Twin inverted vortices tunneling into the future, the Petronas Twin Towers were meant to reflect the aspirations of the packed capital’s residents in creating new breakthroughs and exploring new frontiers. The stacked disks rise up 88 floors into the clouds, linked by a thin connecting rod and link way. By day, the curved walls and facets of the towers glint a glassy blue beneath the sunlight. After dark, the towers are twin crystals illuminating the skyline with nothing to obstruct their path.

Making your way past street vendors touting selfie sticks and shoving fish-eye lenses into your hands, walk through the small park right beneath the tower. You will eventually reach the end of a narrow fountain after the short walk where it is a mandatory tradition to whip out your phone for a shot, capturing even the tips of the towers within a single image. Upon returning to the Suria KLCC mall tucked into the gap between the towers, book tickets for a performance at the little known Dewan Filharmonik Petronas. The vast hall is illuminated by 3 concentric rings of spotlights and fitted with the finest acoustics to enjoy classical tunes and movie medleys performed by the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. An instant hit among the inquisitive children, the Petrosains Discovery Centre spans the 4th and 5th floors of both towers to take visitors through a tour of the oil refinery process in addition to exploring the causes of other natural physical phenomena. Interactive exhibits, a carriage ride through captivating graphics and attention grabbing acoustics as well as hands-on displays seek to excite and engage a young audience. As you can see, the Twin Towers are an attraction to be enjoyed by all, from classical music enthusiasts to children filled with boundless energy.
