Once the world’s tallest building...

as Petronas Twin Towers... são uma visão... principalmente à noite... quando viram memoráveis "estrelas" terrestres...

as visitas à skybridge são free... mas limitadas... pelo que as filas de esperançosos visitantes começam cedo... tipo 7h da manhã... e depois das 10h-11h é bastante provável que todos os lugares já tenham sido distribuídos... : ( ...

"The Petronas Twin Towers (also known as the Petronas Towers or Twin Towers), in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia are the world's tallest twin buildings. They were the world's tallest buildings from 1998 to 2004 if measured from the level of the main entrance to the structural top, until Taipei 101, (...), took over the record.

These towers, were designed by Cesar Pelli, an Argentine-American architect, (...). The 88-floor towers are constructed largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art, a reflection of Malaysia's Muslim religion.

In an unusual move, a different construction company was hired for each of the towers, and they were made to compete against each other. Eventually the builders of Tower 2, (...) won the race, despite starting a month behind Tower 1, (...).

The towers feature a skybridge between the two towers on 41st and 42nd floors, which is the highest 2-story bridge in the world. The bridge is 170m above the ground and 58 m long. The skybridge is open to all visitors, but free passes (limited to 1700 people per day) must be obtained on a first-come, first-served basis. The Skyway is closed on Mondays. Visitors are allowed to go only on the 41st floor as the 42nd floor is used only by the tenants of the building.

Below the twin towers is Suria KLCC, one of the biggest shopping malls in Malaysia, and Dewan Filharmonik Petronas, the home of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra.
Outside the building is a park with jogging and walking paths, a fountain with incorporated light show, wading pools, and a children's playground."
