A fascinating blend of Portuguese, Dutch and British influences have made this one of the most popular tourist destinations in Malaysia.
Activities to try out:
Malacca, like most of Malaysia, experiences a tropical climate with hot and humid weather conditions throughout the year. Average daytime temperature ranges from 30 °C to 35 °C. and nights are faily mostly between 22 and 25 °C.
Although the southwest monsoon from May to September brings a little more rain, there really is not a typical dry versus wet season, just a somewhat wetter period. Heavy showers are possible yearround.
There is a major bus station located on the outskirts of town. This large bus station has buses to every town in southern and central Malaysia. If wanting to get further north it is possible to catch an early morning bus to Kuala Lumpur then take an afternoon bus further afield. It is even possible to catch a night bus to Thailand by connecting in Kuala Lumpur. Check the Expressbus website for details about companies, routes and schedules and prices.
There are boat connections between Malacca and Dumai, Indonesia.
Newton food court is a nice place to try out various dishes. It is located close to the old ship museum.
The cafes on the by-lane connecting Jonker Walk street to Jalan Tan Tun Cheng Lock and the cafes on Jalan Tan Tun Cheng Lock such as Baba House cafe, Cafe 1511, Coconut House cafe are nice places to eat at.
