With a history that spans more than 100 years, Jonker Street (also known as Jalan Hang Jebat) is well known for its arts and antiques shops. Walking along Jonker Street like embarking on a “treasure hunt”. On this street, one can still see a fascinating variety of trades, from goldsmiths to watch repairers to the almost vanishing clog and pearl shoes traders.

Upeh Island is located across the Straits of Melaka from Tanjung Tuan. Covering an area of about 7 acres, it is one of the eight islands off the coast of Melaka. A ferry ride from Melaka to the island takes about 10 minutes.

Upeh Island is an island retreat where one can go for leisurely swims or bask in the sun. The island, with its fascinating legends and folklore, is a sanctuary for the Hawsbil turtle. Upeh Island offers its visitors a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life.

This relatively “young” museum in terms of the artifacts it houses, features the history of Melaka after the Independence of Malaysia. The museum highlights the contributions of the people of Melaka toward the development of the state, in particular, and the country in general, in areas such as economics, politics, social, education, tourism and industrialisation. Tourists will have a better understanding of how Melaka came to be as it is today. The outstanding achievements of the state from 1982 to 1992 are commemorated in the exhibition ’‘A Decade of Melaka’.
