It was a sunny afternoon and we were looking some indoor activity to spend the time. My friend saw this place from Tripadvisor. Since it's the "1st Top Thing To Do List" in Malacca therefore we gave it a try. In the beggining, we received a warm welcome from Ms. Melanie. She gave us a briefing about the rules while interacting with the huskies. Hand sanitizer is provided. Surprisingly this place is unexpectedly amazing as we are able to interact with more than 10 Siberian Huskies in a clean environment. There are staffs always duty in the area to ensure the safety of the dogs and human.Free photography service is available.Not only that, there is an education gallery available for us to understand more about the breed. In the end of the session, there are free drinks available to claim at the cafe. We would definitely come back when we are back to Malacca. Thumbs up to Melanie for the friendly service ????????

Five pooches with very distinctive personalities, and friendly owners. A fun way to spend an hour for dog lovers. They are relocating to Ayer Keroh soon, which is closer to Kuala Lumpur so do make a "pooch pit stop" on the way to Melaka, or on the way back. Woof woof!

This fascinating hillside burial ground has a storied past; it should, as it dates back to the Ming dynasty.
Reviewed By Vicente8
A hidden gem in Malacca, this ancient Chinese cemetery occupies a gentle hill downtown Malacca. The walk to the hilltop is even more impressive during March and April when the red flame of the forest and the frangipani trees cover the slopes with their spectacular red and rose flowers. A good starting point is St Peter's Church next to the river (you can even start downstream from Chinatown and enjoy the walk along the river). Take the lane along the fence of St Peter's Church (Lorong Haji Bachee) and you will bump on the cemetery hill. Continue straight on the little path going up the hill among the trees and old graves. You can go down on your right by the staircase with red handrail or continue the walk until the beautiful viewpoint. After the hilltop, the path snakes Southwards among the nice flowering trees above mentioned. You can exit at the hill foot or circle around the mount by keeping to your left on the track.

6. Red Square (Dutch Square)

The center of town is referred to as "Red Square" because of the Dutch-inspired red buildings.
Reviewed By ElsaCL - New York City, United States
I have not seen pedaled tricycles as elaborately decorated and brightly lit at night as those in Melaka. Fun to look at!!! I wish their boom box is not as loud. The Dutch Square is so resplendent in its red color. It has a wind mill, a tower clock and an over 200-year old Christ Church. In this square you will find the most colorful pedaled tricycles with its owners making a living by giving tourists a fun ride. Do take rides so they will have income. Prices in Malaysia are reasonable.
7. Chinatown - Melaka

Mansions, temples and antique shops are packed into the narrow streets of the lively Chinatown district.
Reviewed By mpmilestogo - Hanoi, Vietnam
Most of the wonderful little side streets and alleys lead back to the river or Jonker Street. It’s worth spending a day wandering the streets with camera and finding things hidden in plain sight.
8. Stadthuys

This 17th-century building was the seat of the Dutch administration and now houses a history museum.
Reviewed By bryonb468
You will probably stumble onto Dutch Square while in the old city of Melaka. It seems to be the place to be. And that's part of the appeal. I recommend going there at night and during the day. At night it's full of garishly lit tuk tuks blaring loud music carrying smiling tourist. It seems like everyone is having a great time. In the day it's still full of people, but it's less hectic. There are a lot of museums in the area that are worth ducking into to learn more about the history of Melaka. And the buildings are beautiful to look at. It's a worthwhile place to visit.
9. A Famosa Fort

This 16th century Portuguese fort has been mostly destroyed; in its heyday it occupied a massive area and contained numerous government buildings, churches and hospitals.
Reviewed By javiercard2017 - Bilbao, Spain
A’Famosa, built in 1511, was the settlement used to sprawl across a whole hillside but now only a lone gate (Porta de Santiago) remains. It´s one of the oldest surviving European architectural remains in Asia. A’Famosa is perhaps Melaka’s best known sightseeing spot. Originally constructed by Alfonso de Albuquerque (who led the Portuguese invasion on the Melaka Sultanate), the remains of the fort is now a crumbling whitewashed gatehouse and is located downhill from St. Paul’s Church.

The A' Famosa Fort and landmark St Paul's Church are two of the many attractions in this district.
Reviewed By Alok_Nahata - Alor Setar, Malaysia
A worth visiting place in Melaka ... it is suggested to climb the hill from the A'Famosa fort side so that you can see Famosa fort and then climb up the hill to see the ruins of St. Paul church. A small climb of around 50 stairs and nice views of Melaka await you, especially you can see the Taming Sari tower go up and come down from here. A nice place...must go ...
