Top neighborhoods in George Town

View of fishing village in Tanjung Tokong, Penang, Malaysia

Tanjung Tokong

Tanjung Tokong offers the perfect blend of beachy relaxation and cultural immersion along Penang's scenic coast. The iconic Floating Mosque rises from tidal waters while traditional temples nestle between modern condos with stunning Straits of Malacca views. Wander the waterfront promenade at sunset or explore the Ibox Museum of Glass during your authentic neighborhood adventure. Fresh seafood restaurants dominate the dining scene with sunset views worth arriving early for. While public transportation is limited, Grab rides are plentiful and coastal paths make for pleasant walks. This peaceful residential area provides a genuine glimpse into local Malaysian life away from the tourist crowds.

If you happen to travel to Penang Island, Malaysia, try this Nasi 7 Benua. Literally translated to English would be 7 Continents Rice. The 7 continents are actually representing the 7 types of rice served on a plate. These 7 types of rice are Nasi putih, nasi tomato, nasi lamuni, nasi lemak pandan, nasi hujan panas, nasi kacang and nasi minyak. For the dishes to be eaten with the rice, feel free to choose from the many selections of chicken, beef, seafood and veggies. This is really good, you should try if you happen to be in Penang!

Bayan Lepas

Bayan Lepas serves up a perfect mix of old-school charm and new-age cool in Penang. The Snake Temple's incense-filled chambers with actual pit vipers will give you stories for days. Nearby beaches at Pantai Teluk Bayu offer quiet retreats, while tech campuses and creative spaces show how this former industrial zone keeps evolving. Don't miss the tropical spice trails or the authentic fishing villages dotting the coastline. Shopping malls and local kopitiams provide plenty of dining options from authentic char kway teow to international cuisine. Most travelers stay in budget hotels or serviced apartments near Penang International Airport. A rental car makes exploring easier, though Grab rideshare services work well for quick trips around this authentically Malaysian suburb.

Beautiful sunset here in Batu Ferringhi, Penang.

Batu Ferringhi

Batu Ferringhi's golden coastline delivers the beach vacation dreams are made of, with parasailing adventures painting colorful streaks across the sky. The famous night market comes alive after sunset with sizzling satay smells and treasure-hunting opportunities around every corner. Water sports enthusiasts can jet ski across turquoise waters while those seeking relaxation can simply sink their toes into the warm sand. Resort restaurants serve up fresh seafood with ocean views, while the night market offers affordable local flavors that won't break the bank. Getting around is easy with taxis and hotel shuttles, though prices run higher than in George Town. International beach resorts line the shore, creating a vacation bubble that's perfectly designed for sun-seekers and wave-chasers alike.

Heritage boutique hotels in restored shophouses offer colonial charm with modern amenities. The area is wonderfully walkable with free shuttle buses connecting major sites every 15 minutes.

Areca Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent
"Good breakfast and coffee, very friendly staff. A well kept clean spacious room, with a great sized bed, comfy pillows and excellent bedding. Quiet air conditioning and two ceiling fans. Powerful shower. Good location. I'm a light sleeper and would recommend earplugs as there is some road and mosque noise or from Majestic if an event is on. The atrium area is a lovely peaceful retreat, comfy seating."
