Malacca Attractions

Malacca, located along the Straits of Malacca, is a historic port city once hailed as the “Venice of the East.” Walking through Malacca, it is easy to see how the city’s architecture reflects the influences of Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonial periods, resulting in a unique blend of styles. Strolling through the streets of the city center feels like stepping into a time tunnel, immersing visitors in the rich atmosphere of the old town. In addition, the Peranakan (Baba-Nyonya) culture, which blends Chinese and Malay traditions, is a defining feature of Malacca, and its exquisite Peranakan cuisine remains one of the city’s most iconic traditional culinary treasures.
