Your Private Tour Itinerary: The Best of Johor Bahru
Tan Hiok Nee Heritage Street
We begin our journey on a street where history meets modern cafe culture. Known as JB’s Heritage Food Trail, Jalan Tan Hiok Nee is lined with beautifully preserved shophouses, traditional eateries, and trendy new cafes. It’s the perfect spot to grab a local coffee and capture photos of this charming area.
Istana Bukit Serene & The Crown Arch
Get your camera ready for a view of royalty. We’ll stop at the magnificent Laman Mahkota Istana Bukit Serene, the official residence of the Sultan of Johor. While we cannot enter the palace itself, you’ll get a spectacular view of its unique Art-Deco architecture and the famous crown arch that stands guard at its entrance—a must-see landmark in Johor.
Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque
Next, we visit one of the most beautiful and historic mosques in Malaysia. Completed in 1900, the Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque showcases a stunning blend of Victorian and Moorish architecture. We’ll take time to admire its tranquil gardens, grand archways, and magnificent exterior.
