Putrajaya is Malaysia's administrative capital, a planned city of bridges, lakes and wide boulevards. Its best known landmark is the rose tinted Putra Mosque beside the lake. Government offices and green spaces make it a calm day trip or a base near Kuala Lumpur.
A full guide to this place is on its way.
Good to know for Muslim travellers
- Halal food is the norm, as across Malaysia.
- The Putra Mosque welcomes visitors outside prayer times, and modest dress is expected.
- The city is quiet at weekends, as it is a government town.
Best time to visit
Mornings are cooler and the light on the lake is at its best then; any month works.
