A quaint town with an abundance of breath-taking sights and wealthy culture, Malacca is simple to walk or trishaw around to discover the many areas that make it special. As Malaysia’s unofficial historic capital, the Baba-Nyonya or Peranakan culture is Malacca’s most prominent contribution to the Malaysian cultural landscape. Possessing an eclectic blend of customs, traditions, food and lifestyle, the Peranakan still thrives in Malacca with a mix of old and new with historical buildings standing side by side with ultra-modern shopping centres. From the lush greenery of Ayer Keroh to the metropolitan landscape of Malacca City, we discovered the best places in Malacca that no visitor should leave out on their journey route.
1. A’Famosa Fort Jalan Kota
The Portuguese constructed this historic fort in 1511 after defeating the Sultanate of Malacca. It went to the Dutch in 1641 and later to the British in the early 19th century. In 1806 the fort was to be demolished, but Singapore’s founder, Sir Stamford Raffles, spared it. The fort is only a five-minute trek from the church of Christ. It’s a very quiet place away from Malacca city’s busy-ness. The remains are the Porta de Santiago gate house that is component of the fort of A’Famosa, which you can see and visit today. The fort’s remains are well maintained, and white stone sculptures are still readable, a replica being the canon positioned in front of the door. Despite its era, the Portuguese, Netherlands architecture still looks well preserved. Wooden walkways and bridges are thoroughly laid out so that you can enjoy your walk in the historic ruins securely.

3. Christ Church Jalan Kota
When they took ownership of the nation, this church was constructed by Dutch. Malacca’s most defining structure is noteworthy for its distinctive architecture and history. A brick-red construction image with a enormous white cross is known all over the globe. The church is on Church Street, close to the Chinatown middle of Malacca. Christ Church is located across the Jonker Street bridge and is nearly the most common sight in the Stadhuys region. There are two museums near Church, so you’ll visit three locations in a short time.
4. The Stadthuys Jalan Kota Melaka
The Stadthuys is thought to be the oldest surviving Dutch building in the East, a huge bright terracotta-red riverfront building that was once the official residence of Dutch governors and policemen. Built on the ruins of a Portuguese fort between 1641 and 1660, the Stadthuys of Malacca has been the focal point of several successive European governments for more than 300 years, from its completion to 1980.
5. St. Paul’s Church Jalan Kota, Bukit St. Paul (St. Paul’s Hill)
St Paul’s Church is a famous destiny for tourists among individuals interested in this country’s history and wealthy culture. The ancient church ruins are very popular among Malaysian tourists and indigenous people. Built in 1521, this historic church is located at the top of St. Paul’s Hill. This church is part of the Museum Complex of Malacca right now. A St. Francis Xavier marble sculpture (constructed in 1953) in the complex has only one arm, and that’s why. Stories say that the Vatican requested the correct arm (the one Francis used to bless his converts) from the body when the best-known missionary was to be canonized in 1614. So they cut it off, and even after his death, blood emerged. They say a big tree fell on his correct arm when the statue was erected.
6. Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock
Established in 1896, this beautiful living museum was once the family home for the Baba Chan family. This heritage building is a distinctive mix of Eastern and Western cultures and shows Peranakan’s lifestyle at the end of the 19th century. The initial design is affected by both European and Eastern architecture traditions and history.
