Activity itinerary

Street Art in George Town

  • 1h
Streets of George Town - UNESCO World Heritage Site. The George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site features Malaysia’s best restored and re-adaptive traditional architecture as well as a multitude of heritage trades and arts. The world-renowned ‘Street of Harmony’ reflects the influence of the diverse communities that have made Penang their home. At only 2.5sq km, the George Town World Heritage Site is compact enough to be explored on foot, bicycle or trishaw. According to UNESCO, the city represents an exceptional example of a multicultural trading town in Southeast Asia, forged from the mercantile and civilisation exchanges of Malay, Chinese, Indian and European influences.

Penang Hill

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
You will visit Penang Hill where you will ride a funicular train to its peak at 833m above sea level to enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of Georgetown and mainland Butterworth. Colonial bungalows can be found around this hill due to the British preferring to stay in a cooler climate compared to the hot and humid environment in the city.

Kek Lok Si Temple

  • 2h
Kek Lok Si Temple, one of Southeast Asia's largest Buddhist temples. Marvel at the stunning 7-Tier Pagoda, home to 10,000 Buddhas, which showcases a blend of Thai, Burmese, and Chinese architectural styles. At the heart of the temple stands a magnificent Bronze Statue of the Goddess of Mercy, offering a serene view over the temple grounds.

Chew Jetty

  • 1h
Busy, scenic destination featuring a traditional village of rustic houses on stilts over the water. Stroll on the plank walkway to see locals go about their daily life on the jetty, take nice pictures of harbour view, iconic Penang Ferry and Penang Bridge and buy a trinket or two.
