The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Johor Bahru District, Johor

April 14, 2022 Jacquiline Darosa

A bargain shopper’s delight is just across the causeway in Malaysia, with numerous bus and train services available to ferry travelers across the border. The largest and most popular malls are easily accessible from the checkpoint and offer a blend of name-brand and knockoff shopping. Dig deeper and you’ll appreciate the city’s differences, good and bad, from Singapore, though rumors of rampant crime are overblown. Museums and places of worship abound, along with good dining for any budget. A new premium outlet mall opened just outside the city in December 2011, and keep an eye on the new Legoland Malaysia, slated to open at the end of 2012.

Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque

Commissioned in 1900 by Sultan Abu Bakar--a much respected monarch widely referred to as the 'Father of Modern Johor'-- this grand mosque can accommodate 2,000 worshippers.

Reviewed By shanona686

A Majestic Mosque of Victorian Architecture with unique Moorish designs, an added feature. Stands proud on a hill overlooking the Straits Aglow in the sun or moon among the world's greats! Named after Abu Bakar, a great Sultan of Johor, Though an Anglophile, his actions were folklore. For his people he wanted a large Mosque, on par With any in the world, a symbolic icon, a spar! Highly recommended to see this monument that harmonizes Islam in a Victorian element. Built circa 1900 Abu Bakar's dream mosque but completed by Ibrahim as an earnest task! Dr. Shanon

Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple

Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom

The Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple is a Hindu temple and reputedly the oldest in Malaysia. From the exterior, it’s an innocuous looking South Indian style temple with a gopuram. Inside the temple looks far more elaborate as it’s completely decorated in glass and glass mosaic. The decoration looks heavily influenced by Thai Buddhist temples, except that this temple has taken the glass to the extreme of having the glasswork everywhere. Other than the eye catching glassworks, the temple is fairly typical of Hindu temples with statues of deities dotted around the temple. Surprisingly, the temple also has sculptures of figures from religions including Christianity and Buddhism. Overall, a pretty temple with eye-catching interiors. The temple is to the north of the city centre and can be a pain to get to, especially if walking. I thought it was worth it nevertheless.

Reviewed By Muguncjb2015 - Chennai (Madras), India

The temple is located in the midst of town area. However, the temple and surrounding looked cleanly maintained. The brightly painted temple tower/gopuram looked beautiful from outside with ornate carvings and devotional artwork. After prayer, find peaceful to spent some time inside. A must visit in Johor Bahru.

Puteri Harbour

Reviewed By MamaSnapSnap - Darwin, Australia

We visited Thomas Land / Hello Kitty world at Puteri Harbour by WTS Travel from Singapore. It had a few shops/restaurants around. (If your a super hero fan, there’s a DC themed cafe there that serve dinner and snacks in a plastic Batman case!!! AND we had 6 drinks, 6 large meals and it cost us $40 Malaysia dollars) Hello kitty “land” was disappointing. It was small, few little theme/sing songs, one working ride but for the nostalgia, it was worth it. Thomas land on the top floor was awesome. Good rides for the kids, make sure you don’t go on school holidays as it does get busy. The middle floor is bob the builder, Pingu, Angelina ballerina. The Thomas show is a must because the performers look like they need a bottle of wine to get through the rest of the day and the mechanical Thomas was hilarious as it needs updating! We had to spend 6 hours here due to coach times but if you drove yourself, maybe 2/3 hours top.
