Hello friends. The famous Petronas Towers or Petronas Twin Towers are the beauty and pride of the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. They were built to surprise the world, and the builders succeeded. The Twin Towers are the first high-rise buildings in the country. Stylish, modern, striking the imagination - this is not just a business card or a miracle of architecture, it is an ambitious and bold bid of the people to become an Asian economic leader in a short time.

Malaysia. The capital city is Kuala Lumpur. City center. Petronas Twin Towers.

Since the Petronas Towers represent the apotheosis and symbol of the economic miracle, we cannot do without history.

We have written about other attractions of Kuala Lumpur.

A little history

Until August 31, 1957, the country was a British colony. The capital of the state, which translates as “Muddy Water,” was a small settlement where local residents were engaged in tin mining.

Oil reserves were discovered in the country, then everything changed, the Federation of Malaya declared its independence, the ideologist and founder of modern Abdul Rahman proclaimed a political credo: We must be practical. We want to live in peace and do worthy deeds.

6 years later, in 1963, Singapore, North Borneo and Sarawak joined the Federation. At the same time, in honor of the unification, the particle “zi” was added to the name “Malay”, and the country began to be called Malaysia.

In 1965, Singapore left the union and began to develop independently.

We must pay tribute to the country's leadership - they did not build economic development only on the sale of oil, tin and rubber. Western investors were attracted to the country in large numbers and on favorable terms, heavy and light industry, electronic technologies, and the service sector developed. The country has aimed at producing its own goods and minimally importing others.

Construction of the Twin Towers

In the 90s of the 20th century, it was decided to erect the first high-rise buildings in the country, and in the shortest possible time, they should become the tallest in the world. Construction started in 1992 and was completed 6 years later in 1998.

For comparison, the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York took longer to build: the project was adopted in 1962. Excavation work began in 1966. The official opening of the towers took place in 1973.

So, the main customer for the construction of the Towers in Kuala Lumpur was the state-owned Malaysian oil and gas corporation Petronas.

During construction, difficulties emerged - the soil in this place turned out to be unstable and the already constructed part of the structure had to be moved 60 meters.

$800 million was spent on the construction of the towers.

Petronas Towers

As a result, the world's tallest twin towers were born. Everyone learned about the country. Malaysia has declared itself as the most successful and rich country Asian region.

  • During construction, exclusively Malaysian materials were used.
  • The towers have the most powerful concrete foundation in the world, and the depth of the piles is 100 meters. Since the towers were built without the use of lightweight steel, only from Malaysian concrete, they turned out to be 2 times heavier than they could have been.
  • At the height of 41 floors there is Sky Bridge Sky Bridge. It serves as an observation deck and functions as an emergency exit in case of evacuation.

  • The Sky Bridge is reinforced with hinged (not rigid) supports because the high-rise buildings of the towers sway.
  • Another one Observation deck located on the 86th floor.
  • If you add up the area of ​​the towers' interiors, you get 48 football fields.

Short story

In 1998, in the capital of Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur - the Petronas Twin Towers proudly rose to the sky. The combination of colorful Islamic architecture and truly grandiose dimensions makes these skyscrapers one of the most beautiful urban buildings in the world.

View of the Petronas Towers from Kuala Lumpur Central Park

Each of the towers has 88 floors, and this is no coincidence. The Chinese consider eight to be a lucky number. Since 1996, that is, two years before completion of construction, the Petronas towers (452 ​​meters each) were the tallest buildings on the planet, but already in 2004 their record was broken by the Taiwanese skyscraper Taipei 101. The Petronas oil company is the “financial parent” of the Petronas Towers.

The history of the Petronas Towers dates back to the early 1990s, when the state-owned oil and gas corporation Petronas, a giant comparable to Russia's Gazprom, needed a huge business center. Just at this time, the city authorities, driven to despair by the constant accumulation of traffic jams on the road to the hippodrome, forced the equestrian club to change its location. The racecourse was moved to the suburbs, creating a 40-hectare space in the heart of densely built-up Kuala Lumpur. At first they planned to build a park here, which would become the “lungs” of the metropolis.

But the costs of maintaining a park of such a huge size amounted to a tidy sum, and the city authorities came to the conclusion that it would be more expedient to build a business center and fill the adjacent territory with green spaces. Almost simultaneously with the oil and gas corporation Petronas, the company MIA Holdings, headed by Malaysian tycoon Anand Krishan, decided to contribute to the project.

Mr. Krishan organized a large-scale PR campaign for future skyscrapers, promising the residents of Kuala Lumpur not only office buildings, but also shops, family entertainment center, a new mosque, and all this is framed by a park replete with exotic flora. Eight architectural firms took part in the competition for the best design of the Petronas Towers. The winner was an American of Argentine origin, Cesar Pelli, who by that time had created many original buildings, including the World Financial Center in New York.

Petronas Towers - Muslim-style skyscrapers

The towers are designed taking into account national characteristics countries and in plan represent two eight-pointed stars - one of the motifs of Muslim symbolism. The buildings are topped with domes, the contours of which are similar to those of mosques. The foundation was laid at a depth that boggles the imagination - 100 meters. This is the deepest concrete foundation in the world. It was built like this: during three days Every 90 seconds, trucks poured high-strength, resilient concrete into the base. To ensure the reliability of the design, the skyscraper model was blown in all directions in a wind tunnel. The experiment confirmed that Petronas is not afraid of even Malaysian hurricanes. The cost of construction, which lasted 6 years, amounted to 1.6 billion US dollars. $800 million was received from Petronas, and the rest of the costs were shared among Malaysian firms, whose offices are also located in the skyscrapers.

Petronas Towers - shopping and business center

One of the towers houses the headquarters of Petronas, and the other houses the offices of subsidiaries of the oil company and multinational corporations such as Microsoft, IBM, etc. The towers have concert hall with 840 seats, an art gallery, a conference center and a mosque. On one of the floors of the six-level shopping center there is a Petronas Gasoline Museum, where children are explained in an accessible form why oil and gas are important to the Malaysian economy. Each building has 29 two-story elevators. They are very spacious - the cabin can accommodate 52 people. In just 90 seconds, a high-speed elevator will take passengers to the top floor. At the height between the 41st and 42nd floors, the Petronas Towers are connected by a glass walkway - the “Sky Bridge”.. It is not only an observation deck, but also a means of safety - in the event of a fire, you can cross the bridge from one tower to another. By the way, tycoon Anand Krishan kept his promise: around the skyscrapers there is a park with running and walking paths, children's playgrounds, swimming pools and a fountain with a light show.

He conquered Malaysia's tallest skyscraper only on his third attempt - in 1997 and 2007, Spider-Man's climbs were interrupted by the police.

Petronas Tower Observation Deck Kuala Lumpur: review

Despite the fact that we have been to Kuala Lumpur more than once and each time we went shopping at the Suria KLCC shopping center, it was only recently that we came to visit the observation deck of the Petronas Tower, when I went on a s. On our last visit, we climbed the mountain, so I compared the view from the Petronas Tower with the view from the Menara observation deck.

At first, I planned to buy tickets in advance on the website, but I didn’t know what time I would be free after submitting documents for a visa, and then I would also like to have breakfast and drink coffee :) So I decided to take a chance and buy tickets on the spot at the box office.

Approaching the ticket office on the monitor, I immediately saw that there were no tickets for the next hour, so I specifically took tickets two and a half hours later so that I could have time to drink coffee at Starbucks and run to the hotel to leave the documents that I took with me to the consulate just in case. . The line at the box office was short, you can pay for tickets by card.

You must approach the “checkpoint” for access to the observation decks 15 minutes before the time indicated on the ticket. There we were divided into groups, each given a badge of a certain color.

They let you in one by one through a frame, like at an airport, and check your bags very carefully. You cannot go up with large bags, backpacks, as well as a tripod and a selfie stick (!); all these things can be left right there in the storage room.


While we wait for our time, we take pictures with the model of the towers

While we were waiting for everyone to gather, a short film about the construction of the towers was shown on the screen. Those who wish to take pictures are immediately photographed against a green background, and after visiting the observation deck you can buy a photo against the backdrop of Petronas Twin Towers :)

Then, centrally in groups, we load into the elevator and go to the 41st floor to the Sky Bridge. On the bridge you are given about fifteen minutes to walk around, look, and take photos. We were walking in the mountains in Malaysia, where it seemed that the bridge was floating over an abyss, and it was also swaying! Right here, on the Twin Towers Bridge, you don’t get that impression; walking along it isn’t scary at all :)

After visiting the bridge with the whole crowd, we again load into the elevator and, with a transfer, go to the 86th floor to a closed observation deck, which is located in one of the towers. It offers views of the city, the neighboring tower and the Menara TV Tower. There is also a mini museum here that tells about the construction of Petronas. Just below is a souvenir shop where you can buy a magnet or other souvenirs with symbols, as well as send a postcard. I sent a postcard home to Kyiv - I don’t know whether it will arrive or not :)

At this point, the excursion to the Petronas Tower ends and everyone is taken down in the elevator to the first floor. There is also a souvenir shop there, which you can visit without visiting the observation decks.


In the souvenir shop you can buy magnets, figurines, T-shirts, cups, postcards with the symbols of the towers, and they also sell souvenirs with orchids

The duration of the excursion is about an hour.

If we compare observation tower Petronas and the Menara observation deck, then I liked Menara much more, because...

  • The Menaret TV Tower has a closed and open observation room with a cube with a glass floor, a photo of which at an altitude of 276 m will tickle the nerves of those who, like me, are afraid of heights :), and in Petronas there is only an enclosed area
  • At Menard you go at your own pace, without a group.
  • Opens from Menara beautiful view to Petronas Towers

If you don't have much time in Kuala Lumpur or have a limited budget for visiting attractions and you choose whether to visit Petronas or Menara, I recommend choosing observation deck on the Menara tower, and just take a walk near the twin towers, go to the shopping center, have lunch at the food court, and in the evening watch the fountain show.

Close to Petronas Towers

On one side of the towers there is a park with artificial lake, in the evening there is a beautiful show - light and music fountains. There are restaurants on the ground floor of the shopping center where you can have dinner or drink beer/coffee overlooking the fountains.


Park next to the towers, very few people during the day
Towards evening, tourists gather in the park near the lake

Fountain show near the towers: video

All tourists try to take photos with the towers on the opposite side in the square with small fountains. During the day, taking a photo is problematic - the sun hits directly into the lens, and in the evening there is simply a huge crowd of tourists there :) The towers are tall and refuse to fit into the frame :) I twirled the selfie stick for a long time and took a lot of shots to get a more or less normal photo :) Enterprising merchants offer buy a lens on your phone for $20 (you can negotiate it down to $5-7) and take a photo with the twin towers.


Near the entrances to the towers there is a small park with fountains, from where everyone tries to take photos of the Petronas Towers

Petronas Towers: how to get there

You can get to the Petronas Towers at:

  • Metro to KLCC station
  • Taxi. Kuala Lumpur is very cheap taxi, especially if you order Grab, but this requires the Internet (I didn’t have a Thai SIM card)
  • Bukit Nanas Monorail Station is nearby.

In the Suria KLCC shopping center there are signs everywhere for Petronas Twin Towers, then you need to take the escalator down to the minus first floor to the ticket office.

The skyscrapers of the United States of America have long held the status of the tallest buildings in the world. But the construction of 1998 in the capital of Malaysia put an end to these established traditions - the tallest at that time were the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.

The history of the construction of the Petronas Towers in numbers

Active construction of skyscrapers in South-East Asia began in the late 80s of the 20th century. In 1992, 88-story twin towers were laid for the Malaysian oil company Petronas. The glass, concrete and steel structure was designed by Ranhill Bersekutu and Thornton Tomasetti. During the study of the area, it turned out that there is different soil under the towers, which would cause subsidence of one of the towers. Therefore, it was decided to move them 60 meters and drive piles 100 meters, making it the largest foundation in the world.

The Petronas skyscraper was built to reflect the rapid growth of a country that grew up on oil. Its construction cost $800 million. The two twin towers are just over 450 meters high (451.9). The plan of the building has the symbol of Islam - an octagonal star. This was facilitated by the participation of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, who wanted to build a building in the style of Islam. Both buildings are connected by an air bridge at the 42nd floor level. The bridge not only provides fire safety, but also affects the overall reliability of the building, which was already designed at a high level.

Air bridge

A huge amount of steel went into the construction of the Petronas Tower - 36,910 tons. Due to the use of materials only from Malaysia, it was necessary to try to replace the steel with new elastic concrete, which was successfully produced here for the new high-rise. The building has underground parking for 4,500 cars. The building is equipped with high-speed elevators, so it takes only 90 seconds to get to the top floor. For the elevator, due to limited space, an interesting scheme was used - the elevators themselves are two-story, respectively, one of them stops only on even floors, and the other on odd ones.

View from the observation deck

In addition to office space, the building contains shops, an oil museum, a conference hall and even a mosque. And on the 86th floor there is an observation deck. Amazing view they create windows - there are 32,000 of them here. To completely clean them, it takes about a month of continuous work.

Petronas Towers in disputes for high-altitude championship

After construction, this skyscraper immediately took the place of the most tall building in the world, but in fact, many questions have arisen on this issue. The main competitor, Willis Tower, lost to the twins from Malaysia by only 9 meters in absolute height of architectural spiers. But in terms of the sheer height of the floors, the situation is exactly the opposite - the skyscraper from Chicago is 70 meters ahead of them.

Skyscrapers are an American invention. However, amid the economic boom, the construction of multi-story buildings is increasing. A huge 88-story skyscraper with a height of 452 meters is located in the capital of Malaysia - these are the famous twin towers Petronas Towers, which for a long time were considered the largest skyscraper on our planet. The Petronas Twin Towers makes a great impression, which has become “ business card". Rising above the city, the towers symbolize the current one, striving to join the number.

The most respectable center of Malaysia was chosen for the construction of the skyscraper - the so-called Golden Triangle shopping center. This area is famous for skyscrapers, shopping malls, luxury hotels and chic restaurants.

The construction of Petronas Towers cost the main customer, the state corporation Petronas, $800 million. Some of the costs were covered by other Malaysian firms, which distributed office space in two skyscrapers among themselves.

The towers were erected in record time - in less than three years (they were founded in May 1993, and officially opened on May 8, 1998). In January 2000, all office space was already occupied.

One tower was built by a consortium consisting of Hazama and Mitsubishi, as well as the American JA Jones Construction. The second tower is a consortium of South Korean companies Samsung Engineering and Construction, Kok Engineering and Construction and one Malaysian company.

The grandiose structure belongs to the National Oil Corporation, part of the project to create the “City of the New Millennium” in Malaysia. Its whimsical “double” design is said to be inspired by the Grand Arch of the La Défense in Paris. The towers resemble two rockets shot up, connected by a two-story bridge lying 160 meters from the ground.

The walls to the very top are made of tempered durable glass and thin metal lintels. During the day, the towers shimmer in the sun like a huge diamond set in silver. At night, they soar above the city, rushing like luminous rockets into the swampy blackness of the sky. Their needle-spires are visible tens of kilometers beyond city boundaries.

Each tower rests on a multi-meter thick slab of high-strength concrete with a volume of 13,200 cubic meters and weighing more than 32 thousand tons, which in turn rests on 104 piles going to a depth of 60 to 115 meters. The frame of the towers required 160 thousand cubic meters of special strength concrete and 37 thousand tons of steel, which allows the towers to withstand tremors of up to 7 points and a speed of 45 m/second, although in Malaysia to date no significant and.

Both towers are connected by a covered walkway in the form of a bridge. The building is crowned with 73.5-meter turrets. These towers were completed after it became clear that the new skyscraper was only 65 meters inferior to the tallest building in Chicago at that time. After the towers were built on, the Petronas Towers became the tallest. Until recently, this title belonged to a building in Malaysia, although in 2004 the record was broken by the Taipei 101 skyscraper.

The area of ​​all premises of the building is 213.75 thousand square meters (that’s 48 football fields). The towers represent 452 meters of glass and steel. The towers themselves occupy 40 hectares. Petronas Towers houses offices, exhibition and conference halls, an art gallery, a theater, a concert hall where the Malaysian symphony orchestra performs, restaurants, as well as the main shopping center in Kuala Lumpur. In the silhouette of the sharply sharpened towers, with all the rampant high-tech, hints of national architecture are felt. Inside the towers everything is even more dynamic. Huge atriums are completed with steel structures a la space station, glass elevators glide past glass escalators.

The upper floors of the buildings are occupied by offices. On the lower floors there is a six-story shopping center, restaurants, cinemas, a huge concert hall of the Malayan Philharmonic Orchestra, galleries, museums, exhibition halls and even science Center With virtual attractions for children and adults.

But the main attraction is the skyscraper itself. At the 41st floor level there is a lintel, a glass bridge, between the towers. It is open to the public from 10:00 am to 12:45 pm and from 15:00 to 16:45 pm and admission is free. From the bridge you have an excellent view of the entire city of Kuala Lumpur.
