architectural concepts of its buildings, designs of its
square, boulevards and bridges, the scenic lake and the
wetlands and nature parks.
The vast man-made Putrajaya Lake is the citys
centre-piece that spreads over 400 hectares, a blue watery
expanse which blends across the different precincts. For
the best views of Putrajaya, take a cruise around the
lake. Through this meandering lake visitors can take a
leisurely lake cruise to see the many sights and landmarks
from e unique perspective - with wind in your hair and the
light spray of water turns the cruise into an experience
no one should miss.

a private day or a night tour, with pick-up from KL and a
vehicle and guide at your disposal for a leisurely visit
of the various sights and topped off with a with a lake
cruise.
