Malacca

A historic state on Malaysia's west coast, renowned for its colonial heritage, iconic red buildings, and rich Peranakan culture.

Tips from the community

Portuguese explorers, Malay sultans, and British colonists have ruled and shaped Malacca over the centuries. Its tactical location on the Asian straits made it an important place for controlling trade throughout the continent. These days, that rich past is still palpable at the red-painted clocktower and Dutch-style town hall that stand in the center. Around that, walking streets play host to buzzing night bazaars. And there’s Capitol Satay Celup, a legend on the Malay dining scene, where skewers of veg and meat are dipped into boiling cauldrons of capsicum-peanut sauce.
