Touted as the un-official historic capital of Malaysia, Malacca brims with notable attractions and fascinating fare. Established in the 1400’s by Sumatran prince, Parameswara, Malacca flourished as an international port due to its strategic location.
The Dutch Heritage Trails Tour takes you on a trip to experience the legacy and culture of Malacca city which was inhabited by the Portugese, British and Dutch over a period of four centuries. Remnants of their rule can be seen throughout the town from the A-Famosa fort to the nearby Stadhuys and Christ Church. To top it all off a trip to Malacca would be incomplete without a stroll down Jonker Street. Once a narrow alleyway filled with wealthy imposing residences it has now become a bargain-hunter’s paradise for antiques and food. On Fridays and Saturdays the street is transformed into a busy, carnival-like bazaar with tourists thronging the boulevard looking for unique items to buy. Description.

On arrival, our tour starts with a visit to a traditional Melaka House. A typical Melaka house stands on 12 to 16 main pillars, usually two metres high with decorative flower motif tiled steps.
Next, a photo stop at a typical Melaka Mosque with its tired pyramid roof and a pagoda shaped minaret.
We will start the walking tour from the St Francis Xavier Church built in 1849, which features authentic French architectural design. We then visit the Stadthuys, built by the Dutch as the official residence of the Dutch governors before coming to the Christ Church, completed in 1753 with its bright red structure. We then ascend up St Paul's Hill to visit the St Paul’s Church where St Francis Xavier was temporary buried before his body was moved to Goa, India.
As we descend, we shall pass by the Melaka Sultanate Palace which is a wooden replica of the 15th century Malay Sultanate palace and Porta de Santiago which is part of the fortress of Fortaleza de Melaka built by the Portuguese. |
