THE WORLD'S HIGHEST TOWERS STORY

This year I was able to visit 2 of the world's tallest bulding(Petronas tower and Burj khalifa) and 2 of the world's tallest towers(Menara kuala lumpur and Berliner Fernsehturm).

The Petronas Towers in Malaysa was the world's tallest building in 1998 stands 1,483 ft with 88 floors.Tourist can only go up to the 42nd flr where the bridge connecting both towers located.

The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the current world's tallest Building since 2009 at 2.716.5ft with 160 floors and the observation deck called , At The Top is on level 124.

The Menara Kuala Lumpur is the world's 7th tallest tower at 1,381 ft tall .

The Berliner Fernsehturm is 15th with the height of 1,207 ft. The tallest of them all is the Tokyo Sky Tree which stands 2,080 ft. (I wish to see this tower too!)
(Berliner Fernsehturm)


Among  these four skyscrappers, the Petronas Towers is my fave, though its  harder to enter the building compared to the others. Harder in the sense that you need to be there  very early in the morning and line up to get your time slot in going up (we were on the line as early as 6am ).

I will be posting separate blogs on each of the towers with more pictures.
