What travelers are saying
- Sathia2 contributionsExcellent 👍..super friendly huskies..a must go visit for husky lovers.. really love the place..good 👍👍😊Written December 20, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Nurhakim_IDBanjarbaru, Indonesia124 contributionsActually this mosque is not actually floating, but because of its location on the seafront and supported by several pillars that make this mosque look like it is floating. The mosque is very clean and well maintained. In this mosque there is a kind of ATM that if we put our money in, we will get souvenirs from this mosque. Another interesting point is the pile of granite that lies along the beach area of the mosque.Written September 1, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Kristina BKuala Lumpur, Malaysia116 contributionsBeautifully kept Baba & Nyonya house from the Chan family. I would recommend all to visit and be immersed in their history. It’s amazing how well they’ve retained the home. We went before midday and didn’t have a tour guide - so maybe check when they provide guided tours as I feel this would’ve elevated the experience.Written May 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- tarundalelaKuala Lumpur, Malaysia42 contributionsWe visited Melaka in mid April -22 with family .
This is good place/bazar for foodies and to see the great lights and can experience Chinese foods/culture at the heart of Melaka
Being Veg had some difficulties but the ambience and atmosphere is too goodWritten April 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Jamiley JKuala Lumpur, Malaysia57 contributionsI am not a politician but if any good they do we need to support and recognize. This is another landmark and tourist destination that Tun Ali Rustam is working on. Although it is simple but unique because the revolving part will go down and bring You up to the top of the tower. It is perfect to take the children around in space while seeing the beauty of Badaraya Melaka. Something exciting for the kids.Written October 23, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- tarundalelaKuala Lumpur, Malaysia42 contributionsAmazing atmosphere and Dutch culture
Worth exploring if you are travelling to Melaka.
Best part it’s in the center of the city so Melaka River, Church, Jonker Streets is few min walk onlyWritten April 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - James T215 contributionsThis a a very beautiful place to have a stroll. it is litted up at night. There are many beautiful bridges and murals on the old buildings. The whole stretch takes about 1.5 hours each way. it is safe and secure.Written October 3, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Pushpal PKuala Lumpur, Malaysia179 contributionsWas really amazed to know the church is neaely 400 plus years old and Saint Francus Xavier had himself visited here and was rested forvsome months before moving to Goa. To my opinion this could have been better restored aa I could see the walls had been scribbled. Small piece of history that too my opiniom should not be missed in your tripWritten January 4, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Jim BHove1,446 contributionsThis is an interesting temple to visit, especially around the Chinese New Year. A very colourful interior with lots of decorations. This is a fully function temple, so make sure you respect the users.Written February 23, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Pushpal PKuala Lumpur, Malaysia179 contributionsSecond visit to Malacca and absolutely love the jonker area adjoining tobthe church. The river and its adjoining are has its beauty to offer both day and night. Night the river is lit up with lights and boats also have ssome colourful lights fitted. You may try to walk on the paved way to reach the mouth of the rivervas well.Written January 3, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Juniper64Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia72 contributionsSwarming with visitors and vendors and trishaws, but this is pretty much obligatory for visitors. It's also something you'll pass on the way to pretty much anything on the east side of the river, so it will be part of the "attractions circuit" in any case.
Advance reading-up on the history of Melaka will give you a deeper experience when you see this, the Stadhuys, St Paul's Hill, and other nearby spots.
Should you do it?
Well, you can't leave Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower, so....."no" is not a possible answer!Written August 27, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Kwong Yoong CSingapore, Singapore16 contributionsThis locatikn is more popularly known as the Dutch Squate. Visited the place pre-covid. Peddlers line the perimeter of the building with souvenirs and snacks. Worth exploring but more for the snacks.
From here, you will notice that other attractions like Jonker Street, Maritime museum, Kite museum are within reach.Written April 6, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - KLY1 contributionThe best of both worlds in one single place. You have the opportunity to learn a lot about doggies and how to practice Ketogenic diet.
Truly enjoyable and fruitful lesson : )Written January 24, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - NoshiKuala Lumpur, Malaysia28 contributionsWe took a detour to visit this place as we missed it the last time.
We were shown around by the owner, Haji Ibrahim who is the descendent of the founder of this village. Lots of cool antiques to see. Entrance is free but donations are welcomed for the upkeep of the house.Written December 20, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Speis75Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia241 contributionsWe arrived in Malacca in the afternoon. As our hotel room wasn't ready, we walked around and ended up at the Shore Oceanarium and decided to give it a go. As many have observed, it is not as big as Aquaria but overall it is a good indoor attraction. We enjoyed strolling from one exhibit to another. Quite a good variety of species. Places to sit for the elderly. No toilets though. The touch pool was out of bounds as they were adhering to Covid-19 SOP. With each ticket, we were given a keychain (Nemo keychain) and 3D glasses for the one of the video presentations inside.Written January 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
