River Walk, Melaka State, Malaysia

Enjoyable estuarine excursion
It has been some time that the Melaka River had its clean up started. But if one stays at the newer Melaka Raya area, most of the time is spent shopping and eating there. So it is easy to miss this enjoyable walk. There are shop houses that open their back doors to the river with brightly painted walls and murals to attract attention. The river walkway allows one to walk next to the mangrove trees. Now and then, a hint of the old river banks appear in the shabby squatter constructions still inhabited. We walked from Christ church to Kampung Morten but I'm sure the rest of it would be nice as well. Be warned that several properties adjacent to the river bank are fenced up and you have to exit from the river walk to the main road, in order to get to say, your hotel. Enjoy!

Prefect Evening walk with family
Early morning or evening walk is the best (cool weather walking is the most comfortable). Or if you don’t mind, you can also take the river cruise bot one way to one end and walk back down (depending on where you stay). The murals on the wall is a little wire but adds to the charm of the place.

Must do experience in Melaka
The Melaka River passes through the historical part of the town which is declared a UNESCO heritage site. The buildings along the river are painted with cultural murals and wall art. Enjoy a number of cafes along the river including Hard Rock Cafe, Gravy Baby, etc. This area is worth exploring on foot.
