Putrajaya is the most majestic and impressive city in Malaysia.Covering 4581 hectares, it it located 25 kilometres south of Kuala Lumpur and 20 kilometres north of the KL International Airport in Sepang.This is the model Malaysian city of the new millenium. the “Intelligent Garden City” and the federal administrative capital of Malaysia.  Adjacent sister city Cyberjaya is built along the same lines aimed to attract the IT industry. About 40% of Putrajaya is natural, but the landscape has been extensively reworked by man: lush greenery and botanical gardens are spread across the landscape, crisscrossed by large bodies of water and wetlands. Five confluences meet at the north forming a main waterway, the Putrajaya Lake, which flows across the city area. Putrajaya is the new Federal Administrative Centre and lastest Federal Territory as of the 1st. of February 2001.

Get in Precincts of Putrajaya
 By plane
The nearest airport is Kuala Lumpur International Airport. A coupon or metered budget taxi to or from KLIA will take 30 minutes and cost around RM60. Alternatively, you can take the KLIA Transit from the airport to Putrajaya station and transfer to a taxi.

 By train
For public transport the fastest choice is the KLIA Transit connecting Kuala Lumpur’s Sentral train station to its airport, which stops halfway in between at Putrajaya. Trains run every 30 minutes, take 20 minutes and the list price is RM 9.50 one-way, but the RM15 Putrajaya return ticket (valid for one month) is better value.
KLIA Ekspres services do not stop at Putrajaya.

 By taxi
Coupon taxis from Kuala Lumpur’s KL Sentral cost a fixed RM35, but otherwise you’ll have to try out your bargaining skills – figure on RM30-50, and expect to pay more at night.

 By bus
Bus service is provided from 6:30am until 10pm to and from Cyberjaya, Putrajaya, Serdang commuter station and Sinar Kota in Kuala Lumpur. The bus fare for one-way is around RM 3.50 and takes about 30 minutes-one hour, depends on the traffic flow. Usually, on non-working days the time the buses take to arrive at Putrajaya will be much faster, but the frequency of the buses will be accordingly reduced.

The new Express network by Rapid KL  links KL Sentral to Putrajaya with only RM 5 for an unlimited daily pass.

Shuttle buses to/from KL are provided by some hotels for guests, such as Shangri-la.

Get around
Public transportation within Putrajaya is woefully inadequate, as distances are long and you need wheels to get around. Occasional Nadiputra buses putter about from the train station at random times in random directions, but your best bet is probably to enquire at KLIA or KL Sentral about organized tours. There are also public two-hour tours at 11 AM and 2 PM, departing from the tour desk at Selera Putra, that charge only a token RM 1 for the bus.

 By taxi
Coupon taxis from the Transit station charge RM8-10 to most points in Putrajaya. Other taxis are limited and it’s best to book by phone at +60-3-5512-2266. Other taxi hotlines include: Putrajaya Cyberjaya Radio Taxi at +60 03 8888 4000, which operates 24hours. The meter starts ticking from RM4, but many cabbies are reluctant to use theirs. Chartering starts from RM30/hour, negotiable downwards.

 By monorail
Construction of the Putrajaya Monorail has been halted until the occupancy of the Core District becomes higher.

Hotels and Resorts in Putrajaya and Cyberjaya area
 
 
There are no budget or midrange options in town, but suffering from acute overcapacity, Putrajaya’s luxury hotels offer some of the best deals on the planet. All the hotels are brand new and near-empty, unless there happens to be a big convention in town.

Splurge

Shangri-La Putrajaya,
Taman Putra Perdana, Presint 1,
tel. +60-3-8887-8888,
Undoubtedly the pick of the pack, centrally located in the Core District and featuring Shangri-La’s renowned service and an Infinity Edge pool looking out over the best bits of Putrajaya. Free shuttle service to/from KL twice on weekdays and thrice on weekends. Also provides shuttles to Cyberjaya and Alamanda, the shopping centre nearby. Advanced booking of shuttle required. Rates US$70 and up, a steal for a place like this. RM353

Shangri-La Cyberview Lodge and Resort,
Persiaran Multimedia, Cyberjaya,
+60 3 8312-7000,
this is a well-regarded resort-style spa hotel in neighboring Cyberjaya. US$100. 

Marriott Putrajaya,
A stupendously huge 500-room hotel with a grandiose marble-columned lobby, out in the middle of nowhere at the rather lacklustre IOI Resort. room rates go as low as US$25 (green fees not included).
 
Palm Garden Hotel, Formerly Renaissance,
also in the IOI Resort, is a slightly more humanely sized hotel and probably a better choice than the Marriott.
 
Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside,
No. 2, Jalan P5/5, Presint 5,
? +60-3-88900000.
Lakeside hotel, right next to the convention centre. Pool, spa, five restaurants. Opening March 2009.
