Things to See in Penang

Batu Ferringhi Beach

Those looking for a beach holiday shouldn’t go past Batu Ferringhi Beach on the northern coast of the island. A pristine stretch of sand perfect for sun lovers, and a range of water-based activities to entertain, it is no wonder that the majority of Penang’s luxury resorts are centred in this area.

Lining the shores are a range of restaurants and bars where you can relax and enjoy the vistas, especially as the sun sets over the water. The surrounding area also includes the Penang Butterfly Farm, the Spice Garden, and the Night Market where bargains are to be had!

Georgetown’s Street Art

The state capital, Georgetown, has grown in recent years as a fantastic place to view street art. With murals adorning many walls around the city, the scene has expanded to include a number of caricatures often humorously depicting historical and cultural aspects of life in the region.

Insider’s Tip: The murals also often utilise some of the surrounding architecture or items making them a fun and interactive photo opportunity.

Things to Do in Penang

Penang Hill

Officially known as Flagstaff Hill or Bukit Bendera, this peak towers above the city of Georgetown offering visitors a chance to escape the heat and humidity that dominates sea level. At 812 metres it’s a long way up, but the climb is made easy by the funicular operated by Penang Hill Railway.

With glass surrounds, the journey to the top offers almost as expansive views as the breath-taking panorama that awaits at the summit. Encompassing the whole island, on clear days visitors can see all the way to Langkawi.

Visit Spectacular Temples

With such a mixture of cultures and religions, Penang has a wealth of temples to cater to its population. The most impressive is the Kek Lok Si Temple which is the largest Buddhist temple complex in Southeast Asia and sits in beautifully landscaped gardens. With pagodas, statues, sculptures, and carvings, the temple is a focal point for Buddhism for both locals and pilgrims.

Although overflowing with temples, the Snake Temple is definitely a little different. Literally filled with snakes, this temple is not for the faint of heart. The snakes themselves are mostly docile and laze around peacefully, but they are vipers so make sure to leave them to their own meditation!

Hit the Streets

As with most Southeast Asian cities, the evenings come alive with local markets and street food vendors offering mouth-watering meals that will have you salivating. From staples such as Char Koay Teow to Penang Laksa, the region has become synonymous with amazing cuisine blending the lines between cultures, with many becoming international superstars.

Insider’s Tip: There are many places to try the local cuisine with two of the best being the Gurney Drive Hawker Centre on the seafront and Chulia Street Night Hawkers Market in the city centre.

On top of a good night’s sleep, business class passengers enjoy the benefits of lounge access both at their departure airports and the connecting airport so that you can relax or even have a shower before heading to the gate.
