The Stadthuys is located on the banks of the Malacca River in Melaka Tengah, Melaka State, Malaysia, and is a representative architectural complex from the Dutch colonial period. Built between 1641–1660, it originally served as the official residence and administrative center for the Dutch governor and his officials, and is considered one of the oldest surviving Dutch-style buildings in Southeast Asia. The name "Stadthuys" means "city hall" in Dutch, and its function has changed several times throughout history. Today, the main area of The Stadthuys has become a history and ethnography museum, with exhibitions covering the period from the 15th-century Malacca Sultanate to the independence of Malaya in 1957, displaying artifacts from the Portuguese, Dutch, and British periods. The ethnography section recreates the living scenes of various ethnic groups, including Malays, Chinese, Indians, Portuguese Eurasians, and Peranakans (Baba Nyonya), with traditional wedding setups, musical instruments, ancient porcelain, weapons, stamps, and old currency all worth a close look.Melaka · 39.5 km from Muar

Dutch Square (Red Square) Melaka is located in Melaka Tengah, Melaka State, Malaysia, and serves as the heart of the historic city of Melaka. Because the square and surrounding buildings are uniformly red, it is also known as the Red Square. This area was once the administrative center during the Dutch colonial period and now, as an important part of the Melaka World Heritage Site, it continues to attract visitors from all over. The square itself is an open space, and the "I LOVE MELAKA" sign is a popular photo spot. It is not far from Jonker Walk Melaka and Harmony Street, while St Pauls Hill Melaka and the Malacca River are also within walking distance. Many tourists use the square as the first stop for their tour of the old city.Melaka · 39.5 km from Muar

Church of Saint Paul, Malacca
No. 6 of Night Attractions in Melaka

Church of Saint Paul, Malacca

5.4
4.5/5
311 reviews
Church of Saint Paul, Malacca stands atop St Pauls Hill Melaka and is a roofless church ruin dating back to 1521. It was originally a small chapel built by the Portuguese to give thanks for surviving a storm at sea, and was later expanded by the Jesuits into the structure seen today. The missionary Saint Francis Xavier used this place as a base for his missionary work in China and Japan. After his body arrived in Melaka in 1553, it was temporarily buried here, and an empty grave remains in the church, which is said to be the original resting place. After the Dutch took over Melaka in 1641, the interior was used as a burial ground for a time, and the tombstones in Portuguese and Dutch lining the walls mostly date from this period. A white marble statue of Saint Francis Xavier stands in front of the church. The statue's right arm is broken. The day after its unveiling in 1952, a tree fell and broke the arm. Historically, Xavier's right arm was indeed sent to Rome as a relic, a coincidence often mentioned by visitors. The church is located in a spot with an expansive view, overlooking the city of Melaka and the Strait of Malacca.Melaka · 39.4 km from Muar

Taking the Melaka River Cruise is one of the most scenic and relaxing ways to explore the historic heart of the city. This 45-minute boat ride glides along the waterway that once served as a vital commercial artery for the spice trade. As you travel along the river, you will pass by a beautiful blend of old and new, including traditional Malay stilt houses in Kampung Morten, vibrant street art murals, and historic Dutch-era warehouses that have been converted into boutique cafes.The experience changes wonderfully depending on when you go. A daytime cruise offers a clear view of the colorful architecture and daily life along the riverbanks, while a sunset or night cruise transforms the journey into a magical, illuminated spectacle with the bridges and buildings lit up in brilliant colors. It is a fantastic, effortless way to take in the rich cultural tapestry of this UNESCO World Heritage city.

Holland Square in Malacca is a must-visit Instagrammable spot. The striking red colonial buildings stand out against the blue sky and white clouds, making for great photo opportunities. It's conveniently located on foot, not far from Jonker Street. The square itself isn't large; half an hour is enough to stroll around and take pictures. It's very popular with tourists. Nearby are fountains and an old church, offering a chance to soak up the historical atmosphere.

It's so different than all the other part of the city!You get the feeling that you are in a movie set, as the square is way different than anything you have seen in Malaysia. Enjoy it in the day, but in the night also as everything is open, night market arround the corner and split in 2 parts, one it's indian and on the other side is chinees

The price was a bit high, but the scenery was beautiful. Unfortunately, there was no refund or cancellation policy. Because the driver deliberately led us on a wrong route, we were delayed and couldn't reach the top for the view. The children were very disappointed, and the driver refused to compensate us. We had to buy new tickets ourselves and visit the next day.

Genting Highlands was a lot of fun! It wasn't too crowded, and the queues never took more than 20 minutes. The rides were fantastic, similar to Universal Studios and Disneyland, and the value for money was amazing. I definitely want to come back!

St. Paul's Hill is located in the heart of the Malacca Old Town World Heritage Site, near the Dutch Stadthuys and the Santiago Gate. It was once an important high ground of the Sultanate, and Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty designated it as the "National Mountain." The hill is not high; a short walk of about ten minutes up the steps leads to the summit. The view from the top is excellent, overlooking Malacca city, the Malacca River, and the Straits, making it a popular spot for sunset photography. Several small museums and the remains of a Dutch cemetery are also located nearby. At the top is St. Paul's Church (Gereja St. Paul), originally built by the Portuguese in 1521 as a church for Our Lady. In 1548, it was handed over to the Jesuits, where St. Francis Xavier preached. His body was temporarily buried here in 1553. After the Dutch occupation in 1641, it was renamed St. Paul's Church, later used as a cemetery and fortress; bullet holes are still visible in the outer walls. It is now a magnificent, roofless stone ruin. There is a white statue of Xavier in front of the church (missing his right hand); inside are scattered ancient tombstones inscribed with Portuguese/Latin; admission is free, and opening hours are the same as in the old town; the building itself is one of the oldest European colonial relics in Southeast Asia.
