With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Butterworth, 25 miles away, has to offer. KOMTAR, Gurney Drive and Gurney Plaza alone make the drive out worth it. Don’t forget about Taiping either! Just 35 miles away, Zoo Taiping & Night Safari, Taiping Lake Garden and Taiping Golf & Country Club are must-sees here.
