YWCA Penang
 


YWCA PENANG
is situated on the same road as the State Mosque, the largest mosque in Penang and a photographer’s dream. It is in Georgetown, the heart of the island, yet far away enough from the city bustle.

Getting There

By taxi :
Most city taxis do not use the meter. You may either insist on the meter being turned on or agree on the price before you move off. Taxis normally charge between RM3.00 – RM6.00 for short distances within the city.
   
By trishaw :
Beside the novelty of traveling in the open-fronted three-wheeled vehicle, trishaws allow visitors the opportunity to enjoy the sights in Penang at a leisurely pace. One can also stop at any point to snap pictures or buy souvenirs. There is no standard fare and it would be wise to agree on the price before you get on the trishaw. For extended sightseeing, it is advisable to hire them by the hour.
