    It is another bazaar that will happens on only Friday Saturday and Sunday. If you are going there first time, you will probably find it interesting and unique. Most of the stalls are selling the same items.

    Definitely worth a visit to understand the cultural heritage of Malacca. Either ask for a guide or a booklet provided to explain when going around the home. Fairly steep stairs to the first floor. Beautiful crafted features of the home, artefacts, clothing, old photos etc.
    There is a souvenir shop at the end.

    There was a refreshing breeze.
    Look for the big sea lizards swimming and lounging about.
    You can take a relaxing river cruise.
    Cute restaurants and sights.

    Like one of the other reviewers, we were lucky to have Eddie as our tour guide - a tour arranged in advance by Trailfinders. He was immensely knowledgeable, well known in his locale, humorous and conscious of the fact that the day was hot and humid and we had only arrived the day before. The tour took in Dutch Square, with the statue to Queen Victoria in the centre. We visited Christ church and the ruins of St Paul's from which there are fantastic views of the city with the Straits in the distance.

    Stairs were very steep. The view from the top of the hill was very beautiful. Souvenirs were quite overpriced and ‘meh’. The ‘church’ was just a ruin with multiple stone slabs. Overall, a very chill place to visit.

    The mosque was built on the water and seemed to be a popular tourist spot to watch sunset in Malacca. And yes, it looked romantically beautifully. However, the beach right next to the mosque's left offered a better view.

    This house built at the waterfront has an estimated price of 700.000 dollar, but it's more than that. The owner shows his house with excellent stories remembering the past, his father and grandfather, he is a living legend. Admire the house and all what you can see inside.

    This is billed as a river walk but really there is little to see of interest. Once you are beside the river either walk into the town or use one of the trikes to peddle you around . Cheap enough for a 45min tour they will wait for you at each place of interest. I would recommend as it was so hot and exhausting and they know where to go instead of working with a map if you have limited time .

    Excellent Views of melaka. The lift revolves 360 degrees so you can get views of all sides. It's very well organised and every one is seated, entering orderly.
