Tips

If you have extra time, consider adding a half‑day trip to the historic town of Malacca or a visit to the Sunway Lagoon theme park for more family fun. To shorten the itinerary, you can combine Day 3’s shopping with Day 1’s city centre activities and skip the evening rooftop bar, allowing an early departure on Day 5.
