Area Information

Melaka town is small and is easy to navigate by foot, bicycle or trishaw. The most interesting parts are near the river and along the original waterfront. Here, particularly around the Dutch built town hall, you will find a number of churches and the Cultural Museum. The other side of the river bank is the Chinatown where other but more interesting architectural landmarks are worth visiting. Boat trips down the river make it possible to view the lifestyles of the people in the area and see more historic architecture en-route.
