Safety tips

Insiders’ tips
Insiders’ tips
- Explore more than just the walking route given to you. Side lanes and street art hidden from plain view offer a new insight into Ipoh.
- Start out your walk with an empty stomach as you’ll find a lot of interesting places to eat along your walk.
- Morning would be the best time to complete the walking tour as it won’t be so sunny. Walking through the heritage trail at night isn’t as safe and exciting as it is during the day!
- If you choose to go for a guided tour, the tour usually starts around 8am - 10am. You can find out at the information centre.
- No fees for the guided tour. However, it’s a good gesture to treat your guide to a meal if you wish to do so!
