Questions about this trip

Is 7 days enough for Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Penang?

Seven days covers the main sights with one or two days per city plus travel time. Book intercity flights and trains two weeks ahead for the lowest fares.

Do I need to book Marina Bay Sands SkyPark tickets ahead?

Booking online is not required but is a good idea for sunset, the busiest time. Daytime slots are usually available on the day.

How do I travel from Kuala Lumpur to Penang?

Take the ETS train from KL Sentral to Butterworth, about four hours, then the ferry to George Town. Book on the KTMB site or app a few days ahead, as trains fill up at weekends and holidays.

Do I need cash for Gurney Drive Hawker Centre?

Many stalls are cash only, though some accept QR payments. Most hawker dishes cost around 10 to 20 MYR.
