Putrajaya

Putrajaya is Malaysia's purpose-built federal administrative capital, a master-planned city of grand boulevards, Islamic-inspired government buildings, and a vast man-made lake ringed by mosques and bridges. Rising from former plantation land, it stands in striking contrast to nearby Kuala Lumpur as a showcase of the country's modern administrative ambitions.

Getting thereMost travellers reach Putrajaya via rail on the Express Rail Link, taking the KLIA Transit (or connecting MRT Putrajaya Line) to the Putrajaya & Cyberjaya / Putrajaya Sentral station, with Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA/KUL) roughly ~20 minutes away by train. It's also accessible by road via expressway from both Kuala Lumpur and KLIA, with buses running from the regional transport hub at Putrajaya Sentral.

How long to stayA half-day to full day is typically enough to cover Putrajaya's main landmarks, such as its iconic mosques, lake promenade, and government precinct.
