Highlights
- Seri Wawasan Bridge, Putrajaya - The first stop is one of seven bridges in Putrajaya and is considered the most elegant. This 240-meter cable bridge boasts a futuristic design inspired by the shape of a sailing ship. The Seri Wawasan Bridge can be seen from various vantage points throughout the city.
- Putrajaya Lake - Located in the heart of Putrajaya, Malaysia, this 650-hectare man-made lake serves as a natural cooling system for the city. It is also used for recreation, fishing, water sports, and water transport.
- Perdana Putra - This grand building, perched atop the main hill in Putrajaya, is notable for its palatial green dome and stone walls. Combining Islamic and modern architectural styles, this office complex houses ministers and high-ranking officials. While it is not open to the public, its grandeur can still be admired from the outside.
- Putra Mosque - The Putra Mosque is distinguished by its rose-tinted granite, giving it a unique pink hue. Built by the lake in 1997, the mosque can accommodate up to 15,000 worshippers. Visitors often stop to take photographs of this sophisticated landmark, which draws inspiration from Malay and Middle Eastern designs.
- Kelab Tasik Putrajaya - One of the best ways to see the city’s sights is by taking a 45-minute daytime or evening sightseeing cruise on a comfortable, air-conditioned 76-seater boat. Gondola-style boat rides are also available.
- 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, also known as the 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 calling prayers. From a distance, it appears to be made of metal or glass.
- 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 of the monument is set to 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.
- Moroccan Pavilion Putrajaya - The Moroccan Pavilion is a five-star Instagram-worthy spot, if such a rating existed. Built to symbolize the diplomatic ties between Malaysia and Morocco, 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 the annual Royal Floria Putrajaya garden festival, with a different theme each year. For example, the 2016 festival’s theme was “Magical World of Floria,” featuring chrysanthemums. It is also a beautiful spot for photography, especially at the China-Malaysia Friendship Garden.
- Agriculture Heritage Park - Visitors can sample fresh fruits and observe activities such as rubber tapping, latex collection, crop maintenance, and fruit preservation. Attractions include the Visitors’ Complex, an orchard, an herbs and spices trail, a clonal rubber plot, and a viewing deck. The park also offers various agro-products for sale and organizes agro-based activities and programs year-round.
- Putrajaya International Convention Centre - The Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) is one of Malaysia’s premier venues for meetings and conventions. Surrounded by green parks, lakes, and wetlands, it is a high-tech center for various types of meetings. It was the first convention center to receive the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Best Practices Award by ASEAN in 2007 and has since won numerous accolades, including 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.
- Putrajaya Botanical Garden - The largest botanical garden in Malaysia, the Putrajaya Botanical Garden spans over 92 hectares. It is divided into three sections: flowers, ornamental plants, and preservation/research. The garden features more than 700 species of flowering plants, including local and Asia-Pacific and African varieties. It also serves as a research center. Children will enjoy the vast collection of exotic flowers, and educators can explore many plant species at the research center.
- 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. The park is quite large, stretching from the boulevard on one end to the lakeside of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, flanking Lebuh Ehsan (Ehsan Avenue) on another. To give you an idea of its size, a slow jog around the entire garden would take about an hour.
