The skyline of Malaysia's capital city exhibits a spectacular blend of modern architecture and national heritage.

Kuala Lumpur has 173 buildings that meet the definition of "skyscraper" (150 meters or taller), and six that reach over 300 meters (984 feet). The architectural icons of the city are undoubtedly the 1,483-foot-tall Petronas Towers. Unveiled in 1998, these twin towers were the world's tallest structures for 16 years. The towers display a contemporary Islamic design and are connected by a skybridge located 558 feet above ground. Other notable buildings in Kuala Lumpur include Exchange 106 (1,300 feet tall) and KL Tower (1,380 feet), the latter of which features a popular outdoor lookout and revolving restaurant. And when completed in late 2024, Merdeka 118 will be home to the world's highest observation deck.
