One of the main attractions and definitely a must-see when one visits Kuala Lumpur are the Petronas Towers. The towers are a landmark in the city center and a testament to the modernization and industrialization of Malaysia. These stood as the tallest buildings in the world for many years (1998-2004) until they were topped by the Taipei 101 (which in turn was topped by the Burj Khalifa in 2010). Here are a few photos at the Petronas Towers.

There are many foreign and local tourists going around and taking photos with the towers (of course). Unfortunately, we could only visit during the day. The towers and surrounding areas are more photogenic at nighttime with the lighting giving more life to the scenes. Inside is a posh shopping mall and a performing arts theater. The mall is host to many luxury brands stores though there are many other shops and also a food court where you can get affordable meals.
