Located in a well-preserved 19th-century townhouse, the museum features antique furniture, intricate wood carvings, and traditional artifacts that reflect the opulent lifestyle of a wealthy Peranakan family. Visitors can explore the unique blend of Chinese, Malay, and European influences in its architecture and décor.

Cheng Hoon Teng Temple in Melaka is Malaysia’s oldest functioning Chinese temple, dating back to the 17th century. Dedicated to Guan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, it showcases stunning Southern Chinese architecture, with intricate wood carvings, gold-painted calligraphy, and a serene courtyard. The temple reflects the deep-rooted Chinese heritage in Melaka, serving as a place of worship for Taoists, Confucianists, and Buddhists. Its historical and cultural significance makes it a must-visit site.

Kampung Kling Mosque in Melaka is one of Malaysia’s oldest mosques, built in the 18th century with a unique blend of Malay, Chinese, and Indian architectural influences. Unlike traditional domed mosques, it features a three-tiered pagoda-style roof, Corinthian columns, and intricate wooden carvings.

Jonker Street in Melaka is a vibrant cultural and shopping hub, famous for its night market, heritage buildings, and street food. Located in the heart of Melaka's Chinatown, it was once home to wealthy Peranakan families. Today, it’s a lively spot with antique shops, boutiques, cafés, and local eateries.

Red Square, also known as Dutch Square, is one of Melaka’s most iconic landmarks, characterized by its vibrant red colonial buildings. It features Stadthuys, a 17th-century Dutch-built structure, believed to be the oldest Dutch building in the East, now a museum. Nearby is Christ Church Melaka, with its distinctive red façade and a large white cross. The area also has the Queen Victoria Fountain and a clock tower. Red Square reflects Melaka’s colonial past and is a popular tourist spot.

St. Paul's Church in Melaka is a historic hilltop church ruin, originally built by the Portuguese in 1521 as Nossa Senhora da Annunciada (Our Lady of the Annunciation). It later became a burial site for Dutch nobility after the Dutch took over. The church offers panoramic views of Melaka and houses the statue of St. Francis Xavier, a missionary buried there temporarily. Though now a ruin, its weathered walls and tombstones provide a glimpse into Melaka’s rich colonial history.

A Famosa is a historic Portuguese fortress in Melaka, built in 1511 after the Portuguese conquest. Once a massive defensive structure, it was largely destroyed by the British in the early 19th century, leaving only the Porta de Santiago, a small gatehouse that remains today. As one of Southeast Asia’s oldest European architectural remains, it is a significant landmark showcasing Melaka’s colonial past. Located near St. Paul’s Hill, it is a must-visit for history enthusiasts.

10

The Melaka River Cruise is a scenic boat ride along the Melaka River, offering a unique way to explore the city's heritage. The 45-minute cruise passes by colorful murals, historic buildings, old warehouses, and charming bridges, showcasing Melaka’s rich history and vibrant culture. The best time to go is in the evening, when the city lights create a magical atmosphere. The cruise provides insights into Melaka’s transformation from a vital trading port to a UNESCO World Heritage city.
