10 Things to do in Johor Bahru District That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

2. Johor Bahru City Square
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 1,226 reviews
Strategically located in the heart of the city and only a stone's throw from the customs and immigration checkpoint, Johor Bahru City Square stands out as a central landmark in JB. With its more than 200 retailers, it offers a host of fashion, entertainment and restaurants. All catered to wow the senses and satisfy the needs. Rush in when the doors open at 10am for breakfast, then head out and start your shopping adventure of clothes, shoes, bags, trinklets, toiletries, electronic toys. Everything the heart desires. Unique to Johor Bahru City Square is the Inner City, an eclectic mix of smallish fashion and accessory shops plus restaurants housed in a tight, quaint setting. Always a firm favorite of the "NOW" generation. After many hours of shopping, rest the feet in one of the numerous restaurants and cafes or indulge in a soothing foot massage, then go on to treat the rest of the body at a salon.

3. Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple
Overall Ratings

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.
4. Legoland Malaysia

This was a most amazing day and definitely one off the bucket list. If your kids are a fan of LEGO then this theme park will blow them away. The rides are so much fun as are the different areas. Personal favourites were Miniworld where there are LEGO replicas of famous sites around Asia and the Star Wars exhibit where they recreate a famous scene from each of the first six movies. Plenty of dining options around the park with the pricing being quite reasonable. Our favourite ride was the Adventure Land boat drop where you do get very wet at the end of the ride, be warned. Overall a brilliant day and one we will repeat in the future!

Always a nice buzz there. Good food court at the ground floor. Tourists: Try the Laksa fish ball, so yummy. When you enter through the main entrance, you see it immediately on your left hand.

Reviewed By SLHoliday13 - Singapore, Singapore
We were in Johor for a short stay over the Christmas period. Went to City Square Mall, Aeon at Tebrau City and Mid Valley mall. The latter beats them all. Mid Valley Mall is the place to shop and dine if you are in JB. It has 5-6 storeys of retail outlets and a cinema. The shops range from international brands to local retail outlets. Very spacious and welcoming design and layout. At the basement, there are plenty of eateries from small cafe to restaurants like i Dragon. Worth the visit if you are in JB. Don't bother to go Aeon Tebrau as it has become very dated, overcrowded and toilets are not clean. Will definitely visit Mid Valley again when I am in JB.
