Penang is an island of endless discovery. As local experts, here are our tips for the must-do experiences.
The heart of George Town is an open-air art gallery. The most famous works are by Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic, who created interactive murals that blend paintings with real objects. Expert Tip: The most famous mural is “Kids on a Bicycle” on Armenian Street. Grab a map and hunt for them all! We also recommend visiting the Clan Jetties, historic wooden houses built on stilts over the water, which offer a glimpse into the past.

You cannot visit Penang and not eat. It’s often called the food capital of Malaysia. Expert Tip: The three dishes you must try are: Char Kway Teow (smoky, stir-fried flat noodles), Assam Laksa (a spicy and sour fish-based noodle soup), and Cendol (a dessert of shaved ice, coconut milk, palm sugar, and green rice-flour jellies). The best places to find them are at bustling hawker centers like Gurney Drive or Chulia Street Night Hawker Stalls.

For the best view of the island, take the Penang Hill Funicular, one of the world’s steepest funicular railways, to the top. Expert Tip: Go early in the morning to avoid the long queues, which can be over an hour long at peak times. The air is cool and the view of George Town is stunning. Nearby is Kek Lok Si Temple, one of the largest and most impressive Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia. It’s a massive complex built on a hillside, with a towering pagoda and a giant statue of the Goddess of Mercy.
