Written and illustrated by regular visitor Paul Perton, our resident professional photographer and Cape Town dweller, InSight: George Town is a self-guided meander around one of Malaysia’s most historical and picturesque cities.
These walks will take you beyond tourism, into the historic heart of the city where centuries of history can be seen cheek by jowl with the modern-day. Each walk will easily fit into a morning or afternoon – follow the routes we describe, or start with one and then strike out on your own – the city is full of pictures and surprises.
Along with introductory text, each walk comes with directions in the form of a street guide as well as walk suggestions.
