With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Butterworth, 35 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with KOMTAR, Gurney Drive and Gurney Plaza. Alor Setar is another popular destination. It’s 45 miles away and offers a range of awesome things to see and do. Darul Aman Stadium, Kuala Kedah Fort and Alor Setar Tower are only the start.
