Bandar Seri Begawan Essentials

Bandar Seri Begawan showcases a blend of grand Islamic architecture and traditional riverine life. The skyline is dominated by the golden domes of the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin and Jame'Asr Hassanil Bolkiah mosques. Along the Brunei River, the historic stilt village of Kampong Ayer provides a contrast to the Istana Nurul Iman, the world's largest residential palace. Cultural insights are found at the Royal Regalia Museum, while the nearby mangroves offer sightings of endemic proboscis monkeys and local trade thrives at the Kianggeh Market.
