Georgetown Street Art Trail

Penang has become the unofficial capital of street art in Southeast Asia and, during this half-day tour, visitors will see why. A wonderfully vibrant fusion of East and West, Penang manages to embrace its ancient heritage whilst keeping one foot firmly in the present.

The fascinating Georgetown was awarded a UNESCO World Heritage site back in 2008 and has drawn flocks of art and culture seekers ever since. This exceptional walking tour will be led by a locally born guide who will be only too happy to point out the wonderful diversity and impressive creativity of this thrilling city. Expect bright colours, huge murals and infectiously positive residents.

Take in the finest and most impressive examples of street art in the city. Chuckle at the adorable ‘Little Boy with Pet Dinosaur’, pose for pictures next to ‘Children on a bicycle’, and marvel at the artistic skill that has gone into ‘This Old Man’. The tour will take in all of the most famous works of art plus much more besides so be sure to wear comfortable shoes.

After a morning of artistic exploration, enjoy some rest and relaxation at a typical Chinese coffee shop. Here, try mouth-watering local delicacies such as Char Koay Teow (stir-fried flat rice noodles), Lor Bak (minced meat roll) and Penang Laksa (rice noodles in a spicy and sour tamarind-based fish soup) before coffee and dessert.
