Melakka

With its colorful color rickshaws, local galleries and purple colonial buildings, Malacca is the bird of paradise among Malaysian cities.
The old town has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Old store houses and mansions have been converted into galleries and hotels, preserving the colorful variety of architectural styles in the city - with influences from the Peranaks (Baba-Nyonya), Portuguese, Dutch and English.

Melakka is small enough to explore on foot. If you are brave, you can rent a bicycle.
Exploring Melakka's streets by bicycle rickshaw is a must. Although I know the prices and also haggled, the guy totally ripped me off. We had agreed 1 hour for about 50MYR.... After 17 minutes he was done and wanted his 50MYR. I huffed for the first time on my trip, but then paid... and still get annoyed. But still, the 17 minutes were fun. I have lost money more stupidly....Läs mer
