#johorbahruguide Explore Johor Bahru city and Enjoy Delicious Food Johor Bahru (JB) is a vibrant city right across the causeway from Singapore, offering a warm mix of historic architecture, bustling markets, and growing modern malls. Youโ€™ll find everything from street stalls serving piping-hot nasi lemak to sleek rooftop bars tucked among heritage buildings. Stroll through the Heritage District to enjoy shophouses and colorful street art, or step into City Square Mall for convenient shopping and a quick film. Donโ€™t miss the Sultan Abu Bakar Mosqueโ€”its Victorian-era faรงade and hilltop setting offer both serenity and sweeping views. Come evening, head to Jalan Tan Hiok Nee or Jalan Wong Ah Fook for a lively food crawl filled with local flavors and community energy. Getting around JB is easy with Grab cars, local buses, or a brisk walk from JB Sentral if you're coming in from Singapore. JB is more than just a gatewayโ€”it's an exciting cultural hub with its own identity, making it a great addition to any regional trip. #JohorBahru #ExploreJB #MalaysiaTravel #JBFoodie #CityWithCharacter #CulturalMalaysia #JBHistory #LocalGemsJB #WeekendInJB #TravelMalaysia #couplestrip #explore #staycation #travel #naturalwonders #afternoonteatime
