The Petronas Twin Towers are an architectural marvel of the modern world. They are twin skyscrapers in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. These were the official tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004, but they do remain the tallest twin towers in the world. They are an official landmark of the Kuala Lumpur landscape.

The towers feature a double decker skybridge which connects the two towers on the 41st and 42nd floors, which is the highest two storey bridge in the world. It is not attached to the main structure, but is instead designed to slide in and out of the towers to prevent it from breaking (since the towers actually sway several feet each direction during high winds). The bridge is 170m above the ground, 58m long and weighs 750 tons. This skybridge provides an amazing viewing of the surrounding landscape.
Tickets are sold to tourists to visit this skybridge, but they restrict it to only 1,000 people per day on a first come-first served basis. It was free until 2010, but now the Petronas crew sells tickets. The viewing is only on the 41st floor, as the 42nd floor is used by the tenants of the building.

At night time they light up the exterior and it becomes a glowing jewel in the cityscape.
