Cultural and informative
4*
The national mosque has very impressive architecture and cultural significance. There were a number of people inside the mosque who were happy to answer any questions about the mosque or the Muslim faith which was educative and also nice to speak to people who are passionate about Malaysia and Islam.
They also provide free gowns for visitors to use if you aren't appropriately dressed which was great, so you don't need to wear long clothes all day in the heat! (Shorts, short skirts, bare shoulders and tight clothing are not allowed in the mosque). They also have places to store your shoes outside the mosque.
It is free to visit, but there are only certain hours during the day which are open to visitors. I believe it is open 9-12pm and 3-4pm but it would be best to check online before you go as it may differ depending on weekdays/holidays etc.
The mosque is close to tourist attractions such as the butterfly park, Islamic art museum and planetarium so it's easy to visit if those places are on your itinerary too.
Overall, I would recommend visiting the mosque as it is very impressive and it is a nice way to learn a bit more about Muslim culture in Malaysia.
