Ipoh Heritage Walk, Perak, Malaysia
4.0 (185 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #8 in Perak Scenic Walking Areas
A great day out in Ipoh!
Ipoh is a fascinating, sprawling city with surprises round every corner. We visited the Old Town district, where there is no better way to get a feel of the city’s colonial heritage than by following the famous Heritage Trail. Depending on what you choose to do, the trail can last from a couple of hours to an entire day. From classic colonial architecture, to chic bistros and shops, to a historic multi-story car park to an old opium den, there really is something for everyone! After mid-morning it can get very hot, but there are many places along the route where visitors can stop to enjoy a coffee or explore the local cuisine. To follow the trail, we used the smartphone app produced by Ipoh City Council. This app is excellent. It contains just enough interesting historical information about each attraction, and is very easy to navigate.

If you are new to Ipoh, then please take this heritage walking trail to learn and experience yourself the historic city of Ipoh. Along the trail, you will see many historic buildings, monument, clocktower, etc. There are a few signboards with information about the historic spots you are at.
