About Travel to Johor Bahru
Johor Bahru is a large thriving city with a city centre population of over 650,000 permanent residents. Johor Bahru is not, however, a popular tourist destination in its own right. The main leisure visitors to Johor Bahru are Singaporean day trippers and travellers on their way to and from Singapore. The visitors from Singapore mostly come for the shopping, or to visit one of the major theme parks such as Legoland or Danga Bay. The popularity of the city as a place for Singaporean residents to come for cheap shopping has diminished because of a perception of a high crime rate in Johor Bahru, which is certainly less safe than Singapore but not as dangerous as some North American cities.
