Malacca

With ancient landmarks and colonial structures left by the Portuguese, Dutch, and British from the 15th century, it’s no wonder why Malacca is known as the historical state of Malaysia. Immerse yourself in the many cultural museums to learn about the city’s rich heritage and experience the unique Baba-Nyonya (Peranakan) cuisine, a fusion of Chinese and Malay cooking. Malacca just has so much to offer—hop on a river cruise down the Malacca River for a scenic view of the city and stroll through the famous Jonker Street for tasty street food, antique shops, and a bustling night market selling all sorts of trinkets. Want more excitement? A little drive out of Malacca City will bring you to A’Famosa Resort, which has a Safari Wonderland full of enchanting animals and the largest water theme park in Malaysia.
