Package holiday to Penang

Penang, the Pearl of the Orient, is a Malaysian island known for its unique cultural heritage, world-famous street art scene, and arguably the best street food in Asia. George Town, the capital, combines British colonial architecture, Chinese clan houses, Indian temples, and Malay mosques in its UNESCO-protected historic center.

The street art scene began in 2012 with the murals of Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic and has since developed into a citywide open-air gallery. Children on a bicycle, a boy on a chair — the life-sized motifs have become famous worldwide. In addition, wrought iron caricatures tell the story of the various neighborhoods.

Penang's culinary reputation is legendary: Char Kway Teow (fried rice noodles), Assam Laksa (sour fish soup), and Cendol (ice dessert with coconut milk) attract food lovers from around the world. The hawker culture is so deeply rooted that some stalls have been perfecting the same recipes for generations. The Kek Lok Si Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in Southeast Asia, and Penang Hill offers a cooler retreat with panoramic views over the island and the mainland.

Penang particularly impresses with stunning beaches, fascinating culture. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
