Lakbay-freak: Petronas Twin Towers




Petronas Twin Towers
September 15, 2012

Petronas Twin Towers Skybridge and Observation Deck.  As I was searching the web on how I can get tickets I always encounter blogs and articles on how bad the situation in getting tickets.  Usually it's sold out if you want tickets for the day.  That's because slots are limited and out already by the time the ticket booth opens at 9am.  They said people queue up as early as 7am and it's a mile long already.  Otherwise, you can get a ticket but for the next day or so.  They don't have online booking so you have no choice but to buy the tickets on site.  So upon searching and searching the web, I discovered "Nash", it's a website where you can ask them to buy the tickets for you, choose the date and time, and will be delivered to your hotel.  You also get a free stamp if your booking is confirmed.  Of course there's a price for all of this, to avoid the long queue and waste of your time, you have to pay more.  The ticket for the Skybridge and Observation Deck cost RM80 each.  Through Nash, it's RM125 each, which I think is fair enough to avoid the hassles.  And most of all, I wasn't scammed. So this morning, the tickets arrived at our hotel together with my free stamps.  From Bukit Bintang it's a 30 minute walk to Petronas, there's an elevated and air-conditioned walkway, so no worries.  We arrived 30 minutes ahead of our scheduled time of 10am and didn't see the long queue I was expecting.  Maybe it's not as bad as what I have read when we were there but looking through the monitors there  were a few slots left for the day.  Booking through Nash was still a good move.  Allow 1 hour for this activity, you are allowed to stay 15 minutes in Skybridge and 15 minutes in the Observation Deck.  The nearest train station is KLCC of Orange line.

  • The SkyBridge.  It's a double-decked bridge suspended between the two towers at levels 41 and 42.

  • Observation Deck.  Offers breath-taking views at level 88.  You'll also find exhibits, telescope and an interactive screen where you can point the markers on your ticket to the camera and see an augmented reality display of the building on screen.
