## Getting ashore

Ships call at Malacca, a historic port on the Strait. Passengers land at the port or by tender, depending on the ship, and taxis wait at the port.

## Watch-outs

Malacca is hot and humid, and the old town is busy at weekends. Agree taxi fares before you travel, or use the meter.

## Old Malacca

The UNESCO old town has the Dutch Square with its red buildings, the Christ Church, the St Paul's Hill ruins and the Portuguese quarter.

## Jonker Street

Jonker Street is the night market street, busy in the evening with food and crafts.

## River and trishaw rides

Boat trips along the Malacca River pass the colourful murals. Trishaws are a traditional way to see the town.

## Food & shopping

Peranakan food includes laksa, nyonya kueh and chicken rice balls. Hawker stalls and the night market are the easiest choice.

## Money & connectivity

The currency is the ringgit. Cards are accepted in most places, and ATMs are in the town.

## Accessibility & mobility

The old town is flat in parts, but the hill up to St Paul's has steps. Trishaws have low seats. Ask your operator for accessible vehicles.
