Step back in time with a trip to Georgetown, Malaysia’s most colourful city
Situated in the northeastern sector of Penang, George Town, also spelled Georgetown, is the perfect city to stroll around atmospheric streets lined with heritage architecture at your own pace. The town was designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 2008, and now it is a melting pot of culture, with a lot of things to do and experience. You can enjoy wandering around alley-ways and side-streets filled with incredible illustrations and murals, take a look at classic colonial examples of architecture, explore Little India with the oldest Hindu temple in Penang - Sri Mahamariamman, visit the sacred Kuan Yin Teng Temple in Chinatown, and taste local dishes from fantastic food courts and hawker centres.
