yourself in all the splendour.
Six levels of unadulterated retail
therapy. Each nook and cranny dripping
with opulence and distinct with local
character. If you’re looking for a bespoke
Giorgio Armani and Patek Philippe arm
candy or SteveMadden kicks while getting
cheeky with Agent Provocateur, this is
your spot. But also keep your eyes peeled
for Malaysian designers holding their own
next to international names. If your bank
account is looking a little low, worry not,
there are various affordable brands tucked
away. And while you’re taking a break
between swiping your card, you can refuel
at the numerous restaurants and cafes.
If shopping is not your thing, the towers
will gladly entertain you in other aspects.
How about a trip to Aquaria KLCC. It’s
located beneath the KL Convention Centre
and will delight marine-loves. Over 5,00
different exhibits and land creatures over
a sprawling 60,000 square foot space. An
ocean of adventure, with Malaysian and
international marine life. If the movie
JAWS
freaked you out, you might want
to be cautious. And make sure to stick
around for feeding time. It is a signature
experience where lucky audiences get to
witness the fishy chow time.
So after all the shopping and fish-
loving, why not pick up a drink from a
cafe and lie down on the lush fields at
the KLCC Park. Take loads of selfies, score
a quick tan and gaze upon the towers
in wonderment. The 50-acre tropical
landscape is open to all tourists, insects
and tiny critters. It’s a place to relax while
still being in the middle of all the action.
Read a book, take a quick snooze or do
a little run. The park is equipped with
running trails for health nuts. When night
falls, you’ll be thoroughly amused by the
fountain light show. Gather amongst the
crowd and watch the waters dance with
colour.
The other parts of the towers are taken
up by major corporations. They’ve turned
the towers into their hub and have been
churning out millions and millions of
dollars in corporate dealings. Petronas
Dagangan and its sister companies occupy
most of the office space alongside some
international spots.
Other perks include immersing yourself
in the art scene. No matter the day, there
will most likely be an exhibition going on
at Galeri Petronas and it doesn’t cost a
single sen to delve in their creative world.
If you’re looking for a night of sophistica-
tion, you could also catch a performance
by the Malaysian Philharmonic at the
Petronas Philharmonic Hall.
The gorgeous towers will take your
breath away. It’s hours of adventure in
the middle of Kuala Lumpur, immersed
in the rich culture of Malaysia. It is where
luxury and locality meet. It is where
you’ll be pampered while being rudely
awakened by the notorious Malaysian
heat. It’s a place to lose yourself for hours
and a destination that is synonymous with
Malaysia, so don’t miss out on Malaysia’s
tremendous twins!
