About Suria KLCC Mall

Opened in 1998, Suria KLCC has grown into one of Malaysia’s most-visited malls. It’s directly linked to the Petronas Twin Towers and connected to KLCC Park, making it both a shopping haven and a tourist attraction.

This is both a place to shop and a place where you can dine, relax, and even catch a glimpse of exhibitions and cultural events.
