- PETRONAS TWIN TOWERS
The defining symbol of Kuala Lumpur, these 88-storey towers were designed by Argentine architect César Pelli based on motifs and symbols found in Islamic art. For outstanding views of the city, head up to the 41st-floor skybridge and to the observation deck on the 86th floor.
