Attractions at Petronas Towers
The sky bridge at Petronas Twin Towers is the world’s highest two-storey bridge sitting between the two towers 170 meters above the ground. The bridge joins the 41st and 42nd floors of the two towers, which not only acts as a podium where one can change elevators to reach higher levels, but can also be used as a safe evacuation route in cases of emergency. The 42nd floor of the tower can, however, be accessed only by the registered tenants and workers leaving only the 41st floor open for visitors. The bridge is open for one and all, however, it is limited to only 1000 visitors per day.
