Penang Bridge
Spanning 8.4km, the iconic Penang Bridge is one of Asia’s longest bridges and provides an unparalleled connection between the island and mainland Seberang Perai. As you traverse it, a breathtaking view of the port city awaits. While stopping on the bridge itself isn’t allowed, many take advantage of its emergency stop areas to snap some photos! A national symbol since 1985, this marvel was then joined in 2013 by Second Penang Bridge – extending further still from Batu Muang to Batu Kawan on land.
By Bus
The Sungai Nibong Bus Terminal, situated in the Bayan Lepas Area, provides an array of connections to and from Kuala Lumpur and Thailand via buses. This terminal serves the whole of Penang Island, with tickets for these routes costing between RM60-80 for travelers bound for Kuala Lumpur.
By Car
Getting around in Penang by hire car is easy. Bayan Lepas is connected to the mainland of Seberang Perai via two bridges – Penang Bridge and 2nd Penang Bridge. These are readily accessible thanks to the North-South Expressway, a connection that links up Peninsular Malaysia’s western coast in its entirety.
