Make your way to the Malacca River which runs through the city and this is the reason why she was given the title 'Venice Of The East' back in the olden days. Today, it is lined with many little shops, cafes, restaurants and buildings splashed with striking graffiti and street arts . To see this scenic river from a different perspective, take a river cruise!
Last but no least, a birdview of Straits of Malacca from the sky.
