Travel tips

What to Wear
Loose and light summer clothing is recommended for outdoor activities like sightseeing and antique shopping. Whether you join an organised tour or prefer to visit the museums and different attractions on your own you will do quite a bit of walking and there are some stairs (especially Bukit St. Paul) so comfortable flat shoes are recommended. When visiting religious sites it is always best to be on the conservative side (long pants, long skirt, shirts and blouses with sleeves and so on).

Getting Around Melaka
Melaka itself is small enough to explore on foot. There are not that many taxis trolling the streets of Melaka but you can make taxi arrangement with the hotel. Taxi trip within the city is at flat rate RM15-20 per trip.

Electricity: Malaysia's voltage is 220 - 240 AC, 50 hertz.

Malaysia's local currency, the Malaysian Ringgit (expressed as RM) (also known as the dollar by the locals), is divided into 100 sen. Bank notes are denominated units of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100. Coins are 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 sen.

Tipping
Tipping is not the norm in Melaka. Many restaurants will automatically add 5% service charge to your bill
