Medan Samudera, Melaka

Medan Samudera is a must-visit destination for those who appreciate local handicrafts. Conveniently situated opposite the Maritime Museum, this two-story shop is dedicated to traditional Melaka crafts, making it an ideal spot to purchase unique gifts for family and friends.

While the Bandar Hilir area is not vast, walking around can be tiring, especially when visiting attractions like the Maritime Museum or Dataran Studthuys. Medan Samudera serves as a perfect rest stop for weary tourists. The ground floor features a variety of souvenir shops, while the second-floor houses a food court offering a range of Malay Melaka cuisine, including popular dishes like asam pedas.

The majority of the shops in Medan Samudera focus on selling souvenirs, including keychains, t-shirts, women's clothing, and various craft items like food covers and baskets. While the selection is somewhat more limited compared to places like Pahlawan Walk, the shops here still offer a charming array of local goods.
