Day 5: Georgetown 

Here’s what I have to say about Georgetown: Don’t plan your time too closely. Start the Penang Museum and Art gallery, where you’ll get a brilliant overview of the island’s history and cultures. then just spend your time walking through the streets. Attractions are all situated within walking distance, but don’t rush: Take time to peek in the doors and snack on the local treats you’ll find along the way. Just make sure you’re at the Cheong Datt Tze Mansion in the time for the 11 am or 3 pm tour – consider it a must! Afterward, mosey over to the E&O Hotel for either lunch or high tea in the old colonial dame.

Day 6: Penang Hill 

The funicular train up the side of Penang Hill was originally built in 1923 to take British colonials up to the cooler climate of the hill, where they built lovely country homes and gardens. The new funicular railway will open in 2011. Get there before 9 am to beat the long queue. At top of the hill, you’ll find restaurants, temples, and trails, one of which will lead you down to the botanical gardens.
