All About Malacca: Malacca River Cruise

Hi readers,

Today, I would like to talk about The Malacca River Cruise. This is the great way to see the sights of Malacca at a leisurely place, in comfort and without breaking the natures.It takes 45 minutes per trip (around 9 km - 2 way)

The Cruise

The River Cruise is where the town began and it has played a key role in Malacca's colorful history. Taking a River Cruise is like seeing Malacca from the back door.

A few decades ago the river was a stinking waterway lined with decaying houses on stilts and the untidy rear side of crumbling shop-houses.

In recent years it has had a major face lift Yes, there has been a lot of new development but at the same time an effort has been made to preserve many of the historic buildings and bridges along the river.

Even the newer buildings have been painted with colorful murals depicting different aspects of Malacca's rich history and culture. Nice scenery to who are love the natures.

You must try Malacca River Cruise when you come to Malacca. When you come at night many of the sights alongside the river are illuminated with colorful lights. If you go during the day you will get a better view of the murals and the building. My suggestion, go at sunset so that you can see both day and night. The choice is up to you. :)
