Dutch Red Square: It’s a small square which looks good. A good place to take pictures. Also has lots of tree surrounding it. This place has some things worth capturing. The Christ church, the clock tower, the fountain, and the windmill across the street. It is very photogenic and can be easily accessed. Malacca museum: the city of Melaka, or Malacca, is brimming with history, heritage and culture so they have a lot of great buildings, antiquities and exhibits to show off and display. Secondly Melaka, together with Georgetown Penang, has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2008. In order to stay on UNESCO’s list, Melaka has a duty to preserve and maintain its unique historical and cultural heritage. It is not permitted to demolish or significantly modify the appearance of its many historic buildings so the city has to find a use for these valuable buildings. Converting them into museums is a good way of ensuring the heritage buildings are occupied and looked after.
Malacca Sultanate Palace This is a replica of the 15th century Sultan of Malacca’s palace. Great looking building with interesting contents and a beautiful garden. One of the best museums in Melaka. Must visit.
