Places to visit in George Town

You won't need to venture too far to encounter some notable attractions. Fort Cornwallis and the Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi are an easy walk from the middle of this neighborhood.

Nothing gives us a look into past times quite like old houses. Why not join a tour group around Pinang Peranakan Mansion and hear a few stories about the happenings behind its walls? Need more close by options? It's often said that knowledge is power. With that in mind, you'll definitely feel more powerful after spending some time at Camera Museum. And that's not all there is. Temples have long attracted pilgrims searching for divine enlightenment in a physical world. Walk around the hallowed site of Sri Mariamman Temple and enjoy your own quiet reflection.
