  • Nice surroundings. Great place to take some pictures and appreciate the colonial architecture. A lot of areas to sit and gain new perspective on the square including near the fountain and surrounding areas. Food and merchandise stalls are available adjacent to the square. I had hoped for more historical information as both the Church and the buildings are not accessible to visitors during the time of visit. Definitely the highlight of Melaka and a Must-Visit.
  • A very beautiful place to visit and walk in have lots of photos suitable to visit all the day Morning, noon, afternoon and evening The best time for me is at sunset you must go up the hill (not too much hiking) and see all the city view You can walk, eat, take snacks, take the river tour, visit the historical places and have a nice day
