This brand new edition Insight Pocket Guide is the ideal companion for your trip to Penang and Langkawi. Expertly written by a local author, it brings you the very best of the islands in a series of 14 carefully planned itineraries, covering everything from key historical and religious sites to the islands' beautiful beaches. You can pick the tour to suit the time you have to spare; either half-day, full-day or overnight excursion, so whether you are staying for a few days or a few weeks, you will see the very best of Penang and Langkawi. Each route is clearly marked on a detailed and fully-indexed, pull-out map that can be used in conjunction with the guide or independently. The guide also features a 'Leisure Activities' section, covering shopping, eating out and nightlife, and a calendar of events ensures you won't miss out on any of the cultural festivals. The invaluable 'Practical Information' section covers accommodation, transport, currency, health, local vocabulary and much more.
