The historic port town of Malacca, Malaysia offers a wonderful blend of Asian and European influences. Also spelled Melaka, it bears traces of Malay, Chinese, Indian, Portuguese and Dutch cultures. This varied background is displayed by the colorful trishaws, a form of bicycle-powered rickshaw, that cruise around town. Each driver decorates their trishaw with bright flowers, flashing lights, flags and souvenirs

Trishaw rides can be rather pricey as it’s a tourism product, but think about it, it is easier and more enjoyable to check out Malacca. Some of the trishaw come fully equipped with sound systems and PA speakers so as the rider takes the customers around, you can hear music coming out from the trishaw. The drivers will line up in front of Christ Church on the main square and offer sightseeing excursions.

We recommend for the best time to ride the trishaw is during the night as you will experience the many colourful lights on the trishaws around Malacca in a cooler temperature. Also, be sure to try to bargain the fee for the driver’s. Some driver will offer some cheaper price than the other. Make sure to bring some water along the way as the weather can be quite hot and humid in the day.
