Before I get to my travel recap of my food during my Malaysia trip, I like to balance eating with activities that generally require a lot of walking. In Penang, my stay at the Blue Mansion Hotel that I just recapped put me very conveniently close to walking to all the trendy areas of George Town. It usually took me less then 10 minutes. So both days I did a lot of searching for and visiting street art. There is so much art in George Town in so many places, some listed some not, that made the art walk both like a quest but also that of surprise finds. I want to share my tips on visiting George Town street art and in general for visiting George Town.

When it comes to visiting Penang, I highly recommend walking around George Town to look at street art as one of the most unique things you can do and one of the top 3 must dos. The street art are mostly murals and span so many different art styles and many show slices of life here to reflect the blending of peoples and cultures that is representative of history or current times here.
