Travel to perfect penang

A trip to Penang offers a variety of holidays - a stunning beach break with natural attractions and opportunities for jungle exploring, as well as a city break with the historic and colourful Georgetown, the capital. Penang is well known as the destination to go to in Malaysia for nightlife too and can easily be paired with more relaxed Langkawi or Borneo for an incredible holiday. 

Penang is well known to travellers as an incredible foodie destination too. It has an enormous amount of culinary influences, from the Malay to Chinese and Tamil communities who live there. From the upmarket restaurants in Georgetown, the street food and night markets and the Tropical Spice Garden, there are ample opportunities to learn about Penang through food.

This region is very popular for travellers but there are ways to get off the beaten track and there are eco-tourism attractions such as Penang Hill and Penang National Park for those wanting to see this area's national treasures in a sustainable way. 
 

Some of the best things to do in Penang:

  • soaking up the sun or taking advantage of the watersports on stunning
    Batu Ferringhi beach

  • wandering the city of Georgetown, the centre of which is a UNESCO world heritage site and taking in the varied colourful architecture

  • learning about local Malay flora and fauna and taking a cooking class in the beautiful Tropical Spice Garden

  • sampling delicious local cuisine and on one of the numerous night markets

  • hiking one of the trails up to Penang Hill to see some spectacular views from the top
