Penang, Malaysia 2025

PENANG AT A GLANCE Penang is an island state off the northwestern coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It makes up of two sections – Penang Island, where the capital city of George Town is located, and Seberang Perai, an area on the mainland formerly known as Province Wellesley. Penang’s strategic location along the Straits of Malacca made it an important trading hub for Europe, the Middle East, India, and China for over 500 years. This centuries-long cultural exchange between east and west has endowed the city with a distinct multicultural heritage that’s unlike anywhere else in East and Southeast Asia. When people think of Penang, one of the first things that come to mind is George Town and its heritage houses. George Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to the biggest collection of pre-Second World War houses and shop houses in Southeast Asia. There are many unique well known dishes - Penang Asam Laksa, Fried Koay Teow and Chendol. BEST TIME TO VISIT PENANG Penang is hot and humid year-round with average temperatures around 28°C (82.4°F). It’s hottest around early March with temperatures reaching 32°C (89.6°F). In terms of rain, Penang’s wettest months are September and October, followed by April, May, and November. During December to early February is considered the best time to come to Penang. TRAVELING TO PENANG There are several ways to get to your hotel in George Town which is about 30-40 minutes from Penang International Airport. You can travel by bus, taxi or Grab and airport or hotel transfer. Bus is the cheapest way to get to George Town from the airport. Rapid Penang Bus lines 401, 401A, and 401E operate between the airport and George Town. The fare is around RM 3 each way so be sure to have small bills handy since the driver can’t give you change. Buses run every 30 minutes and take about an hour to get you to the main bus terminals at KOMTAR or the jetty. From there you can either take a taxi or Grab, or walk to your hotel. TAXI or GRAB is the fastest way to get to George Town from the airport. The terminal stand is just outside the arrival area and a taxi to George Town will run you around RM 40. If you have a wifi connection, then you can also use Grab. You can also go upstairs and wait outside the departure terminal for your Grab car. PRIVATE TRANSFER is the most comfortable option but also the most expensive. If you’d like to arrange for a private transfer from the airport to your hotel, then you can book it through airport, your hotel or Klook. WHERE TO STAY ON PENANG ISLAND Most hotels are located mainly in George Town. There are also many accommodations in areas like Batu Feringghi, Tanjung Bungah and Bayan Lepas. You can also make arrangement for farm stay (many durian farms) at western side of Penang. Durian season is June to September, with a smaller season from December to February. George Town is the best place for you to stay in Penang. It’s the capital city of Penang and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is home to the island heritage houses and street art, not to mention some of the island’s best hawker stalls and street food. Batu Feringghi is considered the second most popular place to stay in Penang. It’s in the northernmost part of the island and is home to a long stretch of white sandy beach with plenty of hotels, dining options, and a vibrant nightlife. If you like water sports and want to spend most of your time on the beach, then Batu Feringghi is a good place to consider. Tanjung Bungah is another place to consider if you enjoy water sports and lounging around on the beach. It’s the area between George Town and Batu Feringghi in the northern part of the island. Tanjung Bungah is said to be quieter than Batu Feringghi, so you may want to stay here if a calmer beach atmosphere is what you’re after. Bayan Lepas is located in the southern part of the island. Penang International Airport is in this town. Bayan Lepas is home to many popular attractions like the Snake Temple, Penang War Museum, and Penang Aquarium.
