Penang/Malacca
We are traveling to Malaysia next month. We plan to spend 3 days in Penang and 3 in Malacca. I've been trying to look for suggestions as to what to do in Malacca. Should we book a tour or just visit on our own? Are there any must sees?

In Malacca there is a tour bus that takes you aroud...one of the hop on, hop off type. It has 2 loops. I think we rode around both and on the 2nd pass got on and off where we wanted to. Only abou 1 hr on each loop. We met some delightful Maylasian school girls who wanted to practice their English. Save some time to walk thru the shops. Many in old courtyard of old homes. Two days is enough.

Melaka depends on your interests. It is, in many ways, Malaysia's culture capital. There are more than 20 museums, most of which are scattered around St Paul's hill. That said, I'd have to agree with the above, that two FULL days in Melaka is more than enough.
