Follow the river to see how quays, crossings, civic spaces, market streets and promenades fit together in Melaka’s trading quarter. At the river, notice the water’s role in movement and exchange; at the crossings, look for how bridges connect the two sides. Continue through the civic square and market street before ending along the promenade, where the riverfront comes back into view. This easy walk offers a focused way to read the quarter through its routes, gathering places and waterside edge.

How a walk works

The guide starts talking when you arrive.

This page is the map and the itinerary. The app is the guide who walks it with you.

  1. Pick a walk

    Every stop is a real place, already in walking order.

  2. Pocket your phone

    Follow the line on the live map, or download the walk before you lose signal.

  3. Listen as you arrive

    On a narrated walk the story starts on its own at each stop, so your eyes stay on the place.
