Butterworth Vacations

Butterworth is close to a range of colorful Penang’s well-known sights. Two of the most interesting places to explore are the fascinating Ninth Emperor God Temple and the remarkable Sunway Carnival Mall. Also, well worth the effort are the Penang Bird Park and the Sultan Abdul Halim Ferry Terminal.

There are plenty of unique museums, exhibits and venues in and around Butterworth. Step inside some of the remarkable exhibit spaces such as the Penang State Museum.

Some popular Penang attractions are within driving distance of the Butterworth area, including the Sri Mariamman Temple, Khoo Kongsi and the Queen Victoria Clock Tower. Admire some of the sacred places such as the St. George's Church, the Kapitan Keling Mosque and the Acheen Street Mosque. Enjoy the atmosphere and get a deeper understanding of the role of religion in the area. Lovers of history will enjoy Fort Cornwallis.

Watch Penang favourites, the Penang Football Association, take on their rivals at the iconic City Stadium. On game days follow the sea of blue and white, to the stadium, then after the final whistle blows, join local soccer lovers at a nearby pub, bar or cafe for a few post-game beers.

After spending the day exploring the delights of Butterworth, get a good nights sleep in one of the area’s popular bed-and-breakfasts, hotels or short-stay apartments. The Eastern And Oriental Hotel, the Hotel Continental and the Bayview Hotel Georgetown Penang are just three of the most popular accommodation options here.
