30 days in Alor Setar Itinerary

The capital of the state of Kedah on the west coast of the Malaysian Peninsula, Alor Setar ranks as the tenth-largest city in Malaysia by population.

Kids will appreciate attractions like Aman Central and Zahir Mosque. Venture out of the city with trips to Sunway Carnival Mall (in Seberang Jaya), Sungai Petani (Dataran Zero Kilometer, Sungai Petani Clock Tower, &more) and Bukit Mertajam Recreational Forest (in Bukit Mertajam). There's still lots to do: visit Little India - Penang, take an in-depth tour of Lembah Bujang Archaeological Museum, get outside with Gunung Jerai, and admire the striking features of City Hall.
