    Malacca was a key trading hub for centuries, conne Malacca was a key trading hub for centuries, connecting merchants from China, India, and the Middle East long before European powers arrived.

The city changed hands between the Portuguese, Dutch, and British, which is why its architecture looks so varied. Unlike some tourist spots, people still live and work in the old town, so it feels active rather than preserved. The Malacca River, once used for trade, is now more about cafés and walking paths.
