A taxi can take you everywhere in Melaka (Malacca), making it one of the most convenient transport options for non-drivers.

These vehicles pass by many routes so that you can hail one from the road. All taxis are required by law to use meters. If you find one that doesn’t, it’s a good idea to wait for the next one.

Another alternative is downloading an E-hailing App; the famous E-hailing Operator in Melaka is Grab. We can download it from Play Store or App Store and install it on our mobile phone to move inside Melaka (Malacca) conveniently.

Getting Around at Malacca World Heritage Zone (Jonker Street & Dutch Square) with Trishaw

A trishaw ride is nostalgic for the days gone by in Malacca. Trishaw rides are an enjoyable way to get around the city.

The trishaw pullers can take us to all the major tourist attractions along the historic Jonker Street & Dutch Square. We can get a lot of trishaw pullers around the Dutch Square and Mahkota Parade Shopping Centre. We can get plenty of these colourful, 3-wheeled carts parked outside.
