Our Verdict
Malacca's heritage zone is best explored without lugging suitcases. A **private car** drops you right at Jonker Street or your boutique hotel, saving 30+ minutes of additional taxi from Melaka Sentral.
Bus is fine for solo backpackers, but for couples and families the SGD 260 split among 4 people (~SGD 65 each) is worth every dollar.
