seremban malaysia tourism

Welcome to my list of Top Seremban Attractions.

Seremban is the capital of Negeri Sembilan state. The metropolitan area has a population of over 420,000 but its centre retains the feel of a small provincial town. It is not famed for its tourist attractions and most of the big tour companies do not even cover the city. However that does not mean there is nothing to see or no things to do here. Every time I revisit Seremban I discover some new attraction to add to my list. I have marked all the sites on this map:

Map of Top Seremban Attractions

Many of these top Seremban attractions can be covered on foot. The historic heart of the town comprises a few blocks of shophouses arranged in a grid pattern together with some grand colonial and modern architecture arranged around a scenic lake garden. To see the more outlying attractions you would need a car or taxi.

Here is a short video from the Malaysia in a Minute series which covers many of the places listed here: 

List of Top Seremban Attractions - What to See

seremban malaysia tourism

Seremban Railway Station

The quaint old railway station was built in 1924 and has a terracotta tiled roof and an open air booking area.  It is topped with a clock tower with an Islamic style cupola.  You might see a couple of old fashioned baggage trolleys outside the porters' area, the sort of trolley that has long disappeared from British railway stations.

seremban malaysia tourism

Sri Bala Thandayuthapani Hindu Temple

Nearby on Jalan Yam Tuan you will find the beautiful and immaculately tended Sri Bala Thandayuthapani Hindu Temple. This temple was built by a businessman of Sri Lankan origin in 1895. Inside is a splendid, intricately decorated golden chariot made from copper plated teak, topped with 2.5 kg of gold. Ask permission and remove shoes before entering. 

seremban malaysia tourism

Lake Gardens

Facing the temple are the Lake Gardens, Seremban’s well-groomed park with mature trees, jogging paths, gazebos, manicured lawns and a couple of lakes, one of which has a floating stage for cultural performances. An orchid garden is a recent addition to the Lake Gardens.

seremban malaysia tourism

State Mosque

The modern State Mosque, which was completed in 1967, overlooks the Lake Gardens. The mosque has nine pillars representing the 9 districts making up the State of Negeri Sembilan (which literally translates as 'nine states'). 

seremban malaysia tourism

Kompleks Kraf Negeri Sembilan (Handicraft Centre)

This crafts complex is housed in a stately building, built in 1912, which was once the home of Captain Murray, the British Resident to Negeri Sembilan. A very nice home it must have been too! It has been well preserved and converted into a showcase of Malaysian handicrafts, particularly bamboo products, rattan and pandan leaf weaving, ceramics, glassware and batik clothing. A great place to pick up a souvenir or gift. Open daily 9am - 6pm.

seremban malaysia tourism

State Library

A couple of minutes up the road sits the even grander looking State Library building. Originally serving as the office of the State Secretary, this colonial masterpiece was also built in 1912 and designed by A.B.Hubback, the architect responsible for many of Kuala Lumpur's famous landmarks. The plaque outside said that the library contains more than a million books and was once known as the Sir Henry Gurney Library. During my visit however the building was completely empty of books so perhaps it is being earmarked for another purpose.

seremban malaysia tourism

Wisma Negeri

Across the street is the current State Secretariat (Wisma Negeri) building finished in 1987. Its distinctive design includes a roofline suggesting the shape of buffalo horns, a style originating from Sumatra, Indonesia, from where many of Negeri Sembilan's influences, customs and people are descended. 

seremban malaysia tourism

Church of the Visitation

This Catholic church founded by French missionaries. In the mid 1800s, French priests based in Kuala Lumpur would visit their flock in Malacca once every two months to receive confession. The priests used to break the journey, which was by bullock cart, in Seremban where they would perform services in an attap hut. These regular visitations may account for the Church's name. Later a proper church was built and the current building dates from 1899 with newer additions in 1935. 

seremban malaysia tourism

Wesley Methodist Church

Another notable Christian place of worship is the Wesley Methodist Church. This was founded in 1915 to cater to the waves of Chinese migrants (some of whom were Christians) who flooded into the area following the discovery of tin ore in 1870. The Anglo-Chinese School (SMK Methodist) was founded about the same time and shares the same compound with the church.

seremban malaysia tourism

The historic core of Seremban has a few narrow lanes full of shophouses to explore. You might want to take a break in one of the many restaurants, perhaps browse in an antique shop, sniff the powerful aroma of a traditional Chinese medicine shop, or take a peek inside one of the many Chinese temples in this area. Seremban is famous for its food. Specialities include Pak Cham Kai (steamed chicken), chicken porridge, Seremban beef noodles and Siew Pau (baked dumplings).

seremban malaysia tourism

Masjid Jamek

This pretty red mosque has a pagoda shaped minaret and a central tower in the Malaccan style instead of a dome. The inscription above the entrance to the tower dates the construction to 1924.

seremban malaysia tourism

State Museum & Cultural Complex

The museum has a modest collection of old artefacts, photos, ceramics and a display of Negeri Sembilan postage stamps. In the grounds outside are two fine Minangkabau traditional wooden houses. Dating from the late 19th century, one of the houses was built without using a single nail and includes detailed carvings including verses from the Holy Quran. Minangkabau culture originates from near Padang, Sumatra and apart from their distinctive architecture they are famous for being a matrilineal society with inheritance being passed down through the female line.

seremban malaysia tourism

Centipede Temple

This is a new addition to my list of Top Seremban Attractions. This interesting Chinese temple, known more formally as Then Sze Khoon, is located on a hill top on the northern edge of town. You can find out about the legend of the centipede and more details about the temple here .

seremban malaysia tourism

Virgin’s Temple

On a hilltop overlooking Seremban is a small Hindu temple called the Arulmighu Maha Sapthakanniga Devi Temple, also known as the Virgin's Temple. Various mystical tales are linked to this place. This is one of the top Seremban attractions. You can read more on my blog.

Galeri Diraja Tuanku Ja’afar

This brand new museum contains exhibits relating to Tuanku Ja’afar’s 42 year reign as Yang-di-Pertaun Besar Negeri Sembilan. It is located in the Lake Gardens area. Full details here .

seremban malaysia tourism

Chettiar Temple

On Jalan Temiang is a Chettiar Temple called Sri Selva Vinayagar Temple which began construction in 1922. 

seremban malaysia tourism

Hakka Association Building

Also on Jalan Temiang, I noticed this handsome building dated 1928 with a sign outside saying Gabungan Persatuan Hakka Negeri Sembilan. 

seremban malaysia tourism

Jalan Keliling Public Park

This park is located close to the main Lake Gardens in Seremban. It includes a Bicycle Park (Laman Basikal) for children to practice cycling skills under simulated road conditions (appears to be closed for renovation), a lake, picnic spots and a children’s playground.

seremban malaysia tourism

Kompleks Al-Saadah

Despite its Chinese temple appearance, this complex, located on Jalan Mufti Ahmad, is an Islamic centre, providing religious teaching and facilities  for Negeri Sembilan's Chinese Muslim community, including recent converts. I have included it on this Top Seremban Attractions list because of its striking architecture but it is not open to the general public without permission.

seremban malaysia tourism

Seremban Gurkha Cemetery

The last of my Top Seremban Attractions is this small cemetery on Jalan Tungku Kurshiah, containing the remains of Gurkha soldiers killed during the Malayan Emergency and the graves of family members. Across the street is Seremban Christian Cemetery where some British military graves from the Emergency period can be found.

Hope you enjoy discovering these Top Seremban Attractions as much as I have.

Top 10 Attractions in Seremban (2024)

featured seremban

Situated approximately 60 kilometres south of Kuala Lumpur, Seremban is the city and the capital of Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Seremban is famous for its unique cuisine, most notably, “Siew Pau”, a bun with a flaky buttery crust filled with meat fillings, typically pork or chicken. Now only that, as one of the most vibrant cities in Malaysia, it has plenty to offer everyone and here are some of the best attractions in Seremban.

During the tour, you can watch the ostrich race, take pictures with them, and test the strength of ostrich eggs by standing on them.

In this modern colonial architectural style building, you will find displays of his contribution as the Agong, life history, royal fashion and more. Aside from the gallery, there is also a garden with one of the oldest rubber trees and a hall space that can be rented for various events here, one of the must-visit attractions in Seremban.

3. Negeri Sembilan State Museum (Muzium Negeri Sembilan)

Negeri Sembilan State Museum (Muzium Negeri Sembilan)

Negeri Sembilan State Museum is a culture, arts, and history museum located in the city centre. The design of the building, inspired by Minangkabau architecture, can be traced back to the Minangkabau community, which settled in Negeri Sembilan in the fifteenth century under the protection of the Malacca Sultanate. This museum is a fantastic place for art lovers to visit and learn more about the community.

The replicas, artefacts, pictures, and detailed descriptions of this Seremban attraction will provide you with a wealth of information about the state’s culture. Its culture is well known for its matrilineality, or “Adat Perpatih”, which is still practised in most parts of the state.

4. Then Sze Koon Temple (Centipede Temple)

Then Sze Koon Temple (Centipede Temple)

The Then Sze Koon Temple, widely known as the Centipede Temple, honours many Taoist and Buddhist deities, including the statue of Guanyin and the money frog. It is the highest Taoist temple in Negeri Sembilan, located at the top of Wu Gong Hill. Due to this, older people may find taking the stairs to this temple quite challenging, but a breathtaking view of the entire Seremban awaits atop the temple.

According to a legend, God transformed a man into a rocking ship that could never sail and dumped him on Wu Gong Hill. His mother, believed to be reincarnated as a centipede, went, and lived beside the rock, which led to the massive stone centipede and temple’s name. If you manage to find a centipede in the temple compound, it is said that you will be blessed with good luck and wealth.

Aside from religious activities and the town’s beautiful scenery, children can also feed the fish, tortoises, and rabbits in the temple.

5. Seremban Lake Park (Taman Tasik Seremban)

Seremban Lake Park (Taman Tasik Seremban)

Taman Tasik Seremban is a recreational park located along Jalan Taman Bunga. As one of the most beautiful attractions in Seremban, this park is famous for its natural scenery, artificial lake, and grassy picnic spots. The municipality recently introduced water activities such as kayaking and paddleboat rides.

On Sunday mornings, you can see the local community of Seremban walking, running, and practising tai chi and “Falun Gong”. This beautifully landscaped park is also a popular photographic location, suitable for anyone looking to take nice pictures.

6. Sri Sendayan Mosque (Masjid Sri Sendayan)

Sri Sendayan Mosque (Masjid Sri Sendayan)

Sri Sendayan Mosque, one of the top attractions in Seremban, is a beautiful mosque that resembles the Taj Mahal and Nabawi Mosque with a touch of Ottoman architecture. According to Zailan Yusop, the architect of the Sri Sendayan Mosque, he got the inspiration for the design after he visited Dubai and Turkey. Some of the intricate features of the Sri Sendayan Mosque include khat calligraphy done by the Turkish Master of Calligraphy and Hasan Çelebiin in its architecture, which gives a serene facade.

Photographers will never miss the opportunity to photograph this massive and magnificent mosque against the backdrop of the sunset. Non-Muslims are also welcome to enter the mosque, except for the prayer area, provided they follow the dress code.

7. Mount Angsi (Gunung Angsi)

Mount Angsi (Gunung Angsi)

For those who enjoy the outdoors and hiking, Mount Angsi is one of the best attractions in Seremban for hikers and the surrounding area, ranked as the second most popular hiking trail in Negeri Sembilan. Due to the steep sections, the path’s first and a half kilometre is quite tricky. It will take around an hour and a half to climb the mountain.

If you are tired halfway through the hike, take a break at one of the trail’s small gazebos or benches. At the end of our challenging climb, you will be rewarded with a stunning view of Seremban and its surrounding area.

8. Kepayang Hill Temple Kanni Kovil

Kepayang Hill Temple Kanni Kovil

Kepayang Hill Temple is a hundred-year-old Hindu shrine dedicated to seven virgin deities: Biramme, Mageswary, Gaumaree, Varaagi, Vyshnavi, Magenthari, and Chamundi.

On top of that, with a 100-acre park that is surrounded by lush forests, and has its own man-made lake, mini zoo, horse barn and more, it is no wonder why this is one of the more popular attractions in Negeri Sembilan.

"Eden for Foodies & Shopaholics"

Seremban tourism.

Seremban, formerly called Sening Ujong, is the capital city of Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. It initially thrived as a business center and gained city status earlier in 2020. Seremban is known for Chinese shophouses, colonial buildings, lake gardens and beef noodles. It if often a detour for tourists travelling between Kuala Lumpur and Melaka, or heading towards Port Dickson. If we had to sum up Seremban for you, we would say it is the Eden for foodies and shopaholics! 

Despite it being a small town with a population barely close to a million, there isn't a dearth of touristy destinations and landmarks to excavate. A trek to Gunung Angsi (the highest peak of the Negeri) is a must. For lotus eaters, hitting up the  Seremban Lake Garden to beat the commercial chaos would be a good idea.  Also a hub for architectural aficionados, Seremban is embellished with Minangkabau culture which is basically roofs resembling buffalo horns. To witness the best of it, a tour of the Seremban Culture Complex is recommended. The city retains another Minangkabau customary culture by following the age-old tradition of Adat Perpatih. According to it, women are given an elevated status in the social hierarchy as compared to men.  Seremban takes retail therapy seriously. The small town has a fair share of shopping malls some of which are open 24/7. They are as spacious and spread out like airports, have a plethora of retail outlets as well as entertainment units. Lined up with eateries, you can't help but gorge on the variety of Malaysian cuisines. Food in Seremban is a cocktail of flavours and textures. Malay, Chinese and Indian food dominate the menus here. From gourmet delights to street food smackings, you might want to try out everything here. Seafood is a massive hit in Seremban, so is Siew Pau (buns). Its breezy commute options include a half hour drive to and from Kuala Lumpur airport or the federal route that connects most of Malaysian towns to Seremban. A trip to Seremban is sure to be etched in your memory.
