The Petronas Twin Towers are the tallest twin towers in the world, and they lay claim to being the world's tallest high rise of the 20th century. Critics point out that this applies to only one of four height categories defined by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat - although the three additional height categories were only introduced as the tower neared completion in 1996, as opposed to the original category which had been in use since 1969. / The Petronas Twin Towers (also known as the Petronas Towers), in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, were once the world's tallest buildings when measured from the level of the main entrance to the structural or architectural top.

After we got over the initial surprise that our entry time was going to be so late, we were actually pleased because it meant we had the most part of the day to go off and explore the city before coming back. I think it would have been much more annoying to ... more
... get an entry time in the middle of the day because there wouldn't have been time to do anything else. Having said that, you get issued tickets for the next available slot and it is just luck of the draw as to when that might be - you can't choose.

The Petronas Towers are without doubt the most famous of Kuala Lumpur's attractions and buildings and any trip to the city should include a visit to them. Designed by South American architects and completed, after seven years' construction, in 1998, they were the tallest skyscrapers in the world until 2004 (when they were overtaken by Taipei 101). They still hold the title of being the tallest twin towers in the world and standing on the 86th floor of 88 in total, it is clear to see why. Aside from this accolade, the Petronas Towers may be familiar to you from TV and film. They were the subject of a recent documentary about French urban climber Alain ... Read the complete review

BEING A CIVIL ENGINEER, I am always fascinated with mega-structures - buildings, transport networks, tunnels, bridges, towers, dams, and other construction works having interesting characteristics; not only with the height but also in terms of how the structure was built as well as the amenities and features within it. One of them is the popular Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) as the second tallest building in the world which I visited in April 2004. The Twins (Petronas) stripped off the crown from Sears Tower, Chicago (US) where I also visited in 1997 a year before the Twins got the title. By 2003, Petronas is already surpassed by Taipei 101 ...
