From Malacca Sultanate, you can say, and modern Malaysia began in the 15th century. First, as a port, then as an important shopping city and an ally of the Chinese emperor.
Now you get to Malacca from Kuala Lumpur is easier and most convenient by bus. There is a truth one important nuance, buses leave (and respectively come from Malacca) not from the central bus station "Pudu Bus Station" (the one in chinatown), and with Bandar Tasik Selatan (BTS) and the same name LRT station (ground Metro). It is convenient to reach the bus station to the LRT yellow branch (trains going toward Sri Petaling), or on the train (KTM) blue branch. The price depends on the distance, from 1 to 4 Rm. Tickets can be bought on the day of departure or on the eve of both bus stations. Price 12.5 Rm ($ 4). Flights carry out several companies and some have their own sales cash desks. All buses are approximately the same, clean and in good condition. Economy class has the usual 4 rows of seats, and the business combination is 2 + 1.
Drive 2 hours without stopping views outside the window Rather boring, palm plantations and fields.
In Malacca, the bus station is located almost away from the city, but there are city buses (1 Rm) and in 20 minutes each get to the city center (No. 17) or half an hour before the zoo (№19). It is convenient to get out near the shopping center Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall from where you can walk on foot to all attractions.
