• Red Square (Dutch Square) - As the centerpiece of the UNESCO Heritage area, this charming and sophisticated square is encircled by Dutch-era buildings painted in a striking crimson hue.
• A Famosa Fort - Stop for a photo at Porta de Santiago before ascending to the ruined church on St. Paul’s Hill. Originally constructed as a Portuguese fortress in 1511, it was taken over by the British in 1641 and demolished in 1806 to prevent it from falling into Napoleon’s hands. Thankfully, Sir Stamford Raffles arrived in 1810 and preserved what remains today.
• St. Paul’s Hill & Church (Bukit St. Paul) - The poignant and majestic ruins of St Paul’s Church sit atop St Paul’s Hill, offering views over central Malacca. Steep steps lead to this historic sanctuary, initially built by a Portuguese captain in 1521. The church was frequently visited by St Francis Xavier, whose marble statue stands before the ruins.
• Jonker Street - Renowned globally among avid antique collectors, Jonker Street is celebrated as one of the premier destinations for discovering and negotiating for antiques.
• Cheng Hoon Teng Temple - Malaysia’s oldest continuously operating Chinese temple, built in 1673, continues to serve as a vital place of worship for the Buddhist and Taoist communities. Traditional techniques were employed throughout, from the intricate roof ceramics to the painted tigers by the entrance. Although the temple is dedicated to Kuan Yin, the goddess of mercy, it is also a multifaith temple, incorporating Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian elements and effigies.
