Hi all, swiss garden hotel nice? About rm300

Thinking of going Melaka during Christmas week as havent been there for over 10 years. Any good recommendation of hotel within walking distance from Jonker St.? How is the event/celebration around Jonker St during Christmas Eve? Lots of pubs there?

hotel casa del rio looks nice, walking distance as well.

Back in September, I booked a hotel in Malacca for end of October and then CMCO (Selangor) started. Can't travel. Asked hotel to relocate the date (still open) but only up to end of Nov. Still no sign of ending CMCO to yet.

Hi guys, may I know currently is Melaka get very crowded during weekends? I think overseas travelers are not coming over yet right?

Thanks

Now started to get crowded already, especially during the weekends.

I stay at silverscape condo. Very nice 👍. I go opposite eat the seafood. But the owner dishonest overcharge me a lot.

Wonker street walking an shopping.

Any good food especially seafood. I would love to go melaka again

My tips in visiting Melaka...

- get hold of a simple tourist map, as below.
https://www.melaka.gov.my/en/tourism/touris...melaka-town-map



- All the tourist spots in the town area are within walking distace. So wear a comfortable walking shoes. And an umbrella if doing the walking tour in the afternoon.

- There are restaurants and stalls selling food and drinks at almost every block, so you can take a break now and then.

- Best time is real early in the morning, about 7am. Quiet and less people.

- Walking to all the tourist spots around Jonker St, the river banks and around the Stadhuys and Dataran Pahlawan can easily take 4-5 hours.

- You will not be able to cover all the tourist spots. So leave some for future trips.

Also another tip.
Download 'SVP Parking Melaka' app to pay parking online.
Managed to dodge 2 'bullets' (summons) on Sunday. Saw by my own eyes 2 authorities writing summons on other cars but not mine.
Yes, you need to pay parking on weekends and if I am not wrong you do not need to pay parking on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Correct. Monday and Tuesday free parking.

Is there express bus from Melaka to Penang island please? *I cannot find any on redbus app...
Any good express bus company recommendation?
Thanks.

Hi all, I did some search in booking.com for accommodation and prefer something within walking distance to Jonker Street to minimise driving. A lot of the places based on my filter stated 800-900m from Jonker Street. What does that equate in terms of normal walking? 10-15 mins walk?

Yes it is
