Highlights
  • Batu Caves - Batu Caves is a renowned and well-loved tourist destination in Selangor. Home to a Hindu temple and shrine, it draws in thousands of worshipers and visitors.

A limestone hill located just north of Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves features three main caves with temples and Hindu shrines. Its primary attraction is the large statue of a Hindu deity at the entrance, along with a steep 272-step climb that offers a breathtaking view of the city skyline. Monkeys play around the caves, and it is a favored spot for rock climbing enthusiasts. The site also showcases paintings and scenes of Hindu gods.

  • Seri Wawasan Bridge, Putrajaya - The first stop is one of seven bridges in Putrajaya, and it is the most elegant. The 240-meter cable bridge boasts a futuristic design inspired by the shape of a sailing ship. The Seri Wawasan Bridge is visible from many points in the city.
  • Putrajaya Lake - Putrajaya Lake is a central feature of Putrajaya, Malaysia. This 650-hectare man-made lake serves as a natural cooling system for the city and is also used for recreation, fishing, water sports, and water transport.
  • Perdana Putra - This grand building stands atop the main hill in Putrajaya, catching the eye with its palatial green dome and stone walls. Combining Islamic and modern architecture, this office complex is where ministers and high-ranking officials work. It is not open to visitors, but its grandeur can still be admired from the outside.
  • Putra Mosque - The Putra Mosque is distinguished by its rose-tinted granite, giving it an iconic pink hue that is as impressive inside as it is outside. Built by the lake in 1997, the mosque can accommodate up to 15,000 worshipers. Visitors often stop to take photographs of this sophisticated landmark, which draws inspiration from Malay and Middle Eastern influences.
  • Seri Perdana - Seri Perdana is the official residence of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, located in Putrajaya.
  • Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin (Masjid Besi) - The Iron Mosque, or Tunku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque, is another architectural marvel worth visiting. Constructed mainly from steel, its “wire mesh” architecture is inspired by Chinese and German designs. Unlike other mosques in Malaysia, it has no minaret for calling prayers. From a distance, it appears to be made of metal or glass.
  • Millennium Monument - Designed in 2005 to welcome the new millennium, this is the first monument built in Putrajaya. The walkway spiraling around the monument illustrates Malaysia’s history, with panels describing significant events in the country. There is a time capsule at the base of the monument that will be opened in 2020. As you ascend the ramps of the Millennium Monument, you can enjoy sweeping views of the waterfront.
  • 172, Persiaran Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah - Istana Melawati is the second national palace of Malaysia’s Yang di-Pertuan Agong in Putrajaya, serving as a royal retreat for the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
  • Moroccan Pavilion Putrajaya - The Moroccan Pavilion deserves five stars for its Instagram-worthy appeal, if such a rating existed. Built to symbolize the diplomatic ties between the two governments, its stunning architecture and intricate craftsmanship resemble the villages and imperial cities of Morocco.
  • Anjung Floria - Anjung Floria is a public park in Putrajaya, located in Precinct 4. It hosts an annual garden festival called Royal Floria Putrajaya, with a different theme each year. For example, the theme for the 2016 festival was “Magical World of Floria,” featuring chrysanthemums as the flower theme. It is also a beautiful spot for photography, with the China-Malaysia Friendship Garden being a particularly picturesque location.
  • Agriculture Heritage Park - Visitors can sample fresh fruits and observe activities such as rubber tapping, latex collection, crop maintenance, fruit preservation, and more. Attractions here include the visitors’ complex, an orchard, an herbs and spices trail, a clonal rubber plot, and a viewing deck. The park also offers many agro-products for sale, and various agro-based activities and programs are organized for visitors year-round.
  • Putrajaya International Convention Centre - The Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) is one of Malaysia’s premier venues for meetings and conventions. Nestled in an oasis of green parks, lakes, and wetlands, it is a carefully planned, high-tech center for all types of meetings. The first convention center to receive the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Best Practices Award by ASEAN in 2007, it has garnered many accolades since. Among them are the Best Brands in Services - Convention Centre Award by the Asia Pacific Brand Foundation (APBF) 2013-2014 and the International Quality Crown (IQC) Award 2014 in the Gold Category.
  • Taman Wawasan - A hidden gem! That’s what we felt on our first visit to Taman Wawasan Putrajaya. “Wawasan Park” is our direct translation, with “Wawasan” meaning vision. The garden was named in alignment with Malaysia’s “Vision 2020,” a goal for the country to become developed by 2020. Back to the park: it is truly vast, touching the boulevard on one end and the lakeside of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, flanking Lebuh Ehsan (Ehsan Avenue) on another. Still unsure how big it is? Well, if we jog slowly, it might take an hour to complete a full round of the garden.
