Taman Botani Iskandar – A Serene Garden Escape at Kota Iskandar

#johorbahruguide Located within the administrative precinct of Kota Iskandar in Iskandar Puteri (formerly Nusajaya), Taman Botani Iskandar stands as a public botanic garden inspired by Islamic, Mughal‑Andalusian, and Johor‑Malay motifs. The garden is thoughtfully arranged with symmetrical water channels, terraces, and themed courtyards like the Musk Lime and Potpourri Gardens which feel more like a peaceful palace garden than your typical park. Arched walkways, gazebos, and lush green lawns create a tranquil setting for photography, quiet walks, or moments of calm reflection. Open from early morning to evening on weekends, and weekdays from 9 AM to 6 PM, the garden is free to explore and ideal for a leisurely break away from the busier parts of Johor. Whether you've come to take photos, relax by the water channels, or simply enjoy a slower moment amid greenery and elegant architecture, Taman Botani Iskandar offers a refreshing pause close to Johor Bahru.
