Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur

Visiting Malaysia can not be done without visiting the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
So after visiting family in Lumut we headed for Malaysia's capital.
arriving there at nighttime gives you the opportunity to look at the towers in their full grace.
Lighted like a Christmas tree it sticks out in the Kuala Lumpur skyline. And for once directions are not given like three blocks from this or that MC Donald's but by the position from the Twin Towers.

The towers where completed in 1998 and where opened for public in August 1999. With an overall height of 451,9 meters from street level they are the highest twin towers in the world.
With 77,000 sq m of vision glass, 36,910 tonnes of beam, trusses and reinforcement, 160,000 cu m of concrete in the superstructure and a total of 76 lifts, including 29 Double-deck high speed passenger lifts in each tower (Each double-deck can carry 26 persons), the Petronas Twin Towers are an Engineering wonder and something Malaysians can be proud of.

The petronas Towers cab be visited daily and you can have magnificent views from the sky bridge that connects the two towers at a height of 170 meters from street level.
