Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque

This magnificent mosque sits at the very heart of the capital city and the country's Islamic faith. Built in 1958 and named after the 28th Sultan Of Brunei, it is one of the most impressive mosques in South-East Asia. Set amid its own lagoon, the mosque seems to be floating, surrounded by lush greenery and floral gardens, while its glittering dome, covered in real gold, soars above the skyline. Featuring luminous stained glass windows, floors of gleaming Italian marble, walls of Shanghai granite, chandeliers from Britain and Carpets from Saudi Arabia, the mosque brings together the world's best materials in a tour de force of architectural beauty and spiritual ambience. A marble bridge across the lagoon brings you to a replica of a 16th century Royal Barge, which used to host religious ceremonies, like Quran reading competitions. At night, the mosque is illuminated, making it a vision to be seen. Opening Hours : Sun-Wed, 8am until 5:30pm, EXCEPT at Prayer times Closed : Thurs-Fri Shoes are to be removed before entering. Dress appropriately For Men : No shorts, No Sleeveless ( wear long pants) For Women : No singlets, No shorts, must cover leg ( wear Long pants)

Tasek Lama Recreational Park

Reviewed By TheOExpress - Hong Kong, China

There was a reason everyone else was wearing hiking or athletic gear! All but the very shortest looped trail on the map require relatively sturdy footwear I’d say: I was lucky not to fall over and get covered in mud. That being said, I’m glad I got as lost as I did. For mid-afternoon in Saturday, I was very surprised to have paths and ridges to myself for most of the hour or so I was wandering round and the scenery is lovely. There’s a lot more than just the waterfall to see...

Reviewed By LicaR4 - Sao Paulo, Brazil

This tour is a must-do in Brunei. The tour guide Mark Puter Delima was awesome. I went by myself and the tour was excellent. The price was very good, especially considering that I was a solo traveler, which usually takes the prices higher up. I contacted Mark at: [email protected] and +6738168540 by whatsapp

Kampong Ayer - Venice of East

Technically part of the Bruneian capital of Bandar Seri Begawan, Kampong Ayer has more than enough uniqueness and history about it to be considered separately. Meaning “water village”, Kampong Ayer is built on stilts above the Brunei river. More than 30,000 people inhabit Kampong Ayer, the largest water settlement in Southeast Asia, and travel about by boat or the extensive network of wooden walkways, footbridges, and boardwalks. Kampong Ayer’s 4,200 structures include homes, mosques, restaurants, shops, schools, and a even a hospital. People have been living here for more than 1,300 year. Many of the traditional lifestyles of its inhabitants; fishermen, traders, and artisans; have remained unchanged. Visitors can experience this heritage by taking one of the many water taxis in front of the Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah in Bandar Seri Begawan.

Good to visit and see how they live on stilts, nice view and rich in historical culture. It's accessible to visit via boat which you can ride along at the Eco Park.

Gadong Night Market

Reviewed By kjpdavid - Melbourne, Australia

During our stay in Bandar Seri Begawan the Gadong Night Market became our go to place whenever we craved local cuisine for dinner. Located within walking distance from The Mall Gadong and less than 1km from Jame Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque, it features 4 long rows of undercover market stalls cooking and selling just about any local dish that you'd care to sample. The traders - like everyone who crossed paths with us in Brunei - are very friendly and accommodating, most single servings of food would cost B$1-4 (vegetable dishes the cheapest, lamb the dearest) and you could eat heartily for around B$10 p/person. There's plentiful free parking but be mindful that the market is mostly patronised by locals (always a good indicator of its value and authenticity) and gets very crowded from around 6pm onwards. Highly recommend.
