(Peninsular Malaysia). Together with Georgetown in Penang, Melaka is
awarded the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 7 July 2008. Melaka is a
multiracial melting pot as a result of intermarriages since the beginning-since
the days of the Melaka Malay Sultanate. As it is a small state, public transport
can connect you to places that you want to visit while traveling in Melaka. At
city center, most of the museums and heritage sites are within walking

 CONCLUSION

Malacca is a small city with many eye-catching sights and attractive modern
establishments. It is easy to get around on foot or trishaw to explore the many
places that make it unique. You'll learn about the rich heritage and history
which has shaped Malacca into the unofficial historic capital of Malaysia.

The most prominent contribution that Malacca has lent to the Malaysian
cultural landscape is the Baba-Nyonya culture. Possessing an entirely new
blend of customs, traditions, food and lifestyle, the Nyonya are especially
prominent throughout Malacca. Although the city is a mix of old and new with
historical buildings standing side by side with ultra modern shopping centres it
retains this seamless blend of cultures.
