The 10 Best Penang Shopping Malls to Visit in 2024

Bukit Jambul Complex is a South-of-the-island institution that’s hard to beat. As it serves a portion of Penang island that’s quite a journey from George Town, it tends to be very packed, especially on weekends. This is also a favourite destination for many immigrant workers who live and work in the south of the island.

In terms of posh scale, it is Prangin Mall’s southern equivalent, without space — when it’s packed, it’s a bit cramped, and finding a parking spot in their huge annexed lot can also be a time-consuming affair. Long known to be one of the best for cheap electronic repairs, I believe it’s at par with Prangin Mall and ICT Digital Mall these days. Very good if you like crowds, but besides, pretty handy only if you live on the southern side of the island.

Most people shop on Penang island, but there are several important Shopping Malls also on the mainland at Seberang Perai. If you come here, don’t forget to check out our guides to Penang Mainland’s Best Hiking Trails, which include Bukit Juru and the turquoise water pools of Frog Hill. And of course, with all it has to offer in terms of food and attractions, check out our list of the best things to do in Bukit Mertajam and the best hotels in Bukit Mertajam.
