[2025 Melaka Attraction] Travel Guide for Muzium Samudera (Flor de La Mar) (Updated May)

#Share travel plan Share a travel plan for Malaysia KL-MELAKA-JOHORBHARU If anyone gets on a plane and lands at KL airport, you can rent a car from the airport and travel here. We will start from Johorbharu to Malacca and KL. Day 1: Legoland Johor Bharu Drive from KL for 4 hours. Legoland here is divided into 3 parts: rides, amusement park, aquarium and water park. I must say that the aquarium is not worth the price. But the other parts are okay. The only downside is that the weather is a bit hot. After entering Legoland, drive to Malacca because Malacca hotels are cheaper. The food is also cheaper. Day 2: Visit Malacca city at Dutch Square. Next to Dutch is Musium Samudera. The downside is that the weather is hot all year round. After taking pictures, go to sleep at a hotel in L. Day 3: Leave the hotel and go to Genting Amusement Park, both indoor and outdoor. The weather is good. The rides are fun. I am impressed. After playing, we went back to the hotel to rest again. Day 4: Merdeka, we traveled in KL city, we went to the KLCC Twin Towers, nearby there is Saloma Bridge where people come to take pictures, we went to Merdeka near the walking street, there is quite a lot of traffic in the city and it is hard to find parking, we had to park in the mall and walk around to take pictures at the places we marked. After that, we went home, ending our Malaysia trip in a hurry. #kualalumpur #johorbahru #melaka

Malacca is steeped in history, and nowhere is this more evident than at the Maritime Museum. Here, you'll find a stunning replica of the Flor de la Mar, a legendary Portuguese galleon that met a watery grave in the Strait of Malacca. This majestic vessel was once the pride of the Portuguese fleet, carrying immense wealth plundered from the Sultanate of Malacca. Its tragic demise, laden with treasure, has fueled countless legends and treasure hunts. While the real Flor de la Mar remains lost to the depths, the replica offers a glimpse into the ship's grandeur and the era of maritime exploration. #malaccacity #malaysiatrip #songkran2024 #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #trip

#cherryblossom25 The replica of the largest Carrack built in colonial times is a sight to behold in Melaka.

#malaysiatrip This small boat is actually a museum# Opening a New Year with a Journey Hello everyone, I am passionate about sharing. This time, I would like to introduce to you the Malaysia C-Liujia Maritime Museum. When we were at the rotating tower, we could see a large ship lying on land. It was only after a search that we found out it was actually a museum. This ship was built based on the flowers of a large Portuguese high-speed ship in the ocean, and it looks very realistic. Almost a century ago, the Flower of the Sea sank near the Strait of Liujia. The cabin of the ship houses many treasures from the Liujia city and the endless ocean customs, each with three layers Visits require purchasing tickets, adult tickets should be in Malaysian Ringgit. Attention, you need to take off your shoes when entering the showroom.

From far you may already seen the replica of Flor de La Mar, the big Portuguese ship. This museum is all about the maritime activities in the golden era of Malacca. Great collection of ships and artifact. The ship has 3 levels. You enter on the second level which combines with the 1st floor through a spiral stairs. This part contains most of the attractions. On the 3rd floor is the captains cabin. Out side of the ship under the stairs there is a shop which sells miniature replicas of ships. Further down there is an indoor muzium complex. Its a great place to bring childrens to let them learn and feel inside the ship. Many articles and artifact can be seen here from Portugese and Netherland invasion of Malacca. Overall a good place to visit. Nice view also near with shore. ❤️ #mymymemories #happytrip #awesomepic #mustcome #besttimeever #best_trip_by_trip #bestdeal #awesometrip #tripcom

#malaka It was the first overseas travelling together for me and my then girlfriend, current wife. Thus, it was exciting for me when we travelled to Malacca Malaysia. One of the places we went to was one of the most iconic landmark Muzium Samudera (Flor de La Mar). We had great experience as we got to go on board the ship to have a feel what was it like to be on board an ancient ship. From there, we got to enjoy the view of the sea. There was also a musuem to showcase some artifacts.

#museum

Maritime Museum is a ship replica with educational exhibits inside. Given the ship is very old but taking pictures outside is something you will appreciate better than exploring what really inside. There is a little fee to get inside though. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
