Most people arrive by the daily ferry from Dumai in Sumatra, which docks at
Shah Bandar jetty
on Jalan Merdeka, close to the historical centre and the budget hostel area. There are two bus stations, both located on the northern outskirts of the city, off Jalan Hang Tuah. Buses from Singapore arrive at the
local bus station
. The chaotic
express bus station
is beyond the
taxi station
, a block to the south. From either, it's just a ten-minute walk over the bridge to the town centre.
Batu Berendam Airport
is 9km from the city centre (RM10 by taxi). There's no
train station
in Melaka itself, the nearest being at Tampin, 38km north; buses from Tampin drop you at the local bus station. Other useful information
