Inilah menaranya yang berketinggian 110 meter dari paras laut. Perjalanan sepenuhnya turun dan naik merangkumi tempoh 7 minit sahaja. Naik 1 minit, berada di atas dan berpusing selama 5 minit sebelum turun semula selama 1 minit. Walaupun bayarannya agak tinggi namun, apa salahnya jika anda mencubanya sekali bila datang ke Melaka. Memang menarik!!.

Menara Taming Sari ini dibina mengikut bentuk keris keramat milik Hang Tuah iaitu Taming Sari. Hang Tuah kebal apabila menggunakan keris ini dan sukar untuk dibunuh. Itulah kelebihan keris Taming Sari. Ia adalah salah satu tarikan pelancong baru di Melaka Bandaraya Bersejarah ni.
