Top Ten Penang Attractions provide you a sampling of everything that is exciting about Penang. What is Penang's Top Ten Attractions, according to Penang Travel Tips? You find them here. Although Penang Travel Tips lists over three hundred tourist attractions in Penang, there are still sights which I have not yet documented, so check back as I am regularly documenting and adding sights to Penang Travel Tips.

The listing of Top Ten Penang Attractions is based on my own recommendation, not through popular survey. Naturally each person will have his own preference. What I have listed here is based on what I feel are the very interesting things about Penang, and at the same time, selected to give you a wide range of possibilities. Therefore, whether you are a nature lover, history buff or shopper, there is something listed here that I consider to be the top item in each category. If you don't have the time to see all the sights in Penang, these Top Ten Attractions is my own pick of what you should be visiting. The attractions are not arranged in any particular order, except alphabetically, as they represent specific interest.
