Despre activitate
Explore the cradle of modern Malaysia on a self-guided walking tour around Melaka, hearing tales of sultans, spices and empires at a crossroad. This audio guide takes you on the history of the area, from the Portuguese colonial days in the 1400s, driven by gold, glory and God, through the Dutch business empire, all the way to today’s Melaka, a city with UNESCO world heritage status. Hear about the Malay sultans and Portuguese viceroys that shaped its history. Take in the fragrant aromas that linger from the spice trade, and learn why Melaka was such an important piece on the global trading chessboard. You'll see some of the key landmarks that remain from the various occupations, including Porta de Santiago, St Paul’s Church, and the Stadhuys. You'll also learn how the Dutch and Portuguese influenced the Malay language and what it was like growing up in Melaka in the 1990s. Dive into this spicy melting pot of a city and get a taste of its diverse history on this 45-minute tour.
