MELAKAMap & Guide
The Stadthuys
ST. PAUL’S HILL
Aside from a breathtaking view of the city and its coastline, a walk up St. Paul’s Hill will give visitors a sense of Melaka’s history. When the Portuguese captured Melaka, a fortress and a chapel were built here, named A’ Famosa and Nosa Senhora respectively. St. Francis Xavier, who regularly visited the chapel, was buried here in 1553 before his remains were transferred to Goa in India.Tel: +606 286 6011
MARITIME MUSEUM
Also known as Flor De La Mar, the museum is fashioned after the Portuguese ship that sank off the coast of Melaka. With paintings and exhibits detailing the maritime history of Melaka, the museum also displays porcelain, textiles, spices and even sunken treasures taken off Diana, another shipwreck. Tel: +606 281 4872 Website: www.perzim.gov.my
BABA & NYONYA HERITAGE MUSEUM
Once the ancestral home of three generations of a Baba Nyonya family, the Baba and Nyonya Heritage Museum offers a glimpse into the life of a wealthy Straits Chinese family, otherwise known as the Peranakan people, descendants of the earliest Chinese migrants to Melaka. Tel: +606 283 1273Website: www.babanyonyamuseum.com
REPLICA OF MELAKA SULTANATE PALACE
The replica of Sultan Mansur Shah’s palace at the foot of St. Paul’s Hill was built based on the information and data obtained from the Malay Annals. The architectural style follows the original where no nails were used. The museum is a great place to learn about Melaka’s long and illustrious past with more than 1,300 historical items on display. Tel: +606 282 6526 Website: www.perzim.gov.my
JONKER STREET
Jonker Street is the vibrant heart of Melaka City, where old town houses and shophouses are transformed into cafes, pubs and boutiques. There are also antique shops offering collectibles dating back hundreds of years as well as souvenir shops and hawker food stalls. Jonker Street is liveliest at night, especially during festive seasons.Tel: +606 284 8282
THE STADTHUYS
Characterised by salmon red walls, the Stadthuys was once the official residence of the Dutch governors and their officers. The building is a fine example of Dutch woodworking and masonry, and presently houses the History and Ethnography Museum as well as the Literature Museum. Built in 1645, the Stadthuys is the oldest remaining Dutch building in Southeast Asia. Tel: +606 284 1934 Website: www.perzim.gov.my
A’FAMOSA FORT (PORTA DE SANTIAGO)
The Porta de Santiago is one of the four main entrances to the A’Famosa fortress, which was built in 1511 by Alfonso d’ Albuquerque, a Portuguese admiral. Even though the rest of the fortress was badly damaged during the Dutch invasion in 1641, its iconic gateway still stands to this day. The fort was saved in time from being demolished by Sir Stamford Raffles and his deep passion for history.Tel: +606 286 6011
TAMING SARI TOWER
Malaysia’s only gyro tower stands at a height of 80m and revolves 360 degrees, providing a breathtaking panoramic view of Melaka. Its name is inspired from ‘Sari Keris’, the mythical weapon belonging to the legendary warrior Hang Tuah. Attached to the tower are five commercial outlets including a restaurant, café and souvenir shops. Tel: +606 288 1100 Website: www.menaratamingsari.com

The centre’s complex comprises a cluster of five traditional Malaccan Malay houses representing the five famous warriors during the era of Sultan Mansur Shah– Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat, Hang Kasturi, Hang Lekir and Hang Lekiu.
