A detailed guide to a family day trip to Malacca!

Malacca, a famous place in geography textbooks, is not that far away! You can take a 3-day trip to Kuala Lumpur and Malacca. All the attractions are within 2 km. Follow my guide and you won't get tired of taking your kids there. . 📍Transportation: [One] Bus: 2 hours, about RM 20 for a one-way trip. Download Redbus, select Malaysia in the settings, and buy tickets online with Visa/Mastercard. Then take a taxi or subway to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) in Kuala Lumpur. You can also buy tickets on site with cash, but you may have to wait in line. [Two] Chartered car: 1 hour and 40 minutes. We chartered a 10-seat car for 7 people, which cost RM 1,000. It's a bit expensive, but convenient. The car picks you up and drops you off at the hotel, and the kids can sleep in the car. . 🥕Travel route: Almost all the attractions in Malacca are around the Dutch Square. Follow my route and you won't have to wait in line or take photos with a lot of people. 📍Dutch Square → Jonker Street → Malacca River → A Famosa → Sultanate Palace → St. Paul's Church → Malacca Straits Mosque . [One] Take photos at Dutch Square. The best place to take photos is on the second floor. [Two] Have lunch at Jonker Street opposite the church. Nyonya Kitchen is a Peranakan restaurant popular with locals. You don't have to wait in line. The owner speaks good Chinese. The price is a bit expensive, but the food is made with care. [Three] After leaving Jonker Street, you can buy tickets for a Malacca River cruise at the bridge. [Four] After the cruise, take a flower car to A Famosa/Sultanate Palace for RM 15 at the church gate. [Five] After visiting A Famosa, climb the stone steps to St. Paul's Church and enjoy a panoramic view of Malacca. [Six] Go down the mountain and take a taxi to Malacca Straits Mosque. If you go there on Friday, avoid 15:30–17:30, as local people will not allow you to visit during the prayer. From February 1, you will have to pay RM 5 if you don't wear a long robe. Walk about 100 meters to the left of the mosque and you will find an iron gate. Pay RM 5 to enter and you will find a good place to take photos. You will also get a free drink. . 🍊Food recommendations: If you have time, you can try the food in Malacca. These restaurants were recommended by local drivers: [One] Peranakan cuisine: Samfu Restaurant, Atlantic, 486 Baba Low [Two] Seafood restaurant: Hock Chin, The Bella Donna [Three] Coffee: Sin See Tai Baba Kaya . ‼️By the way, I recommend a super nice Malaysian buffet restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. If you return early, you can go there. It costs only RM 35 per person. You can try a lot of authentic Malaysian food. The restaurant is called Restoran Rebung Chef Ismail. Go to the parking lot and take the elevator to the 5th floor. The restaurant is right outside the elevator. . ♥️Finally, I suggest you wear white clothes, which look good in photos. Kids can wear orange clothes, which match the style of Malacca. Girls who love beauty can rent a Peranakan dress for RM 40 to take photos.
