Then we will visit Thian Hock Keng, one of the oldest temples in the country, where sailors used to go to worship the goddess of the sea, Mu Zu, when they arrived in Singapore. Our next stop will be Chinatown, where the Chinese colony that migrated from Xiamen in 1821 settled. We will continue our tour to the National Orchid Garden, which is located within the Singapore Botanic Gardens. It is a pioneer in the research and conservation of this specific kind of flower. In addition, inside you can enjoy more than 60,000 orchids of unparalleled beauty.
At the appointed time, we will depart for Malacca, one of the most fascinating places in Malaysia. Thanks to its fusion of cultures, including Dutch, Portuguese and English, it was awarded the title of World Heritage Site.
At the scheduled time, our English-speaking guide or translator will be waiting for us in the lobby to get to know the true essence of Malacca. We will start our tour at St. Francis Xavier Church, the oldest church in Malaysia. We will continue to Stadthuys, the former residence of the governor of the Dutch colony. This building was painted the same color as Christ Church. Today this building is the Museum of Ethnography of Malacca.

Malaysia is an amazing country to go on a road trip! Within Malaysia there are regions that are so interesting and so different from each other that, in my humble opinion, it would be a big mistake to go there to know only one destination. For this reason, if you decide to undertake this long trip, my advice is to organize a route through Malaysia and Singapore that lasts between 15 and 20 days.
Organizing an itinerary through Malaysia and Singapore on your own is not complicated at all, as they are countries where transportation works very well (especially buses) and many people speak English, so it is not difficult to communicate. In our case, after consulting many travel guides and many blogs, this was the chosen route:
Singapore was the city where we flew to from Barcelona (with a stopover in Istanbul) and it was for us one of the big surprises of the trip: a city from which we did not expect much and that, however, left us totally fascinated.
In Singapore everything is big: its airport, its parks and gardens (with special mention for the Botanical Garden and the Gardens by the Bay) or its luxury hotels (the Marina Bay Sands will leave you open-mouthed). Not to mention its incredible cultural mix with people from all over the world. Find out more about what to see in Singapore in this post.
