Alor Gajah

Skip Alor Gajah unless you have a specific reason to visit the museum or square: a 30-minute stop is enough, and Malacca City has more to offer.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Alor Gajah is a small district town in Malacca state, about 25 km north of Malacca City. It has a public square and a small museum but no major attractions. Most travellers pass through on the way to other destinations. A half-hour visit is enough if you are curious; otherwise, spend your time in Malacca City or Ayer Keroh.
