Bandar Seri Begawan at a Glance
About Bandar Seri Begawan
Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei, is an unmissable destination due to its serene and tranquil atmosphere. The Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, a stunning mosque with a 52-meter tall golden dome, is a standout attraction that will leave you in awe. One unique thing travelers love about this city is the chance to experience the authentic Bruneian culture at the water village of Kampong Ayer, a traditional fishing village built on stilts over the Brunei River.
The best time to visit Bandar Seri Begawan is during the dry season, from February to August, when the weather is hot and sunny. For first-timers, it's a good idea to hire a local guide to navigate the city's intricate waterways and learn about the history and customs of Kampong Ayer.
