Holidays in Penang

The world too big and brilliant not to explore. See another side of Penang by visiting Penang, an area located 0.1 kilometres to the south. Penang International Airport is the nearest airport and the arrival point for many travellers. Once you've grabbed your bags from the carousel and left the terminal, you'll need to travel 16 kilometres northeast to get to Penang.

Penang is a sightseer's paradise. A good deal of the city's attractions are dotted near this fascinating neighbourhood, including the Kek Lok Si Temple and Penang Hill. The have-to-see sights of Fort Cornwallis and the Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi are also on your doorstep. For another perspective on Penang, head to Chinatown and Little India, close-by neighbourhoods just waiting to be discovered.

You don't have to search too hard for things to do in the centre of Penang. Pinang Peranakan Mansion and the Camera Museum will capture your attention for hours. Alternatively, take a look around Clan Jetty and the Wat Chaiya Mangkalaram.

Learn new things about the area at the Studio Howard, the P Ramlee Gallery, the Tan Kongsi and the Pinang Gallery. These cultural attractions are not to be missed!

If you've got a taste for arts and culture, you shouldn't miss the One East Museum, the Batik Painting Museum Penang, the Ibox Museum of Glass Penang and the Made In Penang Interactive Museum. Walk around and if anything touches you, ask the staff for information about its background.

From interactive activities to curious objects and artefacts, museums have something for visitors of all ages. If you get stuck with a rainy day, why not head over to the Penang Islamic Museum, Penang Vintage Toy Museum and Alpha Utara Gallery?

Get some exercise at the Penang Botanic Gardens and the Penang Botanical Gardens. A hike through any of these leafy reserves will recharge your spirits.

Quite often, the simplest way to get to know the locals is by walking around the shops. Remember to stop by Prangin Mall, 1st Avenue Mall, Straits Quay Mall and Pulau Tikus Market.

Learn some lessons from the past at a selection of the area's time-weathered sites, such as Penang City Hall, the Penang State Museum, the Queen Victoria Clock Tower and the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion.

The Sri Mariamman Temple, St. George's Church, Holy Spirit Cathedral and the Kapitan Keling Mosque offer sightseers a chance to better understand the region's religious side.

Slip on some blue and white and join the crowds of fanatic soccer supporters with an undying love for the Penang Football Association. All of the action goes down at City Stadium, only a short commute from Penang.

Hotels in Penang

Whether you're on the lookout for a basic room to lay your head or one with all the fancy extras, Penang has you covered. For a good night's sleep that won't break the budget, book yourself in at the Heritage Sixteen (16 Lebuh Cranarvon) or the Wil House (50 & 52, Lebuh Leith). However, if you'd rather live in luxury on holiday, the Shangri-La’s Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa, Penang or the Eastern And Oriental Hotel will more than fit the bill.
