We recently visited Malacca and rather enjoyed our 45 minute visit to the Sultanate Palace which can be found within the old Melaka Fortress area of attractions. This cultural museum is probably our favoriteof those we visited on our day along Jalan Kota. There are several other minor museums that can be found here, almost back-to-back at times. The Malacca... More

This reconstruction of the old Sultan's Palace is certainly impressive from the outside. It's worth a look just to admire the architecture. While the displays do provide some interesting insights into the early history of Melaka, they are a bit thick with costumed mannequins, and dioramas which don't necessarily convey a lot of information, and perhaps assume some prior knowledge...

The dark wooden construction gives a good impression of the socio-economic and cultural circumstances in the former Malacca sultanate. There are clothes, weapons, replica’s and artefacts who support and illustrate the chronological history-lessons. Some chambers look even completely restored with important events being reenacted. The palace is not that big, so an hour will be sufficient to escape from the... More

This is a replica of an old sultan's palace. The entrance fee includes the gardens, and while they're worth a look (because you paid for them), they aren't all too interesting. The palace itself is pretty cool. There's a replica of what the sultan's court would have looked like, Nd what his bedroom would have looked like, then it had... More

It's very closed to the fort Santiago. It's a museum. I forget how much to pay but don't worry it's cheap. It will show you the story of Melaka and the Sultans lives.

I visited this place and wondered, wow, not very big palace and gets quite warm too. Still, good to visit to see the architecture of the building.

Malacca is a city full of its cultures and history. There is a lot of historical building and places in Malcca and some of them were built by the foreign countries. i find the most interesting yet attracting is the Malacca Sultanate Palace. At there, you can have a glance at Malacca early history and the functions and customs of... More

The building and surrounding gardens are not original, but they are still a decent stop on the tourist heritage trail. Entry fee is an inexpensive 5RM to the palace/museum. I wouldn't consider this a "must see" but since most of the better places on the tourist trail are simply things you look at from the outside, this is one of... More

The thing about this palace (it's actually a replica) is that it's a huge wooden house that has no nails. Yup, zero nails. As it is nice, it's not hugely impressive or gorgeously beautiful. The ticket only cost 2RM so it's worth a brief visit. There are exhibitions inside that can inform you of the history of malai war heroes.
