Discover the captivating architecture and picturesque landscapes of Putrajaya, Malaysia. Explore the city’s iconic landmarks, government buildings, and vibrant happenings for an unforgettable trip.
- Putra Mosque - The Putra Mosque is renowned for its pink hue, thanks to its rose-tinted granite, and its elegance is equally impressive inside and out. Constructed 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 - This grand building, perched on 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.
- Seri Wawasan Bridge, Putrajaya - The first stop is the most elegant of Putrajaya’s seven bridges. This 240-meter cable bridge features a futuristic design reminiscent of a sailing ship. The Seri Wawasan Bridge is visible from many points around the city.
- Kelab Tasik Putrajaya - A great way to see 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 panoramic 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 calling prayers. From a distance, it appears to be made of metal or glass.
- Moroccan Pavilion Putrajaya - The Moroccan Pavilion is a five-star destination for Instagram-worthy photos. Built to symbolize the diplomatic ties between the two governments, its stunning architecture and intricate craftsmanship resemble the villages and imperial cities of Morocco.
