Completing the KL Visit - Petronas Twin Towers

Petronas Twin Towers is arguably KL's most iconic landmark and almost all postcards and pictures of KL have the towers as their backdrop.

Thus, though it's an obvious tourist trap (the legitimate kind, haha), we felt that we must make our pilgrimage there at least once - we had not visited the twin towers during our last KL trip as it was a Monday and it was closed.

The tix are a little pricey, at RM80 per adult, but if you have a student pass, make sure you bring it as you'll be entitled to a (think it was 50%) discount.
The visiting hours are from Tuesday to Sunday, from 9am to 9pm. But note that there are only limited slots daily, so plan in advance; if possible, buy online, otherwise you can purchase at the Towers' ticketing counter as well.

The nearest LRT station is the KLCC station, but if you stay around Bukit Bintang area, there's a overhead sheltered walkway that links from Pavilion to KLCC:


The sheltered walkway is a 10 min walk that will bring you to the Aquaria KLCC. From the Aquaria KLCC entrance, look out for and follow the signs to Suria KLCC via the underpass. Highlighting the "via the underpass", as an alternate route would be to walk outside along the KLCC park (as we did once) - not recommended during sunny or rainy days! From Suria KLCC, follow the signs to the Petronas Towers.

The Petronas Towers visit is a guided tour, and we were brought to the Skybridge at level 41, then the observation deck at level 86. The tour should take less than an hour.
