About this list

Why this shortlist

Free walking tours are the single most popular free activity in Penang, and we list every reputable one in town. Many are tip-based, which means you pay what you think the tour was worth at the end.

Aside from walking tours, look for free museum entry days, open-air concerts, and self-guided routes with downloadable maps.
