WELCOME TO MELAKA

WORLD HERITAGE CITY UNESCO

Melaka’s appeal lies in its rich and colourful past. Melaka is renowned as the place where the history of Malaysia began. From a quiet fishing village back in the early 15th century, Melaka grew into one of the world’s greatest trading empires. In the 16th century, Melaka enjoyed a reputation as the foremost maritime trading centre in the region. Merchants came from as far as Arabia, China, India and Europe to conduct trade in silk, spices, gold and porcelain.

Today, there’s a lot more to Melaka in addition to its fascinating stories, legends and historical attractions. Centuries of multi-racial living vultures have produced varied customs, festivals, foods and languages. Melaka has a lot more to offer based on the 12 sub-sectors tourism product, namely History, Culture, Recreation, Sports, Shopping, Convention, Health, Education, Agro, “Makan-Makan”, Melaka My Second Home and Youth Tourism. With its chosen slogan “Visit Historic Melaka Means Visit Malaysia”, Melaka has so much to offer and has become the melting pot of all the races (Malays, Chinese, India, Portuguese, Peranakan, Chitty and others).

From historical heritage sites to its cultural richness, Melaka has been recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNECSO) as the Historic Cities of Malaysia, together with Georgetown, on 7th July 2008. This reflects the succession of historical and cultural influences arising from its roots as a trading port linking East and West.
