Malacca was founded bya Sumatran prince, Parameswara, during the early 1400's. In the
following centuries, it grew from a fishing village into a great
cosmopolitan city. Malacca became an important port and trading
centre for European and Western countries. Merchants from all over
the world came to trade spices, silk and other treasures. Some even
settled in this land "flowing with milk and honey". Over
time, this coveted city was subject to Portuguese, Dutch and British
rule. Today, Malacca is an illustrious historic city - a melting pot
of historical treasures and cultures.
The best way to discover the historical splendor of Malacca is bywalking along her narrow lanes and rows of beautiful centuries old
houses and shops. Another great way is to rent a trishaw. Always
agree on the rates before taking the trishaw
