Free yourself from the the hustle and bustle of the city with a visit to Melaka Botanical Garden. The lush greenery is part forest reserve and part recreational park. Rent an electric buggy or a bicycle to get around the massive garden. Even better, walk or jog on the paved trails. The highlight of the day is a congratulatory sign to mark a certain mile in your walk. Yay for mother nature!
