Putrajaya is a planned city and the federal administrative capital of Malaysia. It is located in the southern part of Peninsular Malaysia, approximately 25 kilometers (about 15.5 miles) south of Kuala Lumpur, the country's largest city and capital. Putrajaya was planned and developed with the intention of serving as the administrative center of Malaysia, alongside Kuala Lumpur, which remains the country's financial and commercial hub.
Putrajaya is home to many government buildings, ministries, and administrative offices, including the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Finance, and various government agencies. It is where important decisions related to the governance of Malaysia are made.
Putrajaya's well-planned layout, modern infrastructure, and commitment to preserving the environment make it an interesting and unique destination for visitors interested in government and administrative affairs, contemporary architecture, and green urban planning. Here are a few things to do if you are planning for a Putrajaya holiday trip.
