Those interested in Islamic arts can visit the Islamic Arts Centre overlooking the mosque.
- Merdeka Square - On 31 August 1957, the Union Jack was lowered at Dataran Merdeka to mark Malaysia’s independence from colonial rule, hence the name ‘Independence Square’. In its prime, the square hosted parades, cricket matches, and other significant events. Today, this historic heart of KL is preserved with beautifully manicured lawns, terraces, and a fountain. Adjacent to Dataran Merdeka is the Royal Selangor Club, a mock-Tudor structure with an intriguing history. The 100m high flagpole at Dataran Merdeka is one of the tallest in the world.
- Kuala Lumpur City Gallery - KL City Gallery was established in 1989 after the building underwent various changes in purpose and occupancy after ceasing to be a printing office. Tenants included the Ministry of Labour and the Postal Authorities. The building features two floors of exhibition space, a cafe, a museum shop, and serves as a tourist information center.
- Sultan Abdul Samad Building - A prominent and distinguished landmark of KL, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building is a lasting attraction amidst the rapidly evolving city skyline. Built in 1897, it was named after the reigning monarch at the time. The stately edifice served as the government administrative building during the British era. Constructed entirely of brick, it boasts a Mahometan or Neo-Saracenic style with an imposing porch, graceful arches, shiny copper domes, and a 41.2m high clock tower. The building houses a Tourist Information Centre.
- National Monument - The National Monument was erected to honor those who sacrificed their lives for peace and freedom, particularly during the nation’s struggle against communism. Within the National Monument grounds is one of the world’s largest free-standing bronze sculptures, sculpted in 1966 by Felix de Weldon, who also created the famous Iwo Jima monument in Washington DC.
- Istana Negara - Istana Negara, or the National Palace, is the official residence of the King of Malaysia.

- Perdana Putra - This imposing building stands atop the main hill in Putrajaya, catching the eye with its palatial-style green dome and stone walls. Featuring a blend of Islamic and modern architecture, the office complex is where ministers and high officials work. It is not open to visitors, but its grandeur can be admired from the outside.
- Putra Mosque - The Putra Mosque’s iconic pink hue comes from rose-tinted granite, reflecting elegance both inside and out.

- Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin (Masjid Besi) - The Iron Mosque (or Tunku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque) is another architectural marvel worth visiting. Constructed primarily from steel, its “wire mesh” architecture draws inspiration from Chinese and German designs. Unlike other mosques in Malaysia, it lacks a minaret for calling prayers. From afar, 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. A time capsule at the base of the monument will be opened in 2020. As you ascend the ramps of the Millennium Monument, you can enjoy sweeping views of the waterfront.
- Moroccan Pavilion Putrajaya - The Moroccan Pavilion deserves five stars for its Instagram-worthy appeal, if such a rating exists. Built to symbolize the diplomatic ties between the two governments, the stunning architecture and delicate craftsmanship resemble the villages and imperial cities of Morocco.
