Visit the fortress of A Famosa, considered among the oldest surviving European architectural remains in Southeast Asia.
St. Paul's Church is a historic church building in Malacca City, Malaysia that was originally built in 1521, making it the oldest church building in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. It is located at the summit of St. Paul's Hill and is today part of the Malacca Museum Complex comprising the A Famosa ruins, the Stadthuys and other historical buildings.

Malacca Day Trip
My day trip to Malacca was fantastic thanks to Sathesh. He showed me around the city, explained its history and culture, and made sure I got to see all the highlights. He was great company, and we had a really good time together throughout the day. His friendliness and enthusiasm made the experience memorable.
Malacca tour
We were glad that Sathesh accompanied us to tour Malacca today. The food he chose for us to eat was delicious. Aside from being hot and humid today, everything went very well. Thank you Sathesh for your superb service. Hopefully we will be able to meet again next time we visit KL. Thank you.
