High up on the 86th floor of Kuala Lumpur’s most visited landmark - The Petronas Twin Towers - the Observation Deck puts the city - its skyscrapers, busy roads, and distant mountains - on spectacular display. The literal high point of the Petronas Twin Towers experience, the Deck also allows for a closer look at the features of the Towers themselves, highlighting the architectural blend of the postmodern with the Islamic, the sky-reaching spires that crown the buildings, and the gleaming exterior. Located in Tower 2, the Observation Deck creates an immersive Petronas Twin Towers experience with interactive displays, sighting telescopes and detailed models of the buildings.
The penultimate stop on the Petronas Twin Towers tour, the Observation Deck is a large space that’s surrounded by clear, lengthy windows from where you can look out into the city. Usually, visitors are allowed around 15 - 20 minutes here, so make the most of your time by taking a leisurely walk along the windows. Outside, during the day, you’ll observe the finer details of the city - complete with tall skyscrapers, the onion-shaped dome of the King’s Palace, and the faraway outline of the Titiwangsa range. In the evenings, the city bedazzles with illuminated buildings and streets. Zoom in on the city’s features with telescopes.
In one nook of the Deck, Tower 1 comes into razor-sharp focus. Stop here to observe the ornate, eight-point circumference of the Tower along with its sky-high spire. Just beyond the Twin Tower, you’ll also be able to spot the towering presence of the KL Tower - another Kuala Lumpur landmark. Finally, take a quick tour of the scale models of the Towers and the city. And learn more about the Petronas Twin Towns on AI-backed interactive displays.
