Two Capitals For One Country
Summary
Tour info
Why take this tour?
Kuala Lumpur is the official capital of Malaysia, and it is also the center of business and finance in the country. But the day-to-day administration of government has now shifted to the “intelligent” city of Putrajaya, a city entirely designed by Malaysian know-how with particular attention given to green spaces and the environment. From the comfort of a private van, this tour introduces you to the key government sites, past and present. It includes a tour of the stunning Iron Mosque in Putrajaya and visits of the former Royal Palace and former Prime Minister's Residence, now museums, in KL. You'll discover the ambitious new architecture of Putrajaya through its ministries, palaces and monuments, as well as the historical heritage buildings and structures that date back to pre-independence days, while learning about government, Malaysia's unique revolving monarchy and how the country decided to build a new capital.
