Melaka
(Malacca) Featured Hotels
Melaka is the oldest capital
city in the state of Malaysia and it is the center of Malaccan history
as well. There are many preserved landmarks that represent the essence
of Malaccan history right from the occupation of Dutch, Portuguese, British
and Japanese. Today, Melaka has been established as one of the UNESCO world
heritage sites and shouldn't be missed when visiting Malaysia.
| Most of the interesting
travel spots in Melaka are concentrated in the center of the city. The
famous Jonker Walk or Jalan Hang Jebat is known for its extensive antique
pieces and great food options. New cafes and specialty stores nicely dotted
the area which only added charm to this amazing lane. Peranakan architecture
is very apparent in Jonker Walk.
Melaka tourism is largely
dependent on its cultural heritage hence they preserve it as much as they
can. Here, you can find many remarkable museums especially in Bandar Hilir
area. A Famosa Fort and St. Paul Hill can also be found in this area. These
remnants dated as far as 500 years ago and very captivating to see.
Melaka Sultanate Palace museum
is situated at the foot of St. Paul's Hill. Although this is not the original
palace, it is now home to Malacca Cultural artifacts. Climbing up the hill
of St. Paul, you will find ruins of St. Paul's Church, another heritage
structure of Melaka. |

oldest existing European architectural remains in Asia. It was once an
enormous and powerful structure and only the tiny gate survived overtime.

that Melaka would become a port linking Portugal and China.
Stadthuys on the other hand,
is the big red building that stood next to the stairway of St. Paul's church.

landmark in Melaka, Malaysia. Today, it is home to two museums, the Historic
Museum and the Ethnography Museum where travelers can find large collection
of traditional bridal costumes and Malacca's relics. |

traders in 18th century and it features the unique architectural influence
of Sumatra while the Cheng Hoon Teng temple is believed to be the oldest
Chinese temple in Malaysia. It is a Buddhist temple richly decorated with
mythological figures and breathtaking wood carvings and furnishings.
Melaka also offers sandy
beaches off shores, the two main islands to visit are Pulau Besar which
is a beach haven and Pulau Upeh, a nature lover's paradise. Pulau Upeh
