First time in Malacca? Just copy this one-day itinerary!

#malaccatrip I’ve absolutely fallen in love with this colorful, tropical-style little city. Wandering aimlessly through its charming streets, snapping photos, tasting local delicacies, sitting by the river and feeling the sea breeze—it’s all so relaxing. ⭐️ Malacca One-Day Itinerary: Dutch Square ➡️ A Famosa (St. John’s Fort) ➡️ St. Paul’s Church ➡️ Sultan’s Palace ➡️ Taming Sari Tower ➡️ Straits Mosque ➡️ Jonker Street ➡️ Baba Nyonya Museum ➡️ Melaka River Cruise ✅ Dutch Square Known for its iconic red buildings and colonial charm, this area is super photogenic! Several museums nearby also give great insight into the local history. ✅ A Famosa (St. John’s Fort) Also known as “The Gate Without a Wall,” climb up to St. Paul’s Church for a fantastic panoramic view of Malacca and a peek into colonial history from over 150 years ago. ✅ Sultan’s Palace Now a cultural museum showcasing the traditional daily life of Malaccan royalty. ✅ Taming Sari Tower A cool rotating observation tower that lifts you high above the city for a 360° view. ✅ Jonker Street A vibrant street full of Peranakan-style architecture, delicious street food, old local shops, souvenirs, handmade crafts, and lots of cute cafés. Perfect for chilling and shopping. ✅ Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum Learn about the unique Peranakan culture. The building itself and the exhibits inside are both stunning. ✅ Melaka River Cruise This scenic river ride is one of the highlights of Malacca—colorful riverside houses, charming bridges, and murals all along the way. ✅ Straits Mosque (Masjid Selat) Come at sunset on a clear day for absolutely breathtaking views. To enter, long pants are required—there are rental coverings available at the entrance.
