Visit Putra Mosque

The Putra Mosque in Putrajaya City was completed just in time for the change of the millennium. With a 380-feet (116-meter) tall minaret, a beautifully decorated pink granite dome with blue-tinted windows, and carved wooden doors, this waterfront mosque impresses worshippers and visitors alike.

Inspired by the Persian Islamic architecture of the Safavid period, the architect used elements of the designs of the King Hassan II mosque in Casablanca, Morocco, and the Sheikh Omar mosque in Baghdad, Iraq. Adding to the Putra Mosque’s beauty is its setting, partly jutting out over the water.

Enjoy seeing the jogging, skateboarding and kite-flying locals in the large circular urban park and square leading up to the mosque. It is part of the surrounding Perdana Putra (Office of the Prime Minister) complex.

As you get closer, gaze up at the towering minaret, which has five tiers, symbolizing the Five Pillars of Islam, the foundation of Muslim life. Beside it, the ornate pink granite dome is topped with a golden spire.

Pink robes are provided at the entrance for you to cover up if you’ve arrived in a singlet and shorts or skirt. Step inside to see the impressive prayer hall with its 12 columns, the pulpit decorated with Islamic calligraphy and the “mihrab,” the niche that points out the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca.

The second floor of the mosque is reserved for women. In total, there is room for some 10,000 worshipper inside, while up to 5,000 others can pray outside in the semi-circular, lake-side courtyard, the Sahn.

As the sun begins to set, grab some delicious Malaysian snacks from one of the many food stalls by the lake and admire the mosque and its colorful lights beautifully reflected in the man-made lake. The sunset hues bring out the mosque’s pink color even more.

Many people visit Putrajaya on a daytrip from Kuala Lumpur, which is about 40 minutes away by car. If you arrive at the Bandar Tasik Putrajaya station by train, take a bus or taxi to Dataran Putra (Putra Square). The Park May Cityliner bus also goes there at 20-minute intervals. If coming from Presint 2, simply stroll across the bridge at the southern end of the seemingly endless Persiaran Perdana Boulevard.

Putra Mosque

WP Putrajaya

The pink-domed Putra Mosque is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive landmarks in Putrajaya. Named after Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Almarhum Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj, the mosque was completed in September 1999 and can  accommodate 15,000 worshippers at any one time. 

The mosque is constructed with rose-tinted granite, which gives it a desert-pink hue, with cengal woodwork of carvings on doors, windows and panels. It integrates Arab-Islamic architectural designs combined with the skills of local craftsmanship inspired by Muslim Persia during the Safavid period.  

Putra Mosque’s 116-m minaret, which is influenced by the design of Baghdad’s Sheikh Omar Mosque, has five tiers signifying the Five Pillars of Islam, and is one of the tallest in the region. It has a 36-m diameter main dome that stretches upon its roof, surrounded by eight other minor domes topping off the four corners of the structure. The design of its basement walls were inspired by Morocco’s King Hassan Mosque.  

The Putra Mosque consists of three main functional areas – the simple yet elegant Prayer Hall, the Sahn or courtyard, and various learning facilities and function rooms. Supporting this holy premise are 12 columns holding up its main dome reaching up as high as 250 ft above ground level. The Sahn can host up to 5,000 people during congregation and features decorative water ornamentation surrounded by beautifully constructed colonnades.  

Other than catering to spiritual needs, Putra Mosque also provides services for the community. Public spaces are available for holding conferences, seminars, symposiums, conventions and exhibitions. 

Visitors of all religions and beliefs are required to cover up (ladies should wear a headscarf) upon entering the Putra Mosque as a sign of respect.  

How to get there

Putra Mosque is situated next to the Perdana Putra, which houses the office complex of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, and facing the scenic Putrajaya Lake.

If you are  coming from Kuala Lumpur and  using public transport, you can take the KLIA Transit train from KL  Sentral  to Putrajaya, and then take a taxi from the Putrajaya   Sentral  station.

Putra Mosque Putrajaya

Wherever you go in Putrajaya you are bound to catch a glimpse of Putra Mosque, Putrajaya's famous pink mosque.

I recommend that you visit the mosque and take a look inside at the exquisitely decorated dome.

The mosque is located on the edge of Putrajaya Lake in the heart of the city next to Dataran Putra.

Construction was officially completed on 1 September 1999 at a cost of around RM250 million.

It is named after the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tungku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj.

The main dome and smaller domes are made from pink granite and are intricately embellished.

Putra Mosque combines Middle Eastern and traditional Malay design elements in its architecture.

Non-Muslims are welcome to visit the mosque but its primary role of course is not as a tourist attraction but as a working place of worship for Putrajaya's Muslim community.

-  Lecture rooms .

-  A dining hall  for up to 230 guests. These last three facilities can be rented out for appropriate functions.

Saturday-Thursday: 9am-12.30pm, 2-4pm, 5.30-6pm

Visitors are requested to dress respectfully.

Female visitors will be directed to proceed to the robe counter and put on a pink robe with a hood.

As you will note from the photo, shoes may be worn in the outdoor courtyard area but must be removed at the steps to the Main Prayer Hall.

A sign at the main entrance reads as follows:

Females who are menstruating are requested not to enter the Main Prayer Hall.

Visitors are requested to respect the mosque by maintaining cleanliness and upholding its purity.

Smoking is strictly prohibited .

Free leaflets in English and other languages are available to help non-Muslims understand aspects of Islam such as dress, polygamy. prayer in congregation, Islam's view on Jesus Christ and other topics.

Even if you do not know anything about Islam you will surely be impressed by the Putra Mosque.

Going on a Putrajaya trip and want to know all the best things to do in Putrajaya? We have you covered! Below you will find our guide to all the best attractions in Putrajaya to plan your ultimate trip.

Putrajaya is a city often overlooked thanks to being so close to its big brother Kuala Lumpur, and many visitors to KL only see a glimpse of it on the motorway to and from the airport.

However, there are many places of interest in Putrajaya as well as things to do at Putrajaya that make it a great spot to visit.

Located just 25km south of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya was previously filled with plantations of rubber and oil palm. Today, it is the judicial and administrative capital of Malaysia. Putrajaya is a planned city and also dubbed an eco-city with over a third of the land reserved as greenery, making it one of the greenest cities in Asia.

Filled with stunning buildings, modern skyscrapers and manmade attractions, there are plenty of places to go in Putrajaya. Still, this is a quiet city and you won’t find many night activities in Putrajaya.

Below, you will find our Putrajaya travel blog with everything you need to know about what to do in Putrajaya as well as the best places to stay for your ultimate holiday! There is also a handy map of the best places to visit in Putrajaya Malaysia.

Top 14 Best Things To Do In Putrajaya Malaysia

Here are the best Putrajaya attractions. Read through and select the ones that fit your interests and timeframe.

Note that the things to do Putrajaya offers are more about stunning huge monuments, gorgeous gardens and interesting architecture rather than museums or other places to walk around and explore. Often, it’s more about seeing the outsides and taking some photos which is why the Putrajaya tourist attractions can be best visited on a tour.

This is the tour I took and recommend.

There is a section below which talks more about taking a tour.

What I also loved here is that the buildings were all designed by Malaysian architects and meant to represent this country. It’s really a unique place.

Putrajaya Lake

Putrajaya’s ambition can best be seen in one of the top places in Putrajaya, Putrajaya Lake. In our opinion, this manmade lake is the most impressive attraction in Putrajaya. This 650 hectare lake has become the centrepiece of the city with many of the impressive buildings and accommodation options located on its banks.

Believe it or not, fishing is popular activity here. There are also some beautiful gardens, jogging trails and cycling tracks.

From Marina Putrajaya, you can do a whole host of Putrajaya lake activities like stand up paddle boarding or zoom along the lake in a water jetpack.

You can also cruise the lank on a catamaran or wooden perahu (more details below).

It is also the best place in Putrajaya at night to take a walk.

Putra Mosque

From the banks of the Putrajaya Lake you can see the Putra Mosque – one of the Putrajaya places to visit.

Most of the population of Putrajaya are Muslim so the Putra Mosque is an important site in this city as well as one of the tourist attractions in Putrajaya.

This is a beautiful rose tinted mosque built for up to 15,000 worshippers at any one time. Non-Muslim visitors are permitted to visit outside of the designated prayer times.

Robes are provided on entrance if you’d like to step inside and appreciate the ornate decorations, or grab a moment of peace.

Address: Persiaran Persekutuan, Presint 1, Wilayah Persekutuan Putrajaya

Perdana Putra (Prime Minister’s Offices)

As the administrative capital of Malaysia, one of the Putrajaya things to do is admire the Perdana Putra, or Prime Minister’s Offices.

It’s just steps away from Putra Mosque and can be appreciated from the outside only. Built is an Islamic architectural style, this building is lovely to look at and a mixture of both eastern and western influences.

You can admire the mint green dome, the east and west wings of the building, and see Dataran Perdana where the prime minister holds ceremonies and meets with dignitaries.

The walkways and surrounding garden are also beautifully kept and landscaped.

Address: Persiaran Sultan Sallahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, Presint 1, Wilayah Persekutuan Putrajaya

Perbadanan Putrajaya

Perbadanan Putrajaya is another example of the architecture of this city, with an enormous archway in the centre of the building. This tourist attraction in Putrajaya makes for a great photo opportunity, celebrating the modern architecture of this city.

The area is quite beautiful too with flowers and grassy areas perfect for a picnic or lunch.

It’s directly opposite the Palace of Justice and, through the centre of it, you can see the Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque coming up next!

Address: Kompleks Perbadanan Putrajaya, 24, Persiaran Perdana, Presint 3, 62675, Putrajaya

Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque

Also known as the Iron Mosque, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque is one of the most unique mosques in the world and a must see among Putrajaya attractions 2024.

This is a modern and intricately constructed building taking inspiration from the past yet obviously looking towards the future. The mosque is constructed with metal wires and lacks any minarets, making it quite a unique design. Inside is airy and spacious, adorned with calligraphy from the Quran.

The mosque sits just opposite the Palace Of Justice, and there is also a green and luscious garden.

If you enjoy cutting edge architecture, this is the best place to visit in Putrajaya.

Address: 25, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Presint 3, Wilayah Persekutuan Putrajaya

Istana Kehakiman (Palace Of Justice)

Just opposite the Iron Mosque sits the Palace Of Justice, another interesting place in Putrajaya.

The Palace of Justice can be appreciated from both inside and out. There is a spacious courtyard and Taj Mahal like architecture on the outside, and a museum on the inside.

If you’re interested in judicial history then the museum is one of the fun things to do in Putrajaya. You can see costumes and a stone monument known as the Batu Bersurat which lists Islamic laws and dates from 1303AD.

There’s also a justice hall of fame with biographies of Malaysia’s Chief Justices, and a mock high court. Look up and you’ll also see the decorative interior of the domes.

This is not always open to the public so check before travelling here.

Address: Persiaran Perdana, Presint 3, Wilayah Persekutuan Putrajaya

Taman Botani (Botanical Gardens)

One of the best outdoor activities in Putrajaya is a visit to the Taman Botani. This is an excellent botanical gardens to visit with over 700 species of plants including many native to the region. There’s also beautiful trees, plenty of grassy areas suitable for a picnic, and a canopy bridge to walk over.

You can explore by hiring a bike at a reasonable price or walking around. Another way to explore is via a tram ride (which is more like a bus).

This is the best thing to do in Putrajaya if you’re looking for a peaceful setting. It is rarely crowded. Note, however, it’s best to bring food and drinks with you as there are limited options available for purchase.

If you’re looking for places to visit in Putrajaya at night, the Taman Botani is open until 7pm.

However, note that currently, there is some development happening in these gardens and it’s not at its best.

Address: Lebuh Perdana Barat, Presint 1, Wilayah Persekutuan Putrajaya

Views From The Putrajaya International Convention Centre

An easy place to visit is the outside of the Putrajaya International Convention Centre where you can find views back over Putrajaya.

It only takes a moment to take a look and snap some great photos, and you’ll be glad you did.

Taman Wetlands

Another Putrajaya interesting place among this city’s unique attractions is the Taman Wetlands. What makes it so cool is its close proximity to the city – it’s less than 2km away.

This area is actually a man-made wetlands which has become an important ecosystem and home to around 100 species of birds. Plenty of other animals including mammals, reptiles and insects have also made this wetlands their home.

There are plenty of Putrajaya outdoor activities you can do here like jogging, cycling, picnicking and exploring gardens like the bamboo garden. There’s also a playground for kids.

It’s open until 7pm so a walk here can be one of the things to do in Putrajaya at night.

Address: Presint 13, Putrajaya

Putra Bridge

One can not write a Putrajaya what to do list without mentioning the Putra Bridge. This bridge is huge and a stunning piece of architecture.

From the bridge you can get great views of the lake, the Putra Mosque and the Prime Minister’s Office. The bridge also leads to another nice place to visit in Putrajaya, Putra Square.

Putra Bridge is also a Putrajaya night attraction with night time being the best time to snap a photo.

Address: Presint 2, Putrajaya, Selangor

River Cruise

From Marina Putrajaya there are a range of cruises you can do including a sightseeing cruise, a dining cruise and a more traditional wooden boat cruise similar to a gondola. There are also larger capacity, modern and airconditioned boats.

This is a great way to see and appreciate Putrajaya from it’s unique man-made lake – itself the Putrajaya best place to visit.

While a cruise itself is one of the activities to do in Putrajaya, they can also take you to many of the things to see in Putrajaya.

I highly recommend it.

You can do this as part of the half day tour from KL that I took and recommend here.

District 21

District 21 is located in the IOI City Mall, itself a large mall and the best place at Putrajaya for shopping.

Putrajaya With Kids

Like most places in Malaysia, kids and families are made to feel welcome in Putrajaya.

Having said that, when it comes to what to do in Putrajaya Malaysia with kids, beyond District 21, there are not many places to see in Putrajaya that will interest kids. A visit here mostly involves looking at cool buildings and walking around. There are a couple of playgrounds, but not much more to offer kids for any longer than a day trip.

There are places to visit near Putrajaya like Sunway Lagoon, and of course Kuala Lumpur, that have lots more to offer.

Final Words

Whichever way you look at it, there’s no denying that Putrajaya is an interesting place to visit! It is modern, luscious, yet can be eerily quiet!

There are enough interesting places to visit in Putrajaya for a day trip, and it’s also a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of much bigger Kuala Lumpur.

Even if you only do a Putrajaya 1 day trip, I recommend you visit to this unique city.
