Skyway Bridge

The skyway between the two towers symbolizes a gateway to the future. Plus, it makes it easier to go from one tower to the other. It is also a safety device, so that in case of an emergency in one tower, people can evacuate by crossing the skyway to the other tower. The elevators are used if both towers need to be evacuated.

The skyway is located at the 41st and 42nd floors. Visitors are only allowed on the 41st floor; the 42nd floor is used by tenants. If you want to go higher, you'll have to change elevators here.

Other attractions at the Petronas:

At the podium levels, you'll find the Dewan Filharmonik, an 865 seat concert hall, and the Petrosains an interactive petroleum discovery center.

Between the towers is the Suria KLCC, an exclusive, 6-story shopping mall and entertainment center This is also an excellent place to eat with dozens of restaurant, cafe, and fast food options.
