Start to finish

How the day goes

Roughly. It is a group of travellers, not a coach tour, so the end of it moves.

7:00 PM: Meet in the common area at Travelogue Guesthouse.
Twilight: The towers, in the half hour they are worth seeing.
After dark: The fountain and light show.
Later: The park behind the towers, and the walk back.

On the day

What happens

The towers are the reason most people can picture Kuala Lumpur without having been. Seeing them is free and takes an evening, and the walk is timed for twilight rather than the middle of the day, because for about half an hour the sky is still blue behind them and after that it is not.

The towers at twilight, which is the half hour they are worth standing under.
Panoramic city views, and the photograph everyone came to Kuala Lumpur to take.
The fountain and light show after dark, which runs more than once so nobody has to rush.
The KLCC park behind the towers, where the group usually ends up once the show is over.

What it costs

Free to join. Food and drinks are at your own expense.

Getting there

About 15 minutes on foot.

What you will actually see

Three things worth knowing before you get there.

Lit against a sky that has not gone black yet, which is the half hour every photograph of them is taken in.

In front of the mall behind the towers, after dark, and it runs more than once.

The steps

The flight on the KLCC side is the one spot that fits both towers in a frame, which is why every photograph on this page was taken from it.

The photograph everyone comes for

Different weeks, the same two towers, the same flight of steps. Five of them.

Ask on WhatsApp

What time is the Petronas Towers night tour?

Every Tuesday and Friday at 7:00 PM, from the common area at Travelogue Guesthouse in Bukit Bintang. That puts the group at the towers for twilight.

Does the tour go up the Petronas Twin Towers?

No. This is the towers from the outside at twilight, the fountain and light show, and the KLCC park. Tickets to the skybridge and the observation deck are booked separately and are not part of it.

What does the KLCC night tour cost?

Joining is free. Food and drinks are at your own expense.

Is it worth going if I have already seen the towers?

Most people have seen them in the day. This one is at twilight and then after dark, with the fountain and light show, which is a different building entirely once it is lit.
