Tips from locals
Constructed in 1866, the opulent Istana Besar is the Grand Palace of the state and was once the home of the Sultan of Johor. The structure incorporates a beautiful blend of both Malay and Western architectural styles, and stands out majestically with its stark white walls and signature blue roof. Today, it is mainly used for official functions only and part of it converted into the Royal Abu Bakar Museum, showcasing a collection of antiques and heirlooms of the Royal Family.
