Exploring Malacca (Melaka): A Stunning UNESCO Heritage City

Step into the heart of Malacca (Melaka), Malaysia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that perfectly blends history, culture, and modern charm. Join me as I take you on a journey through this incredible city, from its colonial past with the Portuguese, Dutch, and British, to its quirky modern attractions.

We’ll start with the iconic Flor de la Mar, a replica of a Portuguese ship that now houses a museum, before heading up to St. Paul’s Hill for breathtaking views and exploring the ruins of St. Paul’s Church. From there, it’s a deep dive into Malacca’s history at A Famosa Fort and Porta de Santiago, the last surviving piece of the Portuguese fortress saved by Stamford Raffles.

But it’s not all history—there’s the modern Taming Sari Gyro Tower for panoramic views of Malacca and a walk along the scenic Malacca River. We’ll even stop by quirky spots like the Upside Down House and a recommendation from a viewer—St. Peter’s Church, the oldest Roman Catholic Church still in operation in Malaysia.

Malacca is a city full of surprises, from colorful trishaws to bustling museums, and this video captures it all in stunning HD. Whether you're a history buff, an architecture lover, or just curious about Malaysia, you’ll find something to love here.
