Suggested Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival – KL Tower – Putrajaya
Upon arrival at KL International Airport, proceed for transfer to the city of Kuala Lumpur. Transfer will take about 1 hour by taxi or 30 minutes by train. Check in to hotel to freshen up upon arrival at the city then pay a visit to the KL Tower, the iconic skyscraper of KL. Standing at 420 meter high, you can get a 360-degree view of the city from the top of the building. Having lunch in the KL Tower restaurant is one of the best experience that you will never forget.
After lunch, proceed to visit Putrajaya, the administrative capital of Malaysia. The journey takes about 40 minutes in clear traffic. Upon arrival, visit Seri Perdana, the official residence of the Prime Minister, then head towards to Dataran Putra and Putra Mosque, the principal mosque of Putrajaya that is built with distinct Islamic, Mamluk and Moorish architecture style. Do not miss the Putrajaya Lake, just next to the mosque, to relax by its serene calmness or take a cruise trip around the lake. A short drive around Putrajaya allow visitors to explore the various bridges built with different concepts, among them are Seri Wawasan Bridge and Putra Bridge that are both well worth a visit. Later, stop by the Putrajaya International Convention Center to visit various exhibitions / conventions (subject to availability).

The National Mosque is also a must visit for its Islamic art and architecture beauty.
