Melaka (Malacca), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Malaysia’s most historically rich states—a living museum shaped by centuries of Portuguese, Dutch, British, and Malay influences. Strategically located on the Straits of Malacca, the state played a vital role in global trade and colonial conquests, leaving behind a remarkable cultural tapestry.
The capital, Melaka City, is a treasure trove of historical sites and vibrant streets. Iconic landmarks include A Famosa fortress, the Stadthuys (Dutch Square), Christ Church, and St. Paul’s Hill. The city’s Jonker Street is famous for antique shops, heritage shophouses, night markets, and authentic Peranakan (Baba-Nyonya) cuisine like chicken rice balls, asam pedas, and nyonya laksa.
