Sultan Ibrahim Building – Johor Bahru’s historical administrative landmark

Located in the heart of Johor Bahru, Bangunan Sultan Ibrahim, built in the early 20th century, is the former administrative building of the Johor State Government and a significant example of Johor Bahru's historic architecture. Designed in a colonial style, the building boasts a stately and elegant exterior, blending European and local influences. Once the seat of important Johor state administrative offices, it still retains some office functions and is open to the public for tours. The building not only bears witness to the development of Johor Bahru but also embodies the history of the Johor royal family and its administrative evolution, making it a popular attraction for history buffs and photography enthusiasts. Directions By car: From the Johor Bahru Border Crossing (JB CIQ), it's approximately a 10-minute drive, with parking available nearby. By foot: From Johor Bahru City Square, it's a 7-minute walk. Public transportation: Take a bus to the Johor Bahru city center, and the building's exterior is within walking distance.
