Explore the captivating architecture and picturesque landscapes of Putrajaya, Malaysia’s administrative capital. Discover 17 attractions and fun activities to make the most of your trip.
- Putra Mosque - The Putra Mosque is renowned for its pink hue, thanks to its rose-tinted granite. This elegance is mirrored both inside and out. Established by the lake in 1997, it can host up to 15,000 worshippers. Visitors often stop to take photos of this sophisticated landmark, which draws inspiration from Malay and Middle Eastern designs.
- Perdana Putra - Perched atop the main hill in Putrajaya, this grand building is notable for its palatial green dome and stone walls. It combines Islamic and modern architectural styles and serves as the office complex for ministers and high officials. While it is not open to the public, its grandeur can still be admired from the outside.
- Seri Wawasan Bridge, Putrajaya - The first stop is the most elegant of Putrajaya’s seven bridges. This 240m cable bridge features a futuristic design reminiscent of a sailing ship. The Seri Wawasan Bridge can be seen from various points around the city.
- Kelab Tasik Putrajaya - A great way to view the city’s sights is by taking a 45-minute sightseeing cruise, available during the day or evening, on a comfortable, air-conditioned 76-seater boat. Gondola-style boat rides are also an option.
- Millennium Monument - Built in 2005 to mark the new millennium, this is the first monument constructed in Putrajaya. The walkway spiraling around the monument depicts Malaysia’s history, with panels describing significant events. A time capsule at the base is set to be opened in 2020. As you ascend the ramps of the Millennium Monument, you can enjoy expansive views of the waterfront.
- Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin (Masjid Besi) - While the Pink Mosque may be more famous, the Iron Mosque (or Tunku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque) is another architectural marvel worth visiting. Made primarily of steel, its “wire mesh” architecture is inspired by Chinese and German designs. Unlike other mosques in Malaysia, it lacks a minaret for the call to prayer. From a distance, it appears to be made of metal or glass.
- Moroccan Pavilion Putrajaya - The Moroccan Pavilion is a five-star spot for Instagram-worthy photos. Built to symbolize the diplomatic relationship between the two governments, its stunning architecture and intricate craftsmanship resemble the villages and imperial cities of Morocco.
