Johor Bahru (Malaysia) - Wink Travel Guide

Johor Bahru (also Johor Baru or Johore Baharu, informally called JB) is a city and the state capital of Johor.

The city has a good mix of Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures, with racial harmony actively promoted by the Sultan of Johor. The city has been receiving lots of investments, particular from Chinese property developers, as part of the Iskandar Malaysia project.

It is a sprawling city; its city center is rather small for a metropolis of its size, and many of the city's best shopping areas and restaurants are in the suburbs rather than in the city centre. While the public transportation leaves much to be desired, local e-hailing app Grab makes the task of exploring the city much easier.
