For a quick tour around the city at a leisurely pace, we recommend for you to hop on the Melaka River Cruise. During the 45-minute ride, you will get to see the best bits of this historical city, offering sights such as the traditional Malay village Kampung Morten and the beautiful murals alongside Jonker Walk.
2. Jonker Walk
It’s definitely the place to go to absorb the city’s heritage, and experience some its great shopping, dining and nightlife offerings. The Jonker Street is lively and lined with museums (such as the Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum), souvenir shops, antique warehouses, and art galleries, together with a number of happening bars and specialty stores.
3. A’Fmosa Resort
Even though the A’Famosa Resort in Alor Gajah might take 45-minute to drive from the Malacca city centre, but it is well worth the trip if you’re looking for a fun family getaway. The resort consists of a sprawling water park, an animal safari and an impressive ‘cowboy town’, featuring spectacular Red Indian shows and fireworks every night, together with on-site accommodations.
4. Botanical Garden
Home to over 300 species of flora and fauna, the Botanical Garden is a perfect spot to enjoy a scenic morning walk, a healthy jog or a bike ride through its pathways. And when you’re done, try visiting the Book Village located right in the heart of the park.
5. Menara Taming Sari
The Menara Taming Sari in Banda Hilir is a gyro tower, offering a 360-degree view of the exciting city. The ride may only be seven minutes long, but you’ll get a glimpse of practically everything the city has to offer; from top tourist hot spots such as St. Paul’s Hill and the Independence Memorial Building to modern shopping sites such as Dataran Pahlawan and Mahkota Parade.
