The funicular up Penang Hill
About 3 h
Late afternoon
The Penang Hill funicular opened in 1923 and now covers its 2 km in 5 to 10 minutes. At the top are gardens, viewpoints and a walk among the trees; the best visit is just before sunset, as the city lights up below.
Good to know
- We book fast-lane tickets at weekends
- The summit is several degrees cooler than the city
