Penang City Hall

Penang City Hall is a striking white colonial-style building located by the sea in George Town. Built in 1903, it is a popular spot for photography, showcasing beautiful architecture that blends European and Asian styles. Nearby, there is a public park where visitors can relax and stroll. The City Hall is situated next to the Penang Town Hall, a yellow building.

This white building, designed in British Colonial style, attracts tourists for its photogenic appeal.

Located by the sea at the Esplanade, it is easily accessible via the free CAT bus service and is close to many other attractions. It is an ideal spot for capturing stunning architectural photos, enjoying the pleasant atmosphere, and feeling the cool sea breeze. Perfect for a leisurely walk and scenic views.

Visitors cannot enter the building as it is still used as a government office.

You can reach the location by walking or taking the free CAT (Central Area Transportation) bus, which runs around George Town and passes through the UNESCO World Heritage area.
