TALLEST - Twin Towers in the World:
Though they still hold the World's Tallest Twin Towers title, the much sought after World's Tallest title was taken by Taipei 101 at the official rooftop topping-out ceremony held on July 1, 2003.
"Petronas Twin Towers were once the tallest buildings in the world. Now the world’s tallest twin structures, the 88-storey buildings were designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates with both towers joined at the 41st and 42nd floors (175m above street level) by a 58 metre-long, double-decker Sky Bridge. Standing 452 metres tall, the Petronas Twin Towers retained its world-title claim to fame until 2004 when Taipei's 101 was built, measuring 508 metres tall. Today, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (opened in 2010) retains the spot as the world’s tallest building.
The Petronas Towers are located in the KL city centre, the Petronas Twin Towers’ architecture is Islamic-inspired and the buildings primarily house the corporate headquarters of the Petronas Company and other offices. Text Source & Read more at: (

Set on Level 86 is Petronas Twin Towers' observation deck, where visitors can get a closeup view of the sister tower's spire as well as digital displays and exhibit of the tower's history.
The double-decked Skybridge at the Petronas Twin Towers is one of its major draws as it offers amazing views of the city. Apart from allowing tenants of the towers to move from one building to the other without having to go to ground level, the Skybridge also functions as an emergency exit route.
An interesting fact I learned on my Visit was the Sky Bridge weighs 750 Tons & is nearly 200 feet long.
