We got around by car. Coming from Singapore, it was a smooth and easy road to hotel destination. We heard so much about Danga Bay from our friends. Ample parking spaces and spoilt for choice of food made us brought our parents to try the foods there especially the lunch buffet of 'Kampung Dishes' which were soo authentic and varieties with we pay for a very affordable price. Those who wish to drive in Johor the signs are very helpful and easy. You will never be hungry at Johor Bahru, almost every turn there will be restaurants and shopping malls are plenty. Traffic is rather busy. Of all, we love Danga Bay so for foodies like us, do look that out!Beautiful at night:)

Johor Bharu is not really a tourist's place, although we enjoyed the short time there. There are not very many things to see in JB itself.
We spent a day in Singapore, which is easy to get to from the hotel. You can get a bus from the local (KotaRaya) bus station which drops you at a railway station in Singapore - make sure you have Singapore dollars BEFORE you do this!
Incidentally, no map we saw of JB had a scale on it, and they did not make clear where the bus stations are. The local (KotaRaya) bus station is a few minutes walk from the Puteri Pan Pacific Hotel. The main (Larkin) bus station is several miles away - this is the one you will need for most journeys into the rest of Malaysia.

City Square Shopping Mall is quite a huge shopping mall to pass time as well as to get some shopping done. Damai Garden nearby Crystal Crown Hotel is a very good and cheap place for seafood and other Asian food.

Getting around was easy by walk as it is centrally located near market/shopping areas. The Piccolo restaurant had very nice soup and also Pizza & Pasta for vegetarians.

It was a bit complicated due to the layout of JB-roads (many one way) in that area to get to the PAN PACIFIC. But eventually I saw a sign leading to the hotel - and I also found the entrance to the garage after consulting an employee outside - as there was another sign a few meters down the road, too.
The main shopping complexes are two blocks or 5 minutes away on shoe express. If you are into satay and the likes - during the evening and lunch time there are numerous food stalls in the smaller alleys between the shopping complexes - almost like it used to be at Clarke Quay in Singapore. O.k. - not the same atmosphere-lah!
I took an extended walk to the Sultans palace and in the attached park after breakfast - as the hotel had granted me a late check-out at 3 p.m.
It takes approx. 15-20 minutes to walk there.
I also found the TCI FRIDAYS in the vicinity - and the huge WATERFRONT CITY shopping complex, which is closed for renovation though.

There is not too much to see and do in the city. We stayed there just one night as we were coming from Singapore and had to catch a flight the next day from JB. There are a few interesting buildings and one good shopping center. Half a day in Johor Bahru is more than enough to see the city.

Johore Bahru is a pretty decent place to visit and anyone can pop by Singapore anytime they want, even just for a day trip, as long as you bring your pass port. Pop over by the causeway coach and just wait a bit at the immigration and you're there. Food and shopping in JB is much affordable compared to singapore though.
