The drive from KL to Malacca was scenic and the guide shared so much history about the city. Seeing the Stadthuys and climbing St. Paul's Hill were definite highlights.
Really interesting to see the historical blending of cultures in Malacca, especially the Dutch Square and its buildings. Seeing the Sultanate Palace gave a good glimpse into the history. It was a full day but we saw a lot.

Malacca was fascinating, the walk up St. Paul's Hill to see the ruins was a highlight and the Nyonya lunch was a nice introduction to local flavors. The drive from KL was pretty long but worth it to see the Dutch Square.
