Get atop the world's tallest twin towers

Kuala Lumpur: The Tri-series in Kuala Lumpur been quite exciting. But that's not the only thing that the City has to offer.

Kuala Lumpur also boasts of the world famous Twin towers, which at 452 metres, stand out against its skyline. It's believed that the twin towers are the world's tallest high-rise of 20th century.

The polished glass exteriors of the towers resemble the motifs found in Islamic art reflecting Muslim heritage but the towers define the human quest to surpass limits.

Interestingly, the two towers were built by different construction companies who were made to compete against each other. But in Kuala Lumpur, they don't care who finished first because in the end the city's residents see a real work of art.

Among other attractions, the towers have shopping malls and the offices of various companies. Though what catches the eye of a first timer is the sky bridge that connects the towers. And the view from the bridge that connects the towers on the 42nd floor and at 170 metres above the street level, is simply stunning.
