George Town, Penang needs little introduction to most visitors. An obvious entry point into the Malay peninsula, it is in fact a city and best explored on foot.

Repeat visitors find comfort in their familiarity with a network of heritage interests – walking tours of Peranakan food, ghostly abodes, art murals or book locations. Tradition and legend charmingly criss crossing the city’s rapid urbanisation.
