Complete place to know and discover the history of Melacca city. Used to be like a parliament house (Stadthuis) since the Dutch till the Malay rule. Several museums is in this building, ethnography, education, arts, cheng ho museum etc. Spent about 1-1.5hrs here. Climb more and you'll find the governor's house on the hill next to st. Paul's hill. Admission fee for non malaysian is RM10 for adult. Worth it for history lovers!

This musuem is a good place to get a heads up on the history of Malacca. Do not miss out on the Cheng Ho gallery upstairs beyond the courtyard. There are guided sessions on Saturdays and Sundays at 10.30am and 2.30pm. Also don't miss the emblic tree at the carpark of which Malacca is named after
