Malacca
Like Penang to the north, Malacca is a fascinating mix of cultures and religions. At various times over the last 500 years the Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch and British have all settled in this city, and their influence is still felt today. Visitors to Malacca can explore this heritage at the same time they sample the vibrant culture of modern Malaysia.
