Georgetown on the island of Penang is the culinary heart of Southeast Asia — a UNESCO World Heritage city that combines Chinese, Malay, Indian, and colonial influences into a unique melting pot. The street art scene, featuring the famous murals by Ernest Zacharevic, has put Georgetown on the world map of art.

The old town is a fascinating juxtaposition of Chinese temples, British colonial buildings, Hindu shrines, and mosques. Armenian Street, Chulia Street, and Love Lane are the hotspots for backpackers, cafés, and boutique hotels. The Peranakan heritage — the culture of the Straits Chinese — is evident in the magnificent clan houses and the Pinang Peranakan Mansion.

Penang is primarily a food lover's paradise. The hawker stalls serve some of the best dishes in Asia at unbeatable prices: Char Kway Teow, Assam Laksa, Nasi Kandar, and Cendol are just a few of the highlights. CNN and many food magazines have repeatedly named Penang the best street food destination in the world.

From Kuala Lumpur, Penang can be reached in an hour by flight or by train. The island also offers beaches on the north coast (Batu Ferringhi) and Penang Hill with panoramic views.
