Melaka is a living museum of the East and the West, boasting fully preserved old buildings and ruins right in her heart. This charming UNESCO World Heritage city located an easy drive from Kuala Lumpur is rich with history, culture, colonial buildings, ancient landmarks and yummy local cuisine.

You'll find the Stadthuys - known to be the oldest-existing Dutch building in the East;  Christ Church, and the iconic Malacca Clock Tower, often surrounded by colorful trishaws that you can hop on for a tour around the city. 

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.
