Weekend in Malacca

As a local, this will be my itinerary as well as a guide for a weekend trip with family to Malacca, Malaysia.

There are quite a few good options for accommodations along the Malacca River but if you’re a member of the Hilton hotels, do take advantage of the special offers.

Need to hail a Grab (Malaysian Uber) to get to most famous attractions or drive there but parking is limited.
