Malaysia's most vibrant southernmost city, JB, is located near the border to Singapore. It may be a great party spot, but it rewards those who stay longer.

Johor Bahru was founded in 1855 as a fishing village. It has since grown to be a busy city with two connecting bridges linking Malaysia and its nearest neighbour, Singapore. Although Johor Bahru's role as a regional transport hub and manufacturing hub has influenced the city's character and aesthetics, it is not "all work and nothing play".

Singaporeans are looking for cheap thrills on weekends - taking advantage of the Singaporean dollar's strength over the Malaysian Ringgit - and cross the border in search of some of the most aggressive driving in the country. Johor Bahru has plenty to offer for anyone who doesn't like roadside acrobatics.
