Malaysia ( Melaka-UNESCO) 2016 - Day 2 (Part 1)

Day Two (Part 1) - continued my heritage trail in Historic Melaka


Museums, Museums & Museums - The historic city of Melaka has a number of museums for tourists to visit - so if you are a museum lover, you may have to spend a fair bit of time moving around to visit each one of them. Many of these museums are within walking distance near the Dutch Square - so to save time, I suggest you carry a tourist map with you for guidance on directions etc. So do not mess out your time if you are pressed for time in Melaka ! 


1) Maritime Museum (Muzium Samudera), Jalan Merdeka - also known as Flor de la Mar, a replica of the Portuguese ship which sank in the coast of Melaka. The Museum shows the maritime history of Melaka, the golden ages of Melaka's Sultanate and different eras that Melaka has gone through.
