Malaysia — Malacca — Exploring Malacca, Malaysia

A stroll around town

June 2015

I spent an afternoon exploring the old town of Malacca, which had a fascinating history.

The architecture was particularly interesting in that it is a mixture of Malaysian and European. Quite stunning at times. I particularly liked the style of the shops in the town and the old small narrow roads.

Heeren Street, Malacca, Malaysia

Heeren Street, Malacca, Malaysia, also sometimes spelt Herren, and on most maps of Malacca called Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, had several small museums, some of which were selling their exhibits (??), and some fascinating architecture that hinted at the colonial history of the town.

And when walking around, it is sometimes a good idea to look up at the buildings as you never know what you might find.

I liked the town. There was a lot of interesting architecture and little places to explore. It was worth the effort to spend some time exploring in the heat of the day.
