Malacca is a little pearl located just before the Strait of Malacca. It has been under occupation ever since 1509, first by Portugese settlers and then later by Dutch, French and British. Every occupant ended up contributing a little bit into what Malacca is known for today – a colourful and vibrant place, full of cultural heritage that has even been recognized by UNESCO in 2003.
Its colonial architecture is what put the label on this former fishing village. The Dutch Square or the Christ Church are the centers of attention of many visiting tourists from all over the world. Don’t miss out on a walk along the Malacca River just as soon as the sun begins to set!
