Questions about this product
How do I get from Penang Airport to George Town?
PEN is in the south of the island. A direct drive to George Town takes about 40–75 minutes, longer in heavy traffic. The guide compares taxi, prebooked transfer, app rides and Rapid Penang buses. As a budget reserve for a direct car it gives MYR 40–90 per vehicle, which is a planning figure, not a fixed fare.
Where should I stay in Penang?
For a first trip with a culture focus, George Town's old town has the shortest walks to house museums, lanes and food. Batu Ferringhi suits beach and pool time, and Bayan Lepas makes sense for a last night before an early flight. The guide compares all six areas.
Is the Penang guide up to date?
The editorial research is from 1 October 2026. Prices, timetables and opening hours change, so the guide lists official sources you can check before each day.
Which language is the guide in?
German. The Penang guide is currently available as a German edition only.
Is anything shipped?
