From Jonker Street to the mosque sunset, conquer Malacca!

#SoutheastAsiaGuide

Is one day in Malacca enough?
No, one day is tight🔥
I brought you a small but full Malacca travelogue!

📍UNESCO World Heritage City
📍History, night view, night market, everything
📍2 hours by car from Kuala Lumpur


🌉 1️⃣ Dutch Square
📍Jalan Gereja, Bandar Hilir
Landmark of Malacca! The combination of red buildings and red trishaws is so pretty
Christ Church, Star Dice, and Clock Tower all in one place


🏰 2️⃣ St. Paul's Hill & St. Paul's Church
📍Jalan Kota
On a hill with a panoramic view of downtown Malacca
16th century Portuguese ruins still intact
Perfect for taking pictures while watching the sunset between the collapsed churches


🌉 3️⃣ Melaka River Cruise
📍Taman Rempah Jetty
A 30~45 minute cruise along the river
It's nice during the day, but it's really special when the sunset and lights come on
Graffiti-filled buildings, charming riverside


🛍 4️⃣ Jonker Street Night Market
📍Jalan Hang Jebat (Open Friday~Sunday evenings)
The real charm of Malacca is here! From local snacks to crafts, retro dolls, and fresh fruit drinks
It gets really crowded at night, so I recommend going early!


🌊5️⃣ Masjid Selat Melaka
📍Pulau Melaka
A mosque floating on the sea
If you go around sunset, the mosque floats in the pink sky
Photogenic place📸


💡 Malacca travel tips
🚗 2 hours by car from Kuala Lumpur (bus/taxi available)
👜 It's hot during the day, so bring an umbrella
🕯 Jonker Street is only open on Friday and Sunday evenings
🏨 I recommend accommodations near Riverview or Jonker



Even in the heat and on a short schedule,
Malacca was 100% satisfying in itself
The perfect city for a quick day trip✨
