Jonker Street is amazing but don't forget to check out the side streets. We love antique shopping in Malacca. If you have children, the Butterfly and Reptile Farm in Ayer Keroh is worth checking. Lots of different animals and they do conservation wor

Ayer Keroh

the sand dune from a far at dusk, we walked appx 3km to and fro the main road. The hike was a brief and easy not too winding or hilly, wearing a sneaker or flipper it's good enough. it's good to check the time of sun down as the way to the main road is dim.
