Informazioni generali

Destinazione
Kuala Lumpur, Malesia

Il programma nel dettaglio

Built over six years at the turn of the millennium, it stands as a testament to the country’s giant social and economic advances. Imaginatively landscaped around a massive lake, this is the city of the future today.



Putrajaya is named after Malaysia’s first prime minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj. It was planned to the minutest detail as an intelligent garden city redolent with lush greenery and water, encompassing 13 gardens and parks. There is also the Putrajaya Wetland, with wetland plants from more than 50 local species.



There are a number of places to visit including the Agricultural Heritage Park, where you can see a demonstration of rubber tapping, the Perdana Putra prime minister’s complex and the ‘floating’, 15,000-capacity Putra Mosque. Cross the Putra Bridge over the Putrajaya Lake and see Putra Square, one of the ‘stars’ of the city. See also Seri Perdana, the official prime minister’s residence.
