Georgetown, Penang Island, Pinang / Penang 10300

Certain old buildings in Georgetown have been given a new lease of life when funny and fascinating graffiti art is painted beautifully on the walls. The mass of the artwork can be found along Armenian Street, Cannon Street, Acheen Street (Lebuh Archeh) and Ah Quee Street. It is quite a fun place to get lost in. Smart shops keep your eyes out for the street art on the gable ends of buildings. Besides having a bicycle rental service at the Armenian Street, you can also find a famous painting where two small children riding a bicycle look almost real.

Nominated as one of the World’s Top 15 Wall Paintings
