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 area adventure. Fresh seafood restaurants dominate the dining scene with sunset views worth arriving early for. While public transport 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 travellers stay in budget hotels or serviced apartments near Penang International Airport. A hire car makes exploring easier, though Grab rideshare services work well for quick trips around this authentically Malaysian suburb.

Batu Ferringhi

Batu Ferringhi's golden coastline delivers the beach holiday dreams are made of, with parasailing adventures painting colourful 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 flavours 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 holiday bubble that's perfectly designed for sun-seekers and wave-chasers alike.

During this time, you can explore family-friendly temples, dine at budget-friendly restaurants, visit fascinating museums, and stroll through charming shopping areas. You can also enjoy romantic walks along the beach, all while ensuring great value for money on your trip. With prices potentially dropping during this period, it's an ideal time for those travelling on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to George Town on Hotels.com, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals section, where you may find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. To ensure you stay informed about flash sales and special last-minute promotions, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com. The Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, giving you insight into your options. This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you're more likely to see these updates first and seize the opportunity for a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could lead to potential savings on your stay at a hotel in George Town. If you're seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value.
