Proud of its perfect location, it welcomes you to the city’s rich culture, historical landmarks, and major attractions that will give you an experience that is truly Melaka.

A'Famosa

One of the most photographed subjects in the world, A’Famosa is considered as the Hallmark of Malacca. Built in 1511 as a fortress by the Portugese, it sustained severe structural damage it got during the Dutch invasion.

Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum

Guided tours: 10am-12.30pm and 2pm4pm

The Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum is formerly the ancestral home of three generations of a Straits-born Chinese Baba family and is converted into a spectacular museum that keeps and preserves the unique legacy the Babas. The combination of Chinese and Malay culture is inherent in the family as a result of marriages between early Chinese settlers and local Malays. Over the years, this distinct culture also known as the Baba Nyonya or Peranakan culture has emerged.

Stadthuys Town Hall

Built by the Dutch in 1650, The Stadthuys Town Hall is now a home to the Malacca Ethnographical and Historical Museum, that exhibits customs and traditions of Malaccans. It takes you through the rich history and culture of this city.
