Some Places of Interest
| The Stadthuys | Built as the official residence for the Dutch governors and officers. Today it houses an interesting Historical and Ethnography Museum. A must visit for first time visitor to Malacca. |
| A Formosa | A fort built by the Portuguese in 1511 to protect the city from invaders. Just next to the Stadhuys. |
| St. Paul's Church | Built as a small chapel by a Portuguese captain, Duarto Coelho in 1521. The Dutch used it to bury their noble dead. |
| Christ Church | The distinctive red Dutch architectural ingenuity still stands as it has always been since 1753. |
| History And Ethnography Museum | After visiting this museum, I get to know more about Malacca's history. Worth the RM2.00 entrance fee. |
| Jonker Street | A very interest place to explore. A living proof of Malacca's rich baba-nyonya heritage. Also famous for its antique shops. |
| Melaka Sultanate Palace | This is the reconstruction of original palace of former Malay rulers, at the foot of St Paul's Hill. It measures 74 metres wide, 18 metres deep and 20 metres high. A truly remarkable architectural beauty. |
| Jalan Bendahara | A mixture of East and West. The famous Tan Kim Hock Product Centre of Malacca is found along here. |
| A'Formosa Water World | A 25 minutes drive from Malacca, it is located at Alor Gajah. A water theme park, quite similar to Sunway Lagoon of KL. |
| Pulau Besar | If you like a little quietness and peace, there is a beach resort in this small island, about 10 km south of Malacca town. |
| Mahkota Parade | A one-stop shopping in air-conditioned comfort. About 15 minutes walk from the Stadthuys. |
Note: These are places that I have visited in my recent and past trips to Malacca.
