Top Attraction in Malacca
Malacca is one of the smaller states in Malaysia and it does not have lofty mountains or the best beaches but it more than makes up for this with its rich history and wealth of tourist attractions.
Malacca Heritage Trail
A lengthy walk around the heritage sites in the heart of this historic city. Highlights inclide Christ Church, the Stadthuys, St. Paul's Hill, Malacca Sultanate Palace, Sam Poh Kong Temple, Kampung Kling Mosque and the famous Jonker Walk.
Melaka Museums
Melaka is crammed full of museums, most of them in close walking distance of each other. Favourites inclide The Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum, Maritime Museum, Islamic Museum, The Stamp Museum and Governoor's House.
Dutch Fort
The Dutch built a fort on the northern edge of Melaka state on a headland with views overlooking the Straits of Malacca and The River Linggi. Some of the original walls still stand.
Melaka River Cruise
A 45minutes, 9km river cruise down the historic Melaka River opens up vistas of the city that cannot be seen from the road. A comfortable and inexpensive way to see the sights.
Melaka Straits Mosque
Masjid Selat Melaka is a modern mosque in a hybrid Arab/Malay style on a reclaimed island (Pulau Melaka) close to the town centre. At high tide the mosque appears to be floating above the sea and it has been nicknamed the Floating Mosque.
