Christ Church, Malacca vs Church of Saint Paul, Malacca
Two churches in Malacca. Christ Church, Malacca has no online ticket listed; Church of Saint Paul, Malacca has no online ticket listed. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
The church is the red building on the square that every visitor to Malacca photographs, opposite the old Dutch town hall, and it is free to enter with a donation box inside. There is nothing to book. Walking tours of the historic centre cover the square, the hill with the ruined Portuguese church above it, the remaining fort gate and the shophouse streets across the river, and take about two hours;
The ruins of Saint Paul's Church stand on top of Saint Paul's Hill in the historic centre of Malacca, Malaysia, above the Dutch Square with its red buildings, and entry is free. The hill is reached by stairs from the Stadthuys or from the Porta de Santiago gate of the old Portuguese fortress, A Famosa, and the climb takes a few minutes. The ruins offer views over the city and the Strait of Malacca.
