A UNESCO old town of shophouses and street art down every second alley, hawker food regularly named among the best in the world for the price, and a hill station above the heat with a funicular railway to get you there.
The best time to visit Penang is Jan–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 30°C (85°F).
