Melaka day trip from KL — realistic or rush?

Saturday only free. Leave 7am back 10pm — worth it?

Day trip doable but you miss Fri/Sat Jonker night market — biggest Melaka draw. Leave KL 7am, heritage morning + lunch Jonker 88 + chicken rice balls, drive back 7pm exhausted. OK for repeat visitors; first-timers should overnight. Bus/ETS 4+ hrs round trip eats buffer. If one day only, skip river cruise and museum interiors — walk Dutch Square + food focus.

Weekday day trip less traffic — Saturday Jonker daytime OK without night market.

Did it once — never again without sleep. Heritage needs slow morning.
