Malacca is the unofficial historical capital of Malaysia, serving as a link between east and west for over 500 years.

Today, Malacca is a beautiful city that's rich with heritage buildings, ancient landmarks and colonial structures. You can still see the imprints of British, Dutch and Portuguese forces left behind in forts, museums, churches and towers. Many people are impressed with Malacca’s laidback atmosphere and lost-in-time feel. Life goes by at a leisurely pace with independent restaurants, cafes occupying Chinese shopfronts, and traditional Malay villages. Jalan Hang Jebat, or Jonker Walk, is a complete delight to walk through, as centuries-old shop-houses still stand proudly, selling anything from attractive antiques to one-of-a-kind local produce.
