Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC)
 Petronas Twin Towers The famous Petronas Twin Towers were not in the initial planning, but later on was introduced in an open bid by international renowned architect Cesar Pelli.
Main Attractions
The main attraction is no doubt the 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers. The former tallest building of the world was standing tall at 452m and has been seen as the symbolic icon of Malaysia in recent years.
Between the towers at 41/42 floor is the Skybridge that provides a good panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur golden triangle area. The Skybridge is open to public for free but only has limited quota per day.
Within the Petronas Towers located Suria KLCC, an award winning shopping heaven with famous fashion brands and great gourmet restaurants.
Other attractions in the Suria KLCC are Dewan Filharmonik, a worldclass orchestra hall; Petrosains, a petrol-science exhibition center; and Kuala Lumpur Convention Center (a bit confusing as it's also known as KLCC).
The convention center holds international conferences as well as exhibitions that attract thousand of locals during the event. The Kuala Lumpur Convention Center is also the home of Aquaria KLCC, with diving-with-sharks adventure and good collection of sea life.
At the esplanade outside of Suria KLCC, there is the Symphony Lake that provides 150 magical and dramatic animations.
Just beside the Petronas Twin Tower located one of the most luxurious hotels in Kuala Lumpur, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
Embracing all these buildings is the KLCC park, a 20-hectare tropical landscaping intending to provide some greens in KLCC. The park is a favorite spot for locals' family outings during the weekend.

KLCC is easily accessible with taxis.
