 | Kuala Lumpur Malacca Reviews | Tips 1 - 4 of 4 |  |
Take a trip down south to historic city Melaka (formerly known as 'Malacca') when you are having a vacation in Kuala Lumpur. It is situated just two hours drive from Kuala Lumpur. You can catch an express bus to Melaka from Pudu Raya bus terminal. Bus fare is approximately RM10.00 one way per person. Many wonderful tourist attractions await visitors at historic Melaka city such as A'Famosa, St. Paul's Hill, St. John's Hill, Stadhuys, Melaka River Cruise, Sam Poh Well, Portuguese settlement, Melaka Zoo, Mini Malaysia, old Chinese temples and mosques and numerous museums. There are many excellent and well-furnished hotels in the city to choose from if you decide to stay a longer period in Melaka such as the new Hotel Holiday Inn, Hotel Equatorial, Hotel Renaissance Melaka, Hotel Inter-Continental, Hotel Oriental and Hotel City Bayview. Please book in advance before you begin your journey to Melaka to avoid disappointment even though Melaka has ample hotel rooms. Many of the hotels are within walking distance to major tourist attractions, large shopping complexes, cafés, bars, restaurants and entertainment centres.

 | |  |  | Malacca: Melaka, 2 hours south of KL by... | |  |  | |  |
Melaka, 2 hours south of KL by Coach, this place needs it own headon VT (how do I add one of those). Rich in history, conflict and really was the start of Malaysia back in 1400's. Some dude, exiled from Sumatra founded the port, a few Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and Brit’s and 500 years later you have modern day Melaka. The main historical part of town and Chinatown are all with in short strolling time, which is quite handy in the heat. I travlled up from Singapore by Coach (S$25 - 4 hours) and returned the same way, but bought my ticket in Melaka for RM12.50 which is a quarter of the price for the same trip. Stayed at Tony's Guest House (formerly Apple), Single room cost me RM12 and it was very very central. Close to Capitol Satay and Madras Resturants, and a short stumble from the Discovery Cafe where a got a little drunk with Mike & Tony, Mike was another guest of Tony's. Very enjoyable and relaxing location
