1. Choose your time of day
Many visitors aim for sunset or early evening to see the city in daylight and then lit up at night. Morning visits are usually calmer and may feel less rushed.

Plan your visit step by step
2. Check ticket availability
Time slots are limited and popular days can sell out in advance. Always check availability and details on the official Petronas Twin Towers channels or trusted ticket platforms.
3. Allow time for security
Arrive early for your slot to clear security screening and join the right group. Late arrivals may be reallocated or refused entry, depending on on-site rules.
Important: Information on this site is for planning purposes only. We strongly recommend checking official sources before you travel, especially for last-minute changes, closures or special events.
What to expect inside
After security and ticket checks, visitors usually move in groups through elevators up to the Skybridge and then on to the observation deck. Staff are present to guide groups and manage timing. There are designated moments for photos and free time to look around.
The experience is structured and timed, so it is useful to be ready to move when instructed and to keep personal belongings organised to pass security efficiently.
Visitor reminders
- Follow all instructions from on-site staff and signage.
- Keep valuable items secure and be mindful of your surroundings.
- Be considerate when taking photos so that others can enjoy the view too.
Dress code & photography
There is no very formal dress code for visitors, but respectful, smart casual clothing is recommended. Very revealing outfits may feel out of place. Comfortable shoes are a good idea as you will be standing and walking during most of the visit.
Personal cameras and smartphones are typically allowed, but large professional equipment or tripods may be restricted. Always follow on-site rules and do not lean over barriers for photos.
Staying safe during your visit
For most visitors the visit is straightforward and safe. However, some people may feel discomfort at heights or enclosed spaces in elevators. If you have specific concerns, discuss them with your travel companions in advance and always follow staff guidance.
In case of any urgent situation, contact on-site staff immediately. This website cannot intervene in operational issues or emergencies.
