History is everywhere in Melaka.
Nowhere else in Malaysia can you find a city where
history actually lives.
At first you may find it difficult to visualize life behind this 600-years-old city. But when you walk through the narrow streets, visit old ancient ruins and epitaphs, you will soon find traces of its rich Portuguese, Dutch and British colonial past.
Melaka was once upon a time a rich port controlling the spice trade and a home to thousands of Malays, Sumatrans, Javanese, Chinese and Indians who hailed from various religious and cultural backgrounds. Interracial marriages over the years have given birth to exotic cultures found in Melaka. A look into Melaka's treasure trove of cultures and interesting sights can truly be a memorable experience. A population so diverse - this is Melaka.
Take a walk through history by visiting the Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum, the Melaka Sultanate Palace, the A'Famosa Portuguese Fortress built in the 16th. century, the Dutch Stadthuys, the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, Bukit China where an enchanting tale lies, the Christ Church and other glorious relics from the past.
Savour Portuguese and Nyonya cuisine and shop for handicrafts and antiques along Jonker Street.
