2025 North Seberang Perai Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#hiddengems Robina Ecopark isn't exactly well known amongst Penangites and tourists, because they're tucked inside Mainland Penang where there are barely any tourists. But locals love the park as it is situated just beside the sea, and there are a lot of space and playground for children to run around and play. Personally, I love it here for the fresh air and scenery! There are also small establishments at the end of the beach where you can enjoy Dim Sum and hot tea after your morning walks. Definitely a must go if you happen to be at Mainland Penang!

We went to Kampung Agong for the second time..this place was amazing with plenty of attractions and they made a lot of photography spot such as giant beehive, stairway to heaven, swings and a lot more.. You're going to spent hours just to take as many photo shots as possible because of the extraordinary views...Dont worry if you feels tired because they provide some cafes for you to relax and enjoy the scenery.. Come check it out... #kampungagong #kampungagongpenang #awesomepic #seberangperai #penang #malaysia

Besides that, there is also a giant swing beside the paddy field accompanied by sunset in the evening. A decoy white grand wooden piano surrounded by paddy fields and hundreds of coconut trees also one of the hot instagrammable spots.

It's a little hard to navigate to the cafe, but with the help of maps, you will be fine! The weather was extremely hot, but we felt perfectly cool in the cafe, despite their design being all glass windows. Great place for casual hangouts and to bring your furry friends as well! Highlights: Amongst all of our orders, the Hojicha, Brownie and Lemon Tart were the winners for us. The brownie was crumbly AND moist at the same time, and the vanilla ice cream on top was a perfect match! Because it was a pet friendly cafe, we met a bunch of friendly corgis and malteses. It was really delightful, and added smiles to the kids. Pricing: Refer to menu in photo sequence. Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bonus kitty photo at the end 😺

Having been in Seberang Jaya a couple of times, the hometown of our relatives, this time I made it a point to dropping by at Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple. Serene, calm and akin you can feel god's presence, we also meet some of the volunteers. Humble down to earth people, who offered us breakfast, but since we had limited time in hand, we politely declined. After saying our prayers, a must each time I am in a place of worship, we walked around to glimpse at this temple. Recognized as the grandest Krishna Temple in Malaysia, this three-storey octagonal temple is as pure as god, as we walked we viewed the 16 ornate pavilions with three main Puti style towers and two glass skylight pyramidal domes in the centre of the temple roof. We also didn’t miss out on the other buildings, including the Bhaktivendanta Cultural Centre that organises Food-For-Life distribution programmes and a variety of community, welfare and religious service, and the Bhaktivedanta Multi-Purpose and Cultural Hall, which is a four-storey building with a 5,000 sq ft hall and performance stage.#deliciousfood #gooutside #summervacation #staycation
