I’m a German student with some experience of travel in Malaysia. I instantaneously fell in love with Georgetown and Penang as a whole. The island has all the factors a tourist is looking for – tasty authentic food, diverse cultures, a vibrant art scene, picturesque sunsets, and enchanting landscapes.

Imagine narrow streets with old colonial buildings and small Chinese shops, trishaws riding around, and the smell of freshly stir-fried noodles in the air. You have arrived to Georgetown, the state’s capital city.
