Melaka City, Malaysia - Getting Around in Melaka City

You don't need to take a taxi, bus or tour coach to get around many of the major sites in Melaka City. It's easier getting around on foot, since the sites are concentrated within a small area. The historical area, Jonker Street, museums, Taming Sri Tower and stations for the Melaka River Boat Cruise are all within walking distance from one another. 

Also within the area are the shopping malls, restaurants including fast foods, local eateries, cafes, shops and several boutique hotels. Pedicabs (many waiting near the old Dutch Quarter) are good for a leisurely joyride but you could probably get around much faster by walking. There used to be a 'hop-on, hop-off" bus service but that has been discontinued.
