Malacca River Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Malacca River is a small, narrow strait that connects the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra. However, it is this long and narrow ocean passage that carries the necessary passage between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. There are boating activities on the Malacca River held here every day. The registration office is at the tourist center office behind the pier. . This tour takes 45 minutes and travels all the way through the city, where you will see old warehouses, fish markets and more. You will also pass KAMPUNGMORTEN, a typical Malay village house called VILLASENTOSA. The return journey will pass through various piers along the river. Yachts are also provided here to take tourists to the islands off the Straits of Malacca to play.

Colorful Walk Along Malacca RiverHey there! Let me tell you about my colorful stroll along Malacca River in Malaysia. It was like stepping into a whole new world full of surprises, from mouthwatering treats and street art to breathtaking historical buildings that had me feeling like a time traveler. Picture this: I'm walking along the riverbank, and all of a sudden, the air is filled with the most amazing aromas. Restaurants and bars line the waterfront, offering an incredible variety of tasty treats. I couldn't resist digging into authentic Malaysian dishes and washing them down with refreshing drinks while enjoying the cool breeze and stunning views. But here's the best part – the street art! Everywhere I looked, there were jaw-dropping displays of vibrant colors and creativity. I mean, who needs an art museum when you have the entire city as your canvas? The murals, graffiti, and sculptures told stories of culture and history, making me feel like I was walking through a living, breathing gallery. My stroll along the Malacca River was an absolute blast! The mix of scrumptious food, colorful street art, and historical sites made it a memorable trip. #malaysia #melaka #mytriplog #history #awesompicFlorence Sjah81

A day trip to Melaka#malaka Malaka is a historical history. I remember visiting few places like A famosa, Jonker street and the Melaka River itself. Spending the evening chilling by the river was one of the relaxing things I ever felt. I wish I did try riding the boat that bring you around by the river, would be a better experience to view some places from the boat. Price wise for foods and accomodation were fair, there’s a lot of visitors going in and nice that they didnt increase prices of some services by a lot.Viana’s Journey31

A Sight To See At Malacca River#malaka #history #malacca #malaysia #attraction #tourists #MustVisit Melaka is a popular stop place for a tourists destination or a rest stop for people travelling to KL. It is filled with vibrant culture and heritage especially around the city centre by the malacca River, and of course there is a story behind it. If you go early in the mornkng(due to the less crowds and easier to find parking), you will be able to see the many arts painted on the walls around the city centre especially near the river where it tells a story on the trading that happens along the rover which flow thru the city back in the 15th century. But of course, don't expect the waters to be crystal clear, as the waters here are greenish murky. Alsp don't forget to visit the famous malacca cathedral which is a monument which is an 18th century alocan Church still standing.Kinnie Kong20

Night stroll along Malacca River📍Another weekend trip to Malacca this new year!😍 This time i stayed at hotel overlooking the well known Malacca river. Malacca is a World Heritage City and most attractions & historical monuments here are well-maintained since the Dutch colonization period. With Malacca river at the centre flows through the Malacca city, this heritage city offers many attractions and historical buildings alongside the river. Some of the buildings were painted with colourful & creative murals. ✨You can enjoy day or night stroll along the river (the cost is free!) by following the brick looking path and/or pedestrian walkway alongside the Malacca river. They also provide maps at few pitstop near the bridge. Of course I prefer a night stroll with cold windy breeze😂 ✨Leisurely night stroll along the river and you may encounter the Makan Avenue, the Waronk cafe (famous eateries), the Hard Rock Cafe, Jonker Walk, the Melaka River Cruise, the Quayside Hotel and even the 5 star Casa Del Rio Melaka. Not to forget, take your time to wander through the alleys in the neighborhoods. Surely worth a visit!✨ #tripblazers #awesomepic #couplestrip #urbanexplorer #explore #trip #travel #nightwalk #malaccariver #malacca #goingplacesafiqaliya28

Melaka River Cruise! best ever!Nice 30mins+ boat ride in a calm canal/river. I can see that the maintenance of the murals and painting along the river's edge have not been done during the pandemic. But there are some new buildings with some pretty interesting architecture along the river edge. Colourful lights along the river. ride with narrative explaining historic structure along river bank. Took 15 min ride until maritime museum and turn back. Rm 25 adult and RM15 child for Malaysian. Walk in around 6.30pm for night ride. I love what they have done on both river banks. They kept the old homes and warehouses and converted them into fabulous riverside hotels, shops. cafes, eateries and street arts. Must do activity if you are ever in Melaka. Very reasonable price on the tickets, a very informative cruise and the view during the cruise is really amazing. If its not much, I can say that you will know about the whole Melaka just by taking this less than an hour river cruise. A brilliant idea in providing this cruise by the Melaka state government. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #2023travelwish #christmas #melaka #malaysia #familyZ and F22

Historical River turn hipster hauntOne of the highlights of a trip to Melaka is to explore the river walk. Wait until the sun is not so hot (around 5-6pm) and start walking along this historical river. The scene along the way is very interesting with beautiful street art, quaint shops and cafes. The sky reflected on water is out of this world.#tripblazers #awesomepic #urbanexplorer If you’re tired, just stop at small cafes and stalls that you passed by for a cendol or milo ais. Sit and watch people passing by and the cruise boats that carry tourists along the river. This is a must do for instagrammers and tiktokers. No matter how many times you had passed trough here before, you’ll still find new things to admire. #foodieAbd Muluk22

My view of Melaka River from The Shore Hotel. So beautiful especially at night. We didn't take the cruise as we're short of time. Probably next time.
have you ever been to Malacca ? enjoyable river cruise along the malacca river .journey about 45 minutes throughout the street art, restaurants by the river and city. a relaxing type cruise to documentry you journey. We love our ride here and the cost wasreasonable. Choose the night river , you will see bridges full of beautiful light.
The Malacca River offers a captivating experience, weaving through the historic city of Malacca, Malaysia. Lined with colorful buildings and adorned with vibrant murals, the river cruise provides a picturesque journey. The narrated tour unveils the city's rich history, complemented by the charming blend of modern and traditional architecture along the riverbanks. Illuminated at night, the scenery becomes magical. While the cruise may be brief, it's a delightful way to absorb Malacca's essence and learn about its cultural tapestry.
