Is Penang a touristy?

George Town, Penangs capital, has become a major tourist destination in Malaysia because of its colonial architecture; its connection to WWII; and its many green spaces, which include everything from formal botanical gardens to tropical jungle.

How long do you need in Penang?

A five-day stay is ideal for Penang - you can explore further afield as well as enjoy Georgetown, with its awesome food, great street art and generally pleasant vibe! We absolutely loved Penang and could have spent longer than 3 nights there for sure.
