Set just south of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya is Malaysia’s modern administrative capital, a city of graceful symmetry, shimmering lakes, and grand Islamic-inspired architecture. Designed as a “garden city,” it blends innovation with serenity: tree-lined boulevards sweep past domed mosques, pastel bridges, and landscaped parks that glow at sunset. Travellers can glide across Putrajaya Lake on a quiet boat cruise, wander the bougainvillea-draped paths of Taman Botani, or watch the pink granite Putra Mosque reflected in calm waters. Putrajaya offers a peaceful, well-kept setting that suits travellers looking for scenic walks, modern landmarks, and a slower pace close to Kuala Lumpur.
