How tall are the "petronas tower" and why can't you go up higher than the footbridge that links the two towers?
How high are you when you walk on this brigde?
Have you been afraid, did you have vertigo?

Hi again !!!

I think that the Petronas Tower are twin towers and were the world's tallest buildings, before being surpassed by Taipei. However, the towers are still the tallest twin buildings in the world. They were the world's tallest buildings from 1998 to 2004. The top floor is reached at 375 meters high and the antenna is 451 meters high. Public audience is not allowed to reach the top of the building - mainly for security reason I think because the visit is very framed. The towers are a shelter for many companies including the malaysian one "Petronas", a gaz and petrol company.

We were glad to have a look on Kuala Lumpur from the towers even we were not at the top end of the buildings. The bridge is made of glass so you have a panoramical view. But as you still are inside the building, it is not so impressive. As a consequence we were not afraid!
