Malacca Town  is the capital of the Malaysian state of Malacca.

Tourism, attractions

Malacca Town is a worthwhile place to visit. Most of the tourist attractions are concentrated in its small city centre, and one can walk down Jonker's Walk which is a row of shophouses of Peranakan architecture. One can also visit Pulau Melaka, an island formed through land reclamation mainly for housing purposes. Other islands include Pulau Upeh and Pulau Besar.
To reach Malacca town through the North-South highway, one have to take a detour from the town of Ayer Keroh and travel south through the Ayer Keroh Road, while to reach Muar, which is 40 km from the Malacca Town itself, one have to travel by Jalan Ujong Pasir.
One can also visit the reclaimed island of Pulau Melaka, just by crossing a causeway that leads to the island.
