Get to know the Penang that locals know by exploring Jelutong. A suburb 4 kilometres to the southwest, it's an awesome place to get a feel for the area and those who live in it. Penang International Airport is the closest airport and the jumping off point for your adventure. To make your way to the neighbourhood from here, hail a taxi, drive northeast for 12 kilometres and enjoy the journey!
Many of this city's top attractions are sprinkled near Jelutong, and the Kek Lok Si Temple and Penang Hill are two of the most impressive. Don't forget to put Fort Cornwallis and the Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi on your checklist too. For a better perspective of this vibrant city as a whole, spend some time in the nearby neighbourhoods of Air Itam and Georgetown.
The centre of the city also features a collection of sights to feast your eyes upon, such as Pinang Peranakan Mansion and the Camera Museum. You'd be mad to go back to your hotel room without stopping by Clan Jetty and the Wat Chaiya Mangkalaram as well.
Keen to give the noggin a workout? The Studio Howard, the P Ramlee Gallery, the Tan Kongsi and the Pinang Gallery are some leading cultural sites.
Sometimes a work of art can impress you so much that you just have to learn more about it. See if the staff can inform you about the works at the One East Museum, the Batik Painting Museum Penang, the Ibox Museum of Glass Penang and the Owl Museum.
Sometimes it's the biggest and best exhibits that catch our eye. Other times it's a neglected gem that's been hidden in a dusty corner. Keep a lookout for both at the Penang Islamic Museum, Penang Vintage Toy Museum and Alpha Utara Gallery.
The Penang Botanic Gardens and the Penang Botanical Gardens can give you a glimpse into the plants, trees and birds that inhabit the local area.
The shopping experience is different for everyone. Whether you have something in mind or just happy to browse, you can't miss a trip to Queensbay Mall, Prangin Mall, 1st Avenue Mall and Pulau Tikus Market.
Head over for a hands-on history lesson at Penang City Hall, the Penang State Museum, the Queen Victoria Clock Tower and the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion. Looking at pictures in a book just doesn't compare!
Whether you want to learn a little bit more about the region's traditions and customs or just soak up the serene surrounds, go to the Sri Mariamman Temple, St. George's Church, Holy Spirit Cathedral and the Kapitan Keling Mosque.
Get ready to don your blue and white and cheer as passionately as you can. Home to the Penang Football Association, City Stadium is the perfect spot to get your fill of soccer entertainment.
Thrifty travellers can rest easy. Budget rooms await at the Heritage Sixteen and the Wil House. These digs are proof that great service doesn't need to cost an arm and a leg. Or maybe you'd rather indulge yourself in more luxurious surrounds? Then let the friendly staff at the Shangri-La’s Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa, Penang and the Eastern And Oriental Hotel take care of your every need.
