Route
George Town → Penang Hill → Food & Clan Jetties
A field-tested 3-day Penang plan: George Town heritage and street art on day 1, Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si on day 2, and food plus the clan jetties on day 3.
Follow our 1-day Penang itinerary's morning plan at a slower pace — the clan houses, Peranakan mansions, Harmony Street's mosques and temples, and the street art hunt along Armenian and Cannon Streets, with no afternoon rush to Penang Hill today.
Morning funicular up Penang Hill for the view and The Habitat's canopy walk, then Kek Lok Si Temple in Air Itam on the way back into town. Late afternoon, walk the clan jetties — Chew Jetty specifically — for Penang's last-standing stilt-village waterfront community, now dotted with small cafes and shops but still genuinely inhabited.
Combines the hill, the temple and a food stop into one guided day.
From $134
Dedicate day 3 to Penang's actual reputation: a guided food tour through assam laksa, char kway teow and cendol stops you'd otherwise never find, or a trip to Balik Pulau, the island's rural west side, known for durian orchards and a slower-paced countryside contrasting sharply with George Town's density.
The dedicated food day Penang's reputation demands.
From $84
Yes — it comfortably covers George Town's heritage and street art, Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si, the clan jetties, and a dedicated food day without feeling rushed.
