Penang's UNESCO-listed George Town packs clan houses like Khoo Kongsi, the Blue Mansion and Pinang Peranakan Mansion, the Clan Jetties and the 'Mirrors George Town' murals into walkable streets, with Gurney Drive's hawker stalls for dinner. Ride the funicular up Penang Hill, visit Kek Lok Si's pagoda, or hike Penang National Park and see Entopia's butterflies.

Good to knowThe Blue Mansion runs guided tours at fixed times with limited places, so book ahead. Entopia closes on Wednesdays. Rapid Penang buses reach Kek Lok Si and Penang National Park. Clan Jetties are residential, so keep noise down.
