A UNESCO World Heritage Site Since 2008
Tour Overview
Three nights based inside George Town's core heritage zone, with each day built around a different layer of the old town — the murals and wire sculptures hidden down its narrow lanes, the stilt houses of the clan jetties, the shophouses and temples of its multicultural streets, and the hawker stalls that make Penang Malaysia's undisputed food capital. This is a walking city, paced to wander rather than rush.
Highlights include Ernest Zacharevic's "Children on a Bicycle" and the other murals of Armenian Street, an evening among the stilt houses of the Chew Jetty clan settlement, the incense-filled Kapitan Keling Mosque and Sri Mahamariamman Temple along Harmony Street, and a hawker-stall food crawl through Chulia Street and the New Lane night market.
