Staying near Armenian St. Happy to walk 20 min. Heat is brutal though.

The UNESCO core is walkable 7–10am and after 5pm — Armenian St to Komtar is 15–20 minutes on foot. Midday: hide in a kopitiam or Grab (RM6–12 within GT off-peak). Free CAT bus loops the heritage zone and is underrated for tired legs. Gurney, Air Itam, and Balik Pulau always need Grab. Heat and humidity beat most visitors by noon — plan food walks for morning and evening.

Rent bicycle morning only if confident — traffic lanes tight. I wouldn't bike at night.

Street art map from tourism office — we walked 8km before lunch then Grab to New Lane.
