✨ Melaka Heritage Walk & Riverside Vibes ✨

A trip to Melaka isn’t complete without exploring its most vibrant spots — Red Square, Christ Church, Jonker Street, and the riverside. Start your journey at the iconic Red House (Stadthuys) and Christ Church, both painted in their signature red, standing proudly since the Dutch colonial era. These landmarks are not only picture-perfect but also offer a glimpse into Melaka’s fascinating history. From here, take a short walk to Jonker Street (Jalan Hang Jebat), the bustling heart of Chinatown. By day, it’s filled with antique shops, art galleries, and cozy cafés inside heritage shophouses. But if you come on Friday or Saturday evening, you’ll catch the famous Jonker Night Market. The street transforms into a lively bazaar packed with local food, souvenirs, handmade crafts, and live street performances. Don’t miss the chance to try Melaka’s signature chicken rice balls, Nyonya laksa, and a refreshing bowl of cendol. After soaking in the vibrant energy of Jonker, head towards the Melaka River. Lined with charming cafés and bistros, it’s the perfect place to sit back with a drink or meal while enjoying the riverside breeze and colorful murals along the walkway. For a different perspective, hop on a Melaka River Cruise. The 45-minute ride takes you past historical buildings, old warehouses, and beautifully lit bridges — especially magical in the evening when the lights reflect on the water. 💡 Tip: Explore Red Square and Christ Church in the late afternoon, grab dinner and snacks at the Jonker Night Market if it’s a weekend, then end the night with a relaxing river cruise. It’s the perfect way to experience the charm and heritage of Melaka in just one trip! ⸻ #melaka #jonkerstreet #redhouse #christchurch #nightmarket #melakariver #rivercruise #travelmalaysia #heritagetown #weekendgetaway #jomcuti #mytrip
