Putrajaya Tour

1. This imposing building stands atop the main hill in Putrajaya, catching eyes with its palatial-style green dome and stone walls. Featuring a blend of Islamic and modern architecture, the office complex is where ministers and higher officials work. It is not open to visitors, but you can still admire its grandeur from the outside.

   15 Min.

2. Rose-tinted granite gives the Putra Mosque its iconic pink hue, an elegance that reflects as remarkably on the inside as it does on the outside. Built by the lake in 1997, the mosque can accommodate up to 15,000 worshippers. Visitors would stop by for photographs with this sophisticated landmark, which drew inspiration from Malay and Middle Eastern influences.

   15 Min.

3. The first stop is one of seven bridges in Putrajaya, which is the most elegant. The 240m cable bridge features a futuristic design borrowing the shape of a sailing ship. The Seri Wawasan Bridge is visible from many vantage points of the city.

   15 Min.

4. 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 cruise boat. Gondola-style boat rides are also available.

   45 Min.

5. While the Pink Mosque may have stolen its thunder, the Iron Mosque (or Tunku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque) is another architectural wonder worth checking out. Constructed primarily from steel, “wire mesh” architecture draws inspiration from Chinese and German designs. Unlike other mosques in Malaysia, there is no minaret which is used to call for prayers. From afar, it looks like it is made of metal or glass.

   15 Min.

6. The Moroccan Pavilion deserves five stars for Instaworthiness, if such a rating exists. Built to symbolise the diplomatic ties between the two governments, the stunning architecture and delicate craftsmanship bear resemblance to the villages and imperial cities of Morocco.

About Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysias pulsierende Hauptstadt: Die Petronas Towers überragen malaiische, chinesische und indische Viertel und berühmtes Streetfood.

Die Zwillingstürme der Petronas Towers, durch eine Skybridge verbunden, prägen die Skyline, zu ihren Füßen ein gestalteter Park mit Fontänen. Der KL Tower bietet von seinem bewaldeten Hügel eine andere Aussicht, und der Merdeka-Platz, auf dem bei der Unabhängigkeit die Nationalflagge gehisst wurde, wird vom maurisch anmutenden Sultan-Abdul-Samad-Gebäude gerahmt.

Top-ranked sights in Kuala Lumpur: National Mosque of Malaysia (Masjid Negara), Thean Hou Temple, Kuala Lumpur Chinatown.
