Melaka

Melaka (a.k.a. Malacca) is the capital of the Malaysian state of Malacca.
Traditionally, the spot where Melaka stands today was the center of Malaccan history. It was the capital of the Malaccan Sultanate and the center of the Malay world in the 15th and the 16th century before it fell to the Portuguese in 1511. Centuries of colonization by the Portuguese, Dutch and the British have shaped the architecture of the town.

DID YOU KNOW?
Taxis

Taxis drivers can be good and bad. It’s usually best to go by meter but some won’t turn them on unless you convince them otherwise. A short ride within the city centre of KL shouldn’t cost you more than RM10. When you arrive at KLIA make sure you go to the official taxi counter to prevent being ripped off. Same applies to the KL Sentral railway station.
