Tourist Attractions in Penang

Penang Tourist Attractions encompass everything of tourism value from heritage sites to infrastructures, and include Chinese temples, Hindu temples, mosques, churches, monuments and more. With the inscription of George Town as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2008, the tourist attractions of Penang will get boost in popularity. Old and dilapidated heritage structures should be restored, if not to its original appearance, at least to a level that will help to maintain it for posterity. At the moment, Penang's position as a heritage site is still being developed, so the World Heritage Site status comes at a time when more attention should be invested in the area that Penang is particularly strong.

Rather than concentrating only on the popular sights, the Penang Travel Tips celebrates all the places that are worthy to be regarded as tourist attractions. To make it easier to digest, we have divided the attractions into specific categories, as listed below. An alternative approach is to view all the attractions in alphabetical order, as found under Penang Tourist Attractions Sight Index.
