Indulge in the bohemian mood of Penang
Crossing one of Asia's largest bridges, the famous Penang Bridge, you will find yourself on a small island full of life, which is a jewel for Malaysia and a favorite travel destination for visitors from all over the world.
Walk through the center of the island, which looks like a painting, and admire the colorful murals that adorn its neighborhoods and alleys in the most beautiful way. Let your gaze explore every corner of this particular landscape and fill your camera with a rich collection of unique street artwork. Explore the cultural wealth of the place, experience the charm of its distant past and be transported to another historical era through its great sights.

Of course, you should organise a walk in the favorite Batu Ferringhi beach, which will give you countless moments of fun and relaxation. Peeking out of life all day long, you can enjoy your dives in the crystal clear waters, your sunbathing on the white sand, your drink under the shade of the tall palm trees or a wide variety of water sports that young and old travellers will love.
