Putrajaya Travel Tips

Putrajaya is also known as Malaysia's "other" capital city. In 1999, the federal government of Malaysia moved to Putrajaya, and four years after, the judiciary of Malaysia followed suit. It has been lurking in the shadow of Kuala Lumpur but has its own set of allures worth every tourist's attention. Putrajaya has many things to offer its visitors: an amazing array of tourist attractions and a reputation as one of the world’s greenest cities.

One of the best things to do in Putrajaya is a cultural trip to discover its graceful vibe. Visit Malaysia’s most impressive mosques, monuments, and government buildings, and experience its rich heritage. Along the way, you should not miss the iconic Putra Bridge, a three-tiered bridge inspired by Iranian architecture. It is a commanding sight over the 650-hectare man-made Putrajaya Lake, originally meant to provide a natural cooling system, but now serves as a primary tourist attraction.

Putrajaya is a short trip from Kuala Lumpur via the high-speed train service. You can take a flight to KL from countless destinations in Asia and the rest of the world, and have a great time exploring the actual capital before heading out to Putrajaya.
