EXPLORE MELACCA

DESCRIPTION

Malacca is the unofficial historical capital of Malaysia, serving as a link between east and west for over 500 years. It was here that colonial forces first made contact with Malaysia, which eventually shaped the country into its current economic and political system. Today, Malacca is a beautiful city that's rich with heritage buildings, ancient landmarks and colonial structures.

RED SQUARE

Red Square aka Dutch Square is full of red painted brick buildings reflecting the colonial history of Melaka. There are many attractions here including churches, Queen Victoria's Fountain, Tan Beng Swee Clock Tower, and the old Fortress.

MELAKA RIVER CRUISE

The Melaka River Cruise is one of the main tourism attractions of Melaka. The city of Melaka is one of Malaysia’s top tourist destinations because of its heritage from the 15th Century. The Melaka River Cruise is the only river journey in South East Asia that takes you back through these 600 years of history. Melaka is also known by the historic name of Malacca

UPSIDE DOWN HOUSE

Though relatively small in size, there's a lot of room for creative photographs at the Upside Down House, a converted shophouse. Wander from room to room, snapping gravity-defying photos in the kitchen, bedroom, and more spaces. Visit independently from Melaka, as part of a Melaka city tour, or as a requested stop on a private tour. Consider pairing Upside Down House Melaka with Illusion 3D Art Museum Melaka for maximum picture fun.
