Program details

Head out of the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur and experience the captivating region of Malacca, birthplace of the nation and full of history at every turn. Once a powerful and prosperous trading port, Malacca was the scene of many great battles as invading forces from Portugal, England and The Netherlands fought for supremacy. Take in St. Paul’s Hill, the striking remains of a Portuguese fort, Cheng Hoon Teng temple, the oldest in all of Malaysia and hunt for authentic artefacts and relics as you stroll along the antique row of Jonker’s Street.


Come to the spot where old truly meets new at this vibrant port town and world heritage site. Situated in a vital strategic location for various foreign colonizers, Malacca boasts a rich and diverse history of culture and architecture. Explore the Portuguese fort at St. Paul’s Hill and take yourself back in time to the 17th century when it was the scene of an epic seven month siege at the hands of Dutch invaders. Next, take in Stadthuys, an outstanding example of colonial Dutch architecture and now home to the engaging History and Ethnography Museum. Discover the Chinese’s influence on Malacca at the Cheng Hoon Teng temple, the oldest of its kind in all of Malayasia and once central to the spiritual aspirations of the Chinese community in historic Malacca.


Experience the thriving modern Malay culture first hand, sampling the local Peranakan cuisine and hunting for bargains as you wander down the antique market at Jonker’s Street before being dropped off back at your hotel.
