Petronas Twin Towers

KL's defining icon: 452m of gleaming steel with a double-decker Skybridge and an 86th-floor deck. The building is unmissable, but the paid deck runs on timed tickets that sell out, and the view lacks the towers themselves. Honestly, the free view from KLCC Park at night is the money shot.
