About Melaka Heritage Zone

Melaka's Heritage Zone is one of Southeast Asia's most historically significant areas, encompassing Dutch Square, A'Famosa fortress ruins, Jonker Street, and the Peranakan quarter. The UNESCO-listed district preserves architecture from Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonial periods. Jonker Street's weekend night market is a major tourist draw, while heritage shophouses have been converted into boutique hotels, galleries, and cafes. Property in this zone carries heritage restrictions but commands premium prices for its historical significance and tourism footfall.
