Weekend in Kuala Lumpur: business district

Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is 50 minutes away by plane from Singapore. This city did not dazzle me at first, but as I walked around I found it more and more interesting.

We started our city tour with the Golden triangle, the city's business quarter full of skyscrapers, shopping malls, hotels...
This neighborhood is also the home of the famous Petronas twin towers. These 452 meters high towers, designed by the Argentine architect Cesar Pelli symbolize the country's economic growth.

A sky bridge connects the two towers. There is a free access to the bridge but you have to queue for hours to get tickets to go up there. Unfortunately for us we did not get up early enough.
