[Malacca] Photogenic everywhere, strolling around the World Heritage Site

Located in southern Malaysia, Melaka is a popular tourist destination designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Since the 15th century, the city has been ruled by major powers such as Portugal, the Netherlands, and Britain, leaving behind a unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures. I enjoyed a leisurely stroll around the city on foot, fully experiencing the exotic atmosphere.

Must-visit spots on your walk include:

Dutch Square
A photo spot lined with bright red buildings. Home to the Stadthuys and the Clock Tower, this is the heart of Melaka tourism. Don't miss the glittering rickshaws!


Ruins of St. Paul's Church
From the remains of the church on a hill, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city and the sea. Sunset is especially recommended.



Jonker Street
A popular street lined with general stores, antique shops, and cafes. A night market is held on weekends, offering a chance to sample local delicacies.

・Malacca Riverwalk
Lined with wall art and cafes, the riverside is a relaxing spot worth stopping by between strolls. The area is lit up at night, creating a different atmosphere than during the day.

How to Enjoy a City Walk

・Exploring History + Café Hopping
After touring the city's attractions, take a break at a riverside café. Enjoying an iced coffee or dessert while feeling the cool breeze is a unique experience in Malacca.

・Finding Photo Spots
Everywhere in Malacca is colorful. The vibrant buildings and wall art are photogenic, making it a fun city to walk and take photos.

Walking around Malacca is a luxurious way to enjoy both the history of its World Heritage Site and the exotic cityscape.

Since you can walk around the main attractions in a day, it's also recommended as a day trip from Kuala Lumpur.
