were unable to purchase ticket for the Wednesday and Thursday - you had to turn up and hope you would be lucky enough. We therefore booked tickets for thee Friday - and on the Friday the ticket price nearly doubled, it was pretty annoying.
The BONUS - we happened to be there the afternoon of the 25th anniversary of the towers and as we entered the gift shop at the end of our visit we were treated to a celebration ceremony and cultural performance which was amazing, we were so lucky! The towers are spectacular and it's hard to believe they are that old. From all around the city they standout beautifully.

Petronas Twin Towers is one of the tallest buildings in the world and has the highest two-story bridge in the world. It is a well known representation of Malaysia. The building houses offices but there is a photo point for tourists which is usually crowded most of the time so you really have to find the perfect angle for you to take that perfect shot with the twin towers. There are some who will offer you to take a photo of you but it cost around RM 10.

I arrived looking forward to going up the towers and the views. They first take you to the sky bridge where you're given 10 minutes to take pictures and have a look around. Next you're taken to the 86th floor where you're given 15 minutes to look around. I did not like how you're on a timescale. Ive visited many different countries before and countless towers and never been on a limited time to take photos and admire the views. I felt rushed to look around knowing there was limited time and did not enjoy the experience because of this. You're paying a lot of money to go up this tower and given a maximum of 30 minutes to enjoy the bridge and top floor before being escorted down and out the building. On your way down you come out at the gift shop and cafe, funny how there isn't limited time at this section because they want you to spend more money on souvenirs and food/drink. I wouldn't bother as you can get just as nice views from the top of hotels/other buildings. You can admire the towers from outside for free.

We booked before we left the UK. Comments in Trip Advisor suggest you can have 1.5 hours at the Towers so a 6.30pm session looked ideal. We would have daylight and then sunset. Getting there was easy with good signage in the KLCC shopping centre. We were within a group of around a dozen people which worked well. There was a 7 minute delay because they wanted to take photos of each couple or group for the inevitable experience photo but eventually we went up in the super fast lift to the Skybridge. We were given 10 minutes here which was probably about right. Everyone wanted to take photos of the views. Most of the windows had metal support structures so this was not that easy if you wanted an uninterrupted view of the city below. However, in the centre was a specially designed area that allowed photos without the bars so this was a popular spot. Once again there was a professional photographer keen to take the experience photos but also kind enough to take a photo using our own mobile phone.
We then went up to the higher observation deck on the 86th floor. Here the views were magnificent and there were lots of views and lots of photo opportunities. The metal supports were in evidence again but it was possible to get uninterrupted shots. We were allowed 15 minutes here.
The sun was now setting and the lights were coming on across KL. This allowed different photo opportunities but unfortunately we were ushered out into the lift and down to another area which was concentrated on gift sales and display of the pro photos. It was certainly possible to purchase an overpriced picture of yourself in front of the Towers or on the Skybridge. The big disappointment here though was that the viewing windows were not as clean as the other floors and it was not possible to take a decent picture of the ever darkening city below. We then had the experience of thunder and lightening and a deluge of rain. Again it was not possible to take decent photos.
The gift shop had a few items and we were interested in the t-shirts but the sizes were limited. The retail range was not as extensive as I expected.
By the time we were back at the ground floor we has spent around 45 minutes with our Tower experience; a lot less than the 1.5 hours suggested.
In conclusion we enjoyed the experience and the small group sizes made it more enjoyable but we did feel it was too rushed. Another 15 minutes on the observation deck would have seen a 5 star review.

It is one of the most iconic buildings on earth. The ticket allows a visit to the suspension bridge and a higher vantage point, beyond the 80th floor. The ticket gives access at a precise time and the visit lasts just over an hour. Recommendation online purchase, with choice of time of entry. When we entered, then chosen by us, it was complete and there was a line for waiting for any holes.

I was able to visit it on my second visit to Kuala Lumpur. Since there are not many places to visit and see, it seems like a place you have to go.
Due to the depreciation of TL, it is now approximately 1000 TL (40 USD) for 2 people. You can climb to the top peak and watch the view. Our choice was at night, the view wasn't bad either. However, you need to go early and buy a ticket because there is a lot of demand and there is usually a shortage of tickets.

We booked online over a week ago for the 09:15 tour today, Tuesday 16th July 2024, (3 adults, 1 child total RM344); people arriving at the same time were being sold tickets for after 3pm. We arrived to a small queue (pretty much just the 24 people at the 09:00 slot). Don’t join the huge ticket queue if you already have tickets; this is not well signposted! All went well and we ascended to the skybridge on time with the other 20 people at our time slot.

And then it all went wrong. They use ONE lift for the tours despite advertising their 29 lifts everywhere. It broke down. The 09:00 group were stuck at the observation deck for an hour, and we, and then the 09:30 group, were kept at the skybridge for over an hour with no information except that the lift was broken and there was “nothing we can do”.

Eventually we were escorted down again (no prior information as to whether we were going up or down!) and told to speak to a member of staff. By this time, as they had still been taking bookings despite the broken lift, they advised newcomers that they were sold out for today, but that we could rebook for 2pm. We did, and spent 3 hours in the excellent Petrosains Discovery Centre (it needs longer!), but on our return at 2pm, where we rejoined a not-too-long queue, they announced that the lift had broken again! We gave up and started a rapidly growing queue at the ticket desk asking for a refund. This appeared complicated and required calling a supervisor, but after 20 minutes a cash refund was issued. They are now fully booked for the next 3 days; good luck to anyone with a booking!

Visited the Petronas Towers in February 2024. Reasonable to expensive price for admission. We found this venue well organised. You need to either pre-book a time to visit or can purchase on the day. Though purchasing on the day might mean you are given a tour time later. If you're lucky and it's quiet you may get in without too much delay. The tours are limited to a certain number. Meaning it provides less congestion an the ability to move around the observation deck without too many crowding issues.
Views are great though I recommend the KL Tower as a better option for photos.

The Petronas Towers are a "must visit" and therefore a must-see in Kuala Lumpur. But it's not just the towers, but also the KLCC shopping mall and the park in front of them. Two floors of the mall are home to countless luxury brands for clothes, shoes, cosmetics, watches... A third floor is reserved for culinary delights, with the small caveat that, in contrast to the other two floors, it is more proletarian and loud. But getting full shouldn't be a problem.
In the park, visitors will find a circular path with a pond, designated photo spots and a track for joggers. There is also a bathing area for children.
For 98 MYR (approx. 20 €) there are tickets that are tied to a time slot. Those who are early at the counter and get a ticket for the afternoon are lucky. Online booking is also possible.
And then it's off to the elevator, first to the double-decker bridge between the towers. The view from the 41st floor at 170 m is impressive. Then it continues to 370 m on the 86th floor, the panoramic view here is breathtaking! You can take photos yourself or have them taken for a fee.
After a short stop on the 83rd floor, you go back down. Of course, and this is probably the case worldwide, you are led through a merch shop.
Conclusion: a clear YES.
