Description
Malacca, or Melaka as it is said locally, is Malaysia’s oldest town with a fascinating history and a multi-cultural heritage.
The Portuguese, Dutch and British ruled over Malacca’s silk and spice trade, a rich heritage that is evident in the unique mix of architectural styles. The beauty of the town has now been recognised and it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2008.
This tour will take you past the city’s historical buildings including the Stadthuys, St. Paul’s Church and the mighty fortress – Porta de Santiago, built by the Portuguese in 1512. You will also have some time to stroll along Jonker Street, known for its antiques, souvenirs, arts and crafts.
