MALACCA 3

Surprisingly, there is no Malaysia Tourism Board office in Malacca, but there is a locally operated Malacca Tourism Centre in the Town Square ( 06/2836538).
While there is an airport in Malacca, it's not open for any flights due to lack of demand. And while Malacca doesn't have a proper train station, the KTM stops at Tampin (06/441-1034), 38km (23'/9 miles) north of the city. It's not the most convenient way in and out of Malacca, but if you decide to stop en route between Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru, you can easily catch a waiting taxi to your hotel in town for RM35 to RM40 (US$9.20-US$11).

From Singapore, contact Malacca-Singapore Express at 65/ 6293-5915. Buses depart seven times daily for the 4 1/2 hour trip (S$11/ (US$6.30).
