WELCOME |
Once
one of the most important cities in the Far East, today Penang
is a mix of beaches and culture, history and relaxation. A
small island located off Malaysia's west coast, Penang holds
a wealth of interest to today's visitor. |
|
WHAT
TO DO |
The Island's capital,
Georgetown, is well worth exploring, with influences from
differing cultures and eras adding to its historic feel. Away
from the coast, Penang is hilly and lush, and getting away
from the beach can be most rewarding. The beach areas along the Island's north coast, however, are the main draw, and offer a relaxed option for a fun-filled holiday. |
WHERE
TO STAY |
Most of the beaches are located along the north of the island,
with bustling Batu Ferringhi being home to a great selection
of places to stay, eat and drink.
Check out the food market in the centre of the resort for
a great selection of local food at low prices. Between here
and Georgetown, Tanjung Bungah is a smaller resort area that
also has a number of hotels. |
HOLIDAY
IDEAS |
Spend a week or two simply relaxing in Penang, or combine Penang with Kuala Lumpur for an interesting twin centre holiday. Penang can also be combined with other locations such as Borneo or Singapore for an excellent multi centre itinerary combining Penang and beyond. |
GETTING
THERE |
Scheduled flights operate daily to Kuala Lumpur from London
Heathrow, with regional departures from around the UK also
available with a change of planes en route. From Kuala Lumpur,
it's a short hop to Penang. |
