The Royal Regalia Museum, located in Bandar Seri Begawan, is a golden-domed landmark showcasing the opulent royal life of His Majesty The Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam. Formerly known as Churchills Memorial Building, it features exhibits such as replicas of the Brunei royal throne, crown, chariot, and ceremonial garments. Visitors can also witness a mock-up of the Sultan's coronation and view extravagant gifts from world leaders on display.
It is a museum that contains the gifts and ceremonial items belonging to the Sultan of Brunei. The place tells a lot about the life of the Sultan from his youth to his time as Sultan. He is still alive now and has been ruling for more than 60 years. There are many items commemorating his 60 years of rule around the museum so it left quite an impression. The items displayed here all looked really unique and pretty. Definitely worth the $5 to enter and visit the place. Visitors are can use non-smartphone cameras (action camera, mirrorless) in the area where the chariot is displayed but inside you can only use smartphones as they will tell you to store your stuff in a locker before entering the main route. Visited on 19 May 2025

Many men have man caves, though not this opulent. In this museum, you learn a little about the history of Brunei, and the Sultan. Not much is shared about remaining family members. In this museum, you will see lots of glitter, gold that’s part of the lives of the royal family, along with gifts and swags given to the Sultan from rich and powerful connections. And it may cross your mind that those are not really gifts that one would want to put in their homes. So if you rule a country, have unlimited resources, have more money than you need for many lifetimes, you too may build something to house all of that. It’s interesting to see what world leaders gift each other. Definitely ranges from interesting, thoughtful to what?? 🤔 There is a fee to enter. Bags need to be placed in lockers. No outside shoes permitted. It’s not a huge museum, though not small either. Plan for at least 1-2 hours to take in everything.

굳이라는 생각이 든다. The Royal Regalia Museum is a must-visit spot in Bandar Seri Begawan for anyone interested in Brunei’s monarchy and cultural heritage. The building itself is grand and well-maintained, and the exhibits are impressive — from royal chariots and ceremonial weaponry to gifts from other nations. The museum offers a unique glimpse into the life and traditions of the Sultanate, with well-preserved items and detailed explanations. Best of all, it’s free to enter. Make sure to store your bags at the entrance, as photography isn’t allowed inside. A quiet and educational stop that adds depth to your understanding of Brunei.

We all friends visted this Royal museum at Pusat Bandar, entrance fees is $5 brunei dollar per person, you can see lot of photos, so ,many things which Royal Sultan of Brunei used from his earlier age to now, so many gifts presented by various peoples, and it has descriped how the the Kingdom is live his life, his wifes and his ministry and the people of Brunei Darussalam.How he kind with his people and how he administrate this country. It is worth to visit.
Muthurajamoorthy B — Google review
Definitely worth a visit to learn about Brunei and its mysterious royal family. The museum is well maintained with a lot of treasures.
Cameron C — Google review
A collection of items gifted to the Sultan of Brunei who is either a man loved by the people or loved by himself — a distinction that is hard to tell. The line between honorific and self-indulgent feels blurred here. But, there are plenty of beautiful items on display. A pleasant, if not slightly dull, way to pass an hour in Brunei.
Joel B — Google review
A museum that shows the coronation and life of the Sultan. It was impressive at first but slowly made me feel like I’m just looking at gifts that he got all over the world but had no space in his home. The staff wasn’t particularly welcoming and quite choppy. Only words I got from them are “write here” and “five ringgit”.

A slightly odd museum that seemed more like a glamorous storage place for the sultans gifts than a cohesive museum for learning. Still pretty cool. No shoes inside and my feet got very chilly 🦶🏼

Nestled in the heart of Bandar Seri Begawan, the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque stands as a breathtaking testament to Brunei's Islamic heritage and architectural prowess. Completed in 1958, this grand mosque is named after the nation's 28th Sultan and reflects his vision for modernization during his reign. Its striking design combines Mughal and Italian influences, highlighted by a magnificent golden dome that rises majestically above lush gardens and an artificial lagoon.
Stunning mosque in a gorgeous space. Whether by day or night, Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque shines like a jewel. No fee to visit. The interior is equally beautiful. Visitors with bare head, exposed appendages are offered a robe to wear while visiting. Shoes need to be removed before stepping up from the steps. Before entering. All staff members are friendly and helpful.

A must-visit landmark in Bandar Seri Begawan. The golden dome of the mosque is stunning, especially during sunset when it reflects beautifully over the water. The surroundings are peaceful, and the architecture is both grand and elegant. Non-Muslims can enter during designated hours, but make sure to follow the dress code. It's free to visit and definitely worth stopping by if you're in Brunei. One of the most iconic spots in the country.
Ryan K — Google review
The capital city of Brunei, where silence is golden, much like the domes. A place so clean and orderly, you’ll feel guilty for chewing gum too loudly. Everything looks polished, peaceful, and possibly watched by a CCTV operated by someone in royal attire. Expect gleaming mosques, air-conditioned museums, and entire streets where the loudest noise is your own flip-flops. Locals are warm, roads are wide, and traffic is so calm it feels rehearsed. There’s oil money somewhere underfoot, but above ground, it’s all modest smiles and slow living. Come for the iconic Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, stay for the surreal calm and leave wondering if you accidentally trespassed into a billionaire’s backyard that also happens to be a country. Home to one of the world’s richest reigning monarchs, the Sultan of Brunei, whose palace has over 1,700 rooms, and that’s just the official count. You won’t see him, but you’ll definitely feel the royal footprint in every perfectly trimmed hedge and overachieving fountain. A surreal blend of wealth, calm, and quiet confidence..like a luxury car that never honks. Oh ya.. there’s an actual road called Jalan Pretty. Not sure if it’s a compliment, a trap, or just a passive-aggressive reminder to moisturize.

This place is within walking distance from the Regalia museum, we came right after the museum. We were wearing shorts at that time which is not allowed when entering the mosque but the staff lent us a robe so we can enter. We were only allowed to walk around a small area of the mosque but we still get to enjoy the air-con and see the interiors of the mosque. I think we are only allowed to walk around small area is because there are locals coming to pray while tourists are visiting. It's shame that we left the area the mosque after leaving the interior, as there are actually some outside area that we can explore. Visited on 19 May 2025

This is a national landmark in the tiny nation of Brunei. Beautiful. The mosque is surrounded by an artificial lagoon that serves as a reflecting pool, mirroring its gleaming golden domes. Go in the day and at night. Try and time the visit so you can hear the adhan (the call given to announce that it is time for a particular obligatory prayer). Dress modestly when going inside. They will give you a robe and footwear must be removed. Staff are very pleasant and friendly. Also suggest doing a river cruise as you have a lovely view of the mosque from there too. Stunning setting. Smaller than I imagined.

Nestled in the heart of Bandar Seri Begawan, the Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque is a breathtaking example of modern Islamic architecture and a significant cultural landmark in Brunei. Inaugurated in 1994 to celebrate Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah's 25th year on the throne, this magnificent mosque features an impressive array of 29 golden domes that symbolize his status as the 29th Sultan.
One of the most beautiful mosques I’ve ever visited. The golden domes and detailed architecture are absolutely breathtaking. The surrounding gardens are well maintained and add to the peaceful atmosphere. It's especially stunning during sunset. Visitors are welcome outside of prayer hours, but make sure to dress modestly. A must-visit when you're in Brunei!
Ryan K — Google review
I visited on a Sunday at 9am and was glad to find it not too crowded. Do check the visiting hours in advance. The mosque is truly one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen—its architecture is simply stunning. The surrounding garden and fountains make it a perfect spot for photos. This is definitely a must-visit when in Brunei. Just remember to dress appropriately and be respectful during your visit.

They say the dome of this mosque is made with 25% gold, and it really shows in its beauty. What I love is that even non-Muslims or visitors who aren’t dressed modestly can still enter by wearing a robe provided here. The unique design makes every corner feel grand and luxurious honestly, it’s the kind of place where you can’t resist snapping a photo.

One of the largest mosques in Brunei, with gold leaf on the top of the minaret. The inside is very beautiful. The guards here still maintain the solemnity and are very friendly to tourists. Free entrance fee, about 1 hour to visit here. If you come here and your clothes are not suitable, you will be able to borrow a robe for free to visit.

First top for most tourist. Plenty of photos opportunities. We felt welcomed at the entrance especially if you can speak Malay/from Malaysia. Very picturesque place.... No entrance fees. A good place to stop by. Pls make sure you check the time for praying as they will closed during that time. If I'm not mistaken, mosque will closed from 1130am to 230pm for non Muslims.

Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah summoned John Lawson to the country's capital, in the early 1990s after being inspired by the Englishman's work. Lawson was asked to design the glass dome for a new mosque that would be constructed to honour the Silver Jubilee of Hassanal Bolkiah. Although it was first officially called the Kiarong Mosque, it would go on to be renamed as Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque.

Istana Nurul Iman, located three kilometers west of Bandar Seri Begawan's city center, is the opulent residence of the Sultan of Brunei. It stands as the world's largest residential palace, surpassing even the Vatican in size. Completed in January 1984 at a staggering cost of $350 million, this grand palace boasts gold-domed minarets and covers two million square feet.
It’s Brunei Sultan’s residence and tourists can only enter it during Raya, when there is an open house organised. It’s a huge place though with beautiful gardens. Spend around 5-7 minutes here

The Malay Technology Museum, also known as Muzium Teknologi Melayu locally, is a top attraction in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei. It was opened in 1988 and showcases the history of Malay culture and way of life in Brunei. The museum features exhibits depicting the traditional technology employed by Kampong Ayer residents, including architecture, handicrafts, boatmaking, and silversmithing.
The Malay Technology Museum is an excellent spot to learn about the fascinating history of Brunei and its traditional industries, with a special focus on the Water Village (Kampung Air). This museum offers an in-depth look at how Brunei’s people have lived and worked, particularly in relation to their connection with water and the development of local industries. The exhibits showcase a variety of traditional tools, crafts, and technologies that were used by the people of Brunei, reflecting the resourcefulness of those living in the water village. You’ll find fascinating displays about boat building, fishing techniques, agriculture, and other industries that were crucial to Brunei’s historical development. The museum provides a deep dive into the lifestyle and culture of the Malay people in Brunei, showing how these industries helped shape the country. The interactive exhibits and informative displays make it easy to understand the historical context of each piece. The museum itself is well-maintained and easy to navigate, offering a peaceful and educational experience. Whether you’re a history buff or simply interested in learning about Brunei’s heritage, I highly recommend visiting the Malay Technology Museum.

Worth visiting. An informative museum. The staffs are nice and helpful. Lockers are provided before entering the galleries. Galleries full of dioramas about the the malay way of life, living on stilts, different industries and livelihoods adapted on the swamps. A good itenerary for a day trip that includes the nearby museums, archaeological sites and grave sites of the former sultans. A trail nearby would lead to the ruins and excavations inside the forested area. The same area as the maritime museum.

Yet another great museum in Brunei's little museum complex. As with the others, admission is free. Although I believe you aren't supposed to take photos here - as is the case with seemingly every museum in Brunei - they didn't seem to strict about that, and with the beautiful exhibits of Kampong Ayer and the other less-developed parts of Brunei, you will definitely want to snap a couple photos!

Tasek Lama Recreational Park, located just a short distance from Bandar Seri Begawan, offers a perfect escape into nature. The park features marked trails of varying difficulty levels that lead to picturesque waterfalls and provide opportunities to spot diverse birdlife and wildlife, including monkeys. It is known for its tranquil ambiance and scenic landscapes, making it an ideal retreat from the urban bustle.
Tasek Lama Recreational Park is an absolutely wonderful place for anyone looking to relax, unwind, or enjoy some outdoor activities. It’s perfect for a peaceful escape from a busy lifestyle. Whether you want to walk, hike, or simply enjoy nature, this park has something for everyone. For hikers, there are several trails that vary in difficulty, offering a great way to explore the natural beauty of Brunei. The trails lead through lush greenery, and for those looking for a challenge, some of them can be a bit steep—but definitely worth it for the views and sense of accomplishment. One of the highlights is the beautiful waterfall, which you can find while hiking through the park. The sound of the cascading water adds to the peaceful atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for relaxation or a quick nature break. If you're into birdwatching, this park is also a great place to spot various species, thanks to its rich, natural environment. And best of all, the entrance is totally free—a rare gem that offers such a peaceful experience without any cost. I highly recommend Tasek Lama for those who want to disconnect, get some fresh air, and enjoy the tranquility of nature. It's a perfect spot to recharge, whether you're a hiker or simply looking for a serene place to unwind.

Foreigners who are nature lovers and have 90 minutes to spare in Bandar Seri Begawan should definitely visit this place. Upon entering, start by visiting the Tasek Wooden Tower, which can be reached by following the Tasek Twin Stairs. The trail might be slightly rough and challenging, but the effort is good for your body. There's not much up there except for the wooden platform, but it offers a nice view. There are two trails leading to other mountains, but they are a few kilometers further. Afterward, you can retrace your steps and head toward the water reservoir. At the Tasek Reservoir, you’ll find a tall Tasek Tower that you can climb. The trail to the tower features various species of pitcher plants, including very tiny and big ones. Next, visit the Tasek Lama Waterfall. Lastly, take some time to relax in the recreational park. There are also monkeys here having their best time of their lives

Wonderful place to hike - suitable for those who want cemented or dirt ground, and flat/incline/stairs/rough terrain. A few things are in disrepair, like the playground. Trees provide enough shade for hot days. FYI you can go either side of the dam gate for more hiking paths. Lots of parking space.
GM — Google review
Great little place for hiking. Extremely unstable trails if you go off the more well worn ones, so a positive if you’re experienced as you can control your difficulty level well. Con is that there are no markings, so you can only really learn routes by experience / GPS and the topography data won’t be enough for you to really gauge what you’re putting yourself up against until you hit it.

It’s a nice place to go for a walk. Locals use it mostly for jogging and exercising. It’s very hot in the afternoon though, so better to vome in the morning or late afternoon. There is a beautiful waterfall here, but the deck doesn’t look safe anymore. Some parts are closed off already. There is a public toilet in the park

A clean and tranquil park near the city. It's just maybe a 25 mins walk from the city center (i walk really fast though). There's a tower for viewing but most sides of the views are obstructed by tree branch. Maybe the tower is not tall enough. There's also a trail for those who wants to do a bit of hiking. Although being with local guide is a must as there's not a lot of waypoint at the trail. I even have to turn back after 5/6 way reaching sarang elang because idk why there's no more waypoint. Anyway, i gave 4 star because it's not a "must visit" place for tourists. If i stay at BSB i'll definitely rate it a 5 because i'll most likely will do a lot of workout there. Running, jogging and uphill running.

This roofed street market showcases Brunei's distinguished goods and traditional hand-woven handicrafts. Visitors can immerse themselves in the lively culture of the country by exploring the vibrant market close to the Brunei River.
Nice local market for finding local snacks, soto daging (beef noodles for B$1), vegetables, fruits and alot more. I arrived at 11:30 and not all stores were already open. The soto daging tasted fine but not very filling.

Tamu Kianggeh is a vibrant local market offering a wide variety of products at reasonable prices. You’ll find fresh fruits, vegetables, and traditional Malay kuih muih, along with food stalls selling fritters, drinks, fried snacks and many more. The market is clean, tidy and also budget-friendly, making it a popular spot for locals, especially during the weekends. It tends to get crowded in the mornings especially on Friday ans Sunday, so arriving early is recommended as many vendors close before noon. Although there is paid parking available, the convenience of the market's layout and its bustling atmosphere make it worth a visit for anyone looking to experience local flavors and culture.

As someone from another SEA country, the market seems to be lack of people. It's modern wet market that means it's clean and comfortable. It sells mostly farm produce but some are selling traditional snacks (when i visited there maybe 2-3 stalls selling traditional snacks, 2-3 stall selling modern snack and drinks. A coconut water stall. The rest are the produce stalls.

The Kianggeh market is the place to go for your local needs, and especially the rare culturally relevant items You can buy locally grown fruits and vegetables for a price that's not too different from the supermarkets There are also handcrafted local items that are hard to get elsewhere There're many local food and drinks available in the stalls This market is usually fairly sparse during weekdays but on the weekends, especially Friday, this place gets very full to the point that traffic starts to back up all the way outside The place is also very sheltered from the weather, no matter if it's hot or rainy
Astrogeosics — Google review
Maybe because I went at about noon time on a Thursday, I find that the market looks pathetic with just the vegetables stalls opened plus a few food stores. No meat or fish stalls opened, if they can be found here. Wonder how/where does the locals get their meat. Went on Friday morning and more stalls have opened, including fish and chicken stalls.

Kianggeh Market, is a traditional open-air wet market on the banks of the Kianggeh River in Brunei's capital, Bandar Seri Begawan. The market is famous for its fresh local produce, ready-made food, and local handicrafts.

Small local market with some produce and snacks. It’s located close to the mosque and waterfront, so it’s an easy stop if you’re in the area. That said, it’s nothing special at all, any neighborhood market in other Southeast Asian countries is more vibrant and interesting. Worth a quick look if you’re passing by, but not a must-see. You can walk around the whole market in a few minutes.

Museum
The Brunei Darussalam Maritime Museum, located in Bandar Seri Begawan, is a tribute to the country's maritime legacy. It offers a glimpse into Brunei's seafaring traditions and accomplishments, highlighting the sea's influence on its culture, trade, and regional connections. The museum features well-curated exhibits showcasing artifacts and a shipwreck display that provides valuable insights into Brunei's naval history.
The Brunei Darussalam Maritime Museum is a fantastic place for anyone interested in the maritime history of Brunei. It’s especially intriguing for those who are curious about shipwrecks and underwater archaeology. One of the main highlights is the exhibit dedicated to the specific shipwreck that was discovered off the coast of Brunei. The museum does an excellent job of explaining the entire recovery mission, from the initial discovery to the detailed process of excavation and preservation. The exhibits are well-organized, and you get to see artifacts recovered from the wreckage, including antique ceramics and other historical maritime treasures. The museum also provides great insight into the role of Brunei in maritime trade, as well as the historical significance of these discoveries. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the interactive displays help bring the story of the wreckage recovery to life. It’s a great place to learn not just about the shipwreck, but also about the broader maritime heritage of Brunei and the region. Highly recommend visiting for history enthusiasts, those interested in archaeology, or anyone curious about Brunei’s maritime past. It’s a fascinating and educational experience!

This museum shared knowledge about how the maritime helped to bring different goods from the world to and fro Brunei. However, there is no gift shop for me to purchase some related items. They also provided free locker for visitors to store our bags. I spent about 50mins reading closely about 90% of the exhibitions.

Worth visiting. Well curated. Nice exhibit on the found shipwreck. Beautiful artifacts. Very informative. Did not expect to be this good. A good iteneratry for a day trip which includes the nearby museums, archaeological sites and the grave sites of former sultans. A trail nearby would lead to the ruins and archaeological sites at the forest. Visited last January 2023.

The Brunei History Centre, located near the Royal Regalia Museum, is a treasure trove of historical documents and genealogical records detailing the origins of the Royal Family. This center is dedicated to researching, collecting, publishing, and exhibiting Brunei's rich history. Visitors can explore elaborate displays of antique cannons, intricate daggers, and a gallery showcasing treasures unearthed from shipwrecks off Brunei's coast.
This never ending building is full of the rich history of Brunei. Completely unexpected & delightfully surprised by the amount of information that was packed into this centre. Almost walked past it while walking to Royal Regalia, but turned around & went inside. Little to no other visitors while I was here. A diverse range of educational material, good for all ages. 2-3 hours to take your time, free entrance. A must for any history buff or visitor to Brunei.

The museum has pretty much no item exposed, it's just made of panels you have to read (in English as well), sometimes it isn't easy because of the bad light and too many colours. The most interesting room is the one with spices where you can touch and smell them. However it's more interesting than the Royal Regalia, and it's free.

I visited the Brunei History Center recently and had an enriching experience that I couldn't recommend more highly. The center itself is a treasure trove of artifacts and displays that illuminate the rich history and culture of Brunei. However, what truly made my visit unforgettable was the exceptional guidance provided by Mr. Azlan, one of the staff members. Mr. Azlan dedicated nearly two hours to walking me through the exhibits, sharing fascinating stories and insights that brought the history of Brunei to life. His passion for the subject was evident, and his ability to connect historical events to their significance today made the experience all the more engaging. I learned about the sultanate's origins, its cultural heritage, and key figures who shaped its history—knowledge I would have likely missed without his expert narration. The center itself is well-organized, making it easy to follow along with Mr. Azlan's explanations. Each exhibit is thoughtfully curated, and the layout encourages exploration and curiosity. I appreciated how Mr. Azlan tailored his commentary to my level of interest, ensuring I felt involved and intrigued throughout the tour. In a world where history can sometimes feel distant, Mr. Azlan's enthusiasm and depth of knowledge made it feel immediate and relevant. I left the Brunei History Center not only with a deeper understanding of the nation’s past but also with a newfound appreciation for its cultural richness. If you have the chance to visit, I highly recommend seeking out Mr. Azlan for a guided tour. His insights will undoubtedly enhance your experience, as they did mine. Overall, the Brunei History Center is a must-visit for anyone interested in uncovering the stories that have shaped this remarkable country.

You can go here when not doing anything else to get a perspective on history. History emphasizes about 500 years ago and centers on spices and trade. First trading with China and then the arrival of Arabs, Portuguese and others. Also information about separating with the UK and not joining Malaysia. Good if it is raining which is frequent. Free.

The Mall Gadong, also known as The Mall, is a prominent shopping center in Bandar Seri Begawan. While it may not be as extravagant as malls in Dubai, it offers a great escape from the midday heat and provides opportunities to find good deals on electronics, souvenirs, and essentials. This unique one million square foot complex features an international hotel, retail shops, a cinema called THE MALL CINEPLEX, and commercial spaces.
This is one of the largest shopping malls in Brunei. The mall was clean and featured a wide variety of shops. There is a food court on the top floor, where I bought a Magnum ice cream—with customizable toppings. The food court also offers a diverse selection of food and beverages. The staff were friendly and helpful.

It loses one star because it doesn't offer free wifi, most malls of this size should offer that for tourists at least. Not a big deal though because Brunei doesn't have free wifi anywhere in the capital, but if you ask there will let you log on. Anyways the mall is interesting as it has a fix of high end stores and bargain stores, a great food court as well. Oh and a movie theater.

Nice place to go shopping. Very near to the place that I'm staying where it is just a walking distance. Have a variety of shops inside. The design of the mall is kind of unique to me. Also the mall is closed on Fridays 12-2pm because of Friday prayers so basically all the doors will be locked. If you're inside the mall you can't go out via the main door. You can only exit through the one and only back door.

The Mall Gadong is Brunei's largest. But coming from the Philippines where many of its malls are among the world's largest, I found it quite small. The mall was busy when we visited. It's weekend and most of the people were observing their "puasa" or fasting. It was an hour before 6PM which is the end of fasting, and shoppers were already busy buying their food of choice. The whole food court as well as the restaurants around mall were full of diners waiting for the time to eat. And retail stores closed minutes before 6PM, probably to allow everyone to eat. The mall has a total of 4 levels with a variety of shops or boutiques. It also has a food court and cinemas located at the upper floors. I was hoping to see many international brand outlets but it seemed that the tenants were mostly local.

Also, in the last ten days of Ramadan, there will be iktikaf. Mosque provides foods for sahar. Baarokalloh baarokalloh...

The Royal Brunei Armed Forces Museum, located in Bandar Seri Begawan, offers a comprehensive display of the history and accomplishments of the RBAF. Visitors can explore uniforms, weapons, vehicles, and equipment used by the military force. The museum also showcases medals and honors bestowed upon members of the RBAF. Additionally, outside the museum are tanks and helicopters that visitors can explore. It's recommended to check opening hours before visiting as it is situated within a military zone.
(Translated by Google) We had nothing to do all afternoon, so we decided to find an attraction, the Brunei Military Museum. As soon as we entered, there was no one at the counter, and many lights were not turned on, so we just took a look around. There were also many small galleries with closed doors, but we still pushed them open. Look, there are weapons systems, guns, etc. inside, and outside there are military uniforms and badges, military vehicles, and motorcycles. Later, an administrator finally appeared. He was not tall and strong. He asked us that we were from Taiwan. He was scared. He was surprised because almost no one came to visit this military museum, let alone Taiwanese. He would see if three Taiwanese people visited throughout the year, so he enthusiastically turned on all the lights to introduce the collection. Those were the military's land, sea, and air force. Regular uniforms, those are the uniforms of the army, navy and air force. The commanders of Brunei were formerly foreigners and became Bruneians after independence. The allusions to the badges and the introduction of the weapons. Finally, before leaving the museum, we were asked to sign at the big desk. The information on this tour is like signing a contract with a high-ranking official... When we went out to the museum, we were guided to the helicopters and tanks outside the museum, and we also personally touched the SAM low-altitude defense missile system, with observation vehicles and radar guidance. Vehicles, missile launch vehicles, etc., where can we touch such systems? Finally, the doors of helicopters and combat vehicles were opened, allowing us to enter and simulate them in person. It was a really rare experience... (Original) 整個下午沒事幹,硬是找了個景點,汶萊軍事博物館,一進門,櫃台沒人,燈很多不開,我們就隨意看看,還有許多小房間gallery 門關著暗暗的,我們還是推開來看,裡面有武器系統,槍砲等,外面就是軍服和徽章,軍車和摩托車,後來終於冒出個管理員出來,個子不高,人壯碩,問出我們是台灣來的,他嚇一跳,因為這個軍事博物館幾乎沒什麼人來參觀,更不要說是台灣人了,一整年看有沒有3個台灣人造訪,他便很熱心地將所有電燈打開介紹館藏,那些是軍中陸海空常服,那些是陸海空禮服,汶萊歷屆指揮官,以前是外國人,獨立之後變成汶萊人,徽章的典故,武器的簡介,最後要離開館內前,還讓我們在大辦公桌前簽下到此一遊的資料,好似大官簽約....出到館外,還帶領我們到館外的直升機,戰車,還親手摸到薩姆低空防禦飛彈系統,有觀測車,雷達指引車,飛彈發射車等,哪有地方可以讓我們觸摸到這等系統,最後還打開直升機和戰車門,讓我們進到裡面親自模擬,真的非常難得的經驗.....

(Translated by Google) I was very disappointed. I came twice during business hours and no one was working. Then the non-commissioned officer outside said every time that he would come back tomorrow, but it was still not open. As a military enthusiast, even if the inside was not open, I wanted to see the equipment displayed outside the museum. I was refused entry. It was almost unattended. As a tourist, I was very disappointed. I booked a hotel for an extra day just to see the museum. I only heard a sentence of "sorry". If this is the case, it is better to just write that it is not open, and don't let others go in vain. I hope the government can see this. I am really angry. (Original) 非常失望 来了两次 都是营业时间 没人上班 然后外面的士官每次都会说明天再来 但是依然是没有开门的 作为军事爱好者 就算里面没有开门 想看看博物馆外面陈设的装备 也被拒绝入内 几乎属于无人管理的情况 作为来旅游的人非常失望 专门为了看博物馆多定了一天酒店 只听到一句sorry 如果是这样不如直接写不营业 也不要让别人白跑几次 希望政府能够看到这个事情 真的很生气

The waterfront is exactly what you would expect. Nice view over the river. Lots of boatman around that are willing to take you to the monkeys. We made a deal for $30 for two people for a short tour. Maybe we got a good deal because the sun was getting low already? Anyway, nice and calm boat ride to the monkeys. They were quite easy to spot. We also say a crocodile! On the way back we tour a detour through the floating village. Interesting place for sure!

We actually wanted to go the Kampong across the river and we thought that the boats parked along this river will bring us there but instead we were talked into a river tour that costs 30 Brunei dollars. The entire experience was not bad as the boat driver explained every single land mark along the ride in English. We went to a mangrove area where there are a lot of moneys. There are also some colorful birds around and crocodile popping their head over shallow waters. The boat ride also brings you around Kampong Ayer, we passed the photo spot that we initially wanted to go and surprisingly there are not much tourist there. I boat ride satisfied our need to visit the village as we got really close to the village and were treated to many nice views along the way as well. I wonder why Kampong Ayer was recommended as a tourist spot, it felt like a residential area to me. Visited on 19 May 2025

If you are a foreigner, you should not come too close to the river unless you plan to take a water taxi, as boat drivers will pester you with tour offers. You can get on the boat directly if rented from a boat operator. It costs around 20 to 25 Brunei dollars per person. The entire process takes about an hour. It's very interesting. You can see proboscis monkeys.

with the completion of this bridge. it have placed Brunei Darussalam in the world map as it is the second longest single-pylon cable stayed bridge in the world. it is sad to know that there will be no access to the top of the pylon except for maintenance crew. not only that, it has cut short the travelling time and distance for those staying at Sungai Kebun area and its vicinity as they previously had to drive about an hour to reach the town centre through Jalan Tutong.

Nature & Parks
Taman Mahkota Jubli Emas, also known as the Golden Jubilee Crown Park, is a 12-hectare riverfront park located near the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque in Brunei. The park features well-maintained gardens, vibrant flora, and impressive monuments that illuminate at night. Visitors can relax amidst the backdrop of the magnificent mosque and serene Kampong Ayer.
Perfect for night brisk walking or jogging activity. You can go solo, with friends or even your children as there are also other outdoor activities that they can indulge in like buggy rides or simply have some footie fun or bubble creativity at the field. Some iconic buildings are also around the area, so it is really a perfect relaxing calming tourist spot.

The park is located between the river and the mosque. Aside from the river forming a natural barrier, it's fairly open on all other sides. If you're coming from the northeast of the city, you can also enter the park via my favorite route, the "Jambatan Pejalan Kaki Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Bridge." The bridge, with its cool design, offers a great view of the park, the river, and the mosque from its elevated position. During the day, it's almost deserted, but in the evening, it's bustling with people, inviting people to jog and stroll. Absolutely worth seeing! Excellent 🫶🏻

Beautifully-kept park with many plants, trees and flowers and lovely views of the mosque in its entirety – you’ll also find ‘the frame’ which is a famous photo op to capture the mosque through. Hope you don’t arrive when a Japanese or Singaporean bus load of tourists swarm the place – but these are few and far between and they don’t stop too long. The park is sandwiched between the river and the mosque. Apart for the river creating a natural barrier it’s fairly open on all other sides. If you’re coming from the north-east of the city, you can also enter the park in my favourite way – via the bridge (Jambatan Pejalan Kaki Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien). The bridge with its cool design (as you can see on Google Maps), in its elevated position allows you great views of the park, up/down river and the mosque too. There’s a café, car park and public toilets in the park but I didn’t use these. There’s not much shade so take this into account.

Beautiful place for an evening stroll by the river. It's well lit at night with interesting trees like baobabs and nearby photo spots like the frame and the bridge.

Taman Mahkota Jubli Emas Taman Mahkota Jubli Emas (from the Malay name, literally 'Golden Jubilee Crown Park'), initially known as Eco-Corridor Park (Malay: Taman Eko-Koridor), is a riverfront public park in the former Mukim Sungai Kedayan of Bandar Seri Begawan, The capital of  Brunei Darussalam. The park was inaugurated on 22 October 2017 in conjunction with the Golden Jubilee of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah's accession to the throne as the 29th and current Sultan of Brunei Darussalam. The Taman Mahkota Jubli Emas is a 12-hectare riverfront park situated alongside the grand Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque and the tranquil water village, Kampong Ayer. Enjoy a walk down the promenade, where you can bask in the tranquil gardens full of tulips and baobab trees. Many come here to enjoy a peaceful sunset stroll with their families and children's. You can even rent a 2-seater, 4-seater or 6-seater bicycle for a captivating ride with your children's. If you’re strolling after dark, watch as the monuments as they light up the park! Don’t forget to stop by The Frame Brunei Darussalam to snap a commemorative photo of your trip to Brunei Darussalam. One of the safe and peaceful Islamic land in the southeast asia. 🇧🇳 O ALLAH!

A clean, relaxing and peaceful park with picturesque view. It's a good place for family, regardless of age, to chill and unwind. There are dedicated exercise areas meant for people to practice calisthenics and there is also a jogging track. Do practice caution when strolling along the pathway as there are people riding bicycles and tricycles. These small vehicles can be rented from the vendors at the park. There are also food vendors in the vicinity of the park.

Spacious and peaceful park . Good place for exercise or jogging in the morning and sightseeing in the late afternoon towards sunset. Its more lively in in the afternoon though especially towards evening as mobile street foods stalls are set up for the locals and tourists . You may also find bike rentals wherein for two or four can ride together . At night you will enjoy the lights of the park with the beautiful mosque at the center.

The Mausoleum of Sultan Bolkiah is a significant historical landmark situated within the archaeological park. It can be reached by following a trail that passes through ancient sites, diggings, and ruins in the forest, ultimately leading to the maritime museum and technological museum. The location is well-maintained and positioned downhill from the main road between the highway and the museum complex near the river.
Worth visiting. The place is within the archaeological park. There is a trail that would lead to some archaeological sites / diggings / ruins within the forest and finally to the maritime museum and technological museum vice versa. The place is well kept. The place is on a downhill from the mainroad in between the highway and the museum complex by the river. A proper place to give respect to the former sultan.

A nice park with overhead views of Brunei's most significant archaeological find thus far. Another highlight is the mausoleum. You can wander in and have a look. Quiet and peaceful. Aristocratic cemetery also on site. There is a small but interesting interpretive center to learn about the history of Kota Batu as the first capital site of Brunei, and the dig.

Located near the mall in Brunei, The Big Wall Brunei is a vibrant and welcoming mural situated on the north side of a tall white building. Designed by Guerilla Artchitects Studio as part of the Jalan Roberts Pedestrian Project, this iconic wall art adds life to the capital. It's a must-see attraction for tourists visiting BSB and is easily accessible for anyone exploring the area.
A Unique Wall Painting We stumbled upon the Big Wall while strolling through Bandar Seri Begawan, and it immediately captured our attention. Located in the city center on a side road, the mural beautifully combines Brunei’s main attractions on the lower part, with intricate Bornean patterns framing the vibrant flora of Brunei on the upper side. The area is clean and well-maintained, with information boards that explain the artwork and its cultural significance in more detail. We loved visiting this spot—it’s central yet a bit tucked away, offering a unique glimpse into the rich identity of this small, beautiful country.

Balai Khazanah Islam Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, also known as the Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Islamic Khazanah Hall, is a prestigious museum dedicated to showcasing Brunei's Islamic heritage and cultural treasures.
Super lovely experience in Brunei, a place to prove to people that Brunei isn't boring. There's an ongoing exhibition right now until 30th January, the art is super beautiful and you get to really see the art up close to appreciate the intricate details of the artwork. The permanent exhibition is also really worth the visit, there's so much about the Islamic world with interactive displays. There are a total of nine galleries and you can spend so many hours marveling at the tremendous collections (especially all the ancient religious texts exhibition). Honestly it's such a serene place I would come visit again just to sit down and relax there as it was so peaceful. While this exhibition is beautiful but may not be suitable for children as it's not very hands on or colourful, they might get bored. However if you love history, Islam or just want an experience of somewhere new, this is definitely worth visiting. If you are a woman who doesn't wear a hijab, they will give you a robe to wear until the end of the exhibition. I recommend going early so you have time to explore! Lots of opportunities to take photos too as the building itself is really pretty

Balai Khazanah Islam Sultan Haji is an incredible museum that beautifully showcases Islamic history and culture across its nine impressive halls. Every section is thoughtfully designed — from ancient artifacts to modern displays — offering a deep insight into the rich Islamic heritage. The atmosphere is calm, elegant, and truly inspiring. It’s more than just a museum; it’s a diamond landmark that reflects knowledge, faith, and beauty. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates culture and spirituality. Special thanks to Ms.Mardiana for her warm welcome and detailed explanations — she made the visit even more meaningful. Highly recommended!

This is THE museum you need to visit in Brunei: extremely friendly and welcoming staff (one of whom voluntarily offered me a brief tour and explained to me some concepts in Islam); comprehensive content from His Majesty the Sultan's vision and Brunei's national philosophy to the cosmos, fossils, and arts. Plus, the architecture is beautiful. Photography is now allowed: just don't use flash or film videos. The air conditioning is cold, so bring an extra layer. Bags are stored in locker. Everyone is very friendly and helpful so the visit is smooth.

Decent museum located in a beautiful modern building. The permanent exhibition is divided into 9 galleries with both Islamic artifacts as well as interactive touchscreen displays. The exhibits were alright considering the entry price point (BND5 for local residents / BND10 for tourists). There was a special temporary exhibition of Orientalist paintings when I was there which required a separate ticket, which I enjoyed. Toilets on every level were clean and well stocked. I appreciated the availability of a comfortable nursing room for mothers but a point of improvement would be to provide a diaper-changing station and perhaps a drinking water dispenser as well. You have to deposit your bags in lockers (free of charge) before you enter the exhibitions. There is also a souvenir shop located near the entrance and ticket counter. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

So much rare artefacts that you will never find any other museums around the world. Some are probably the one of it's kind. Seriously, some will leave you speechless. There's even a special room that displays the Prophet Muhammad's hair, which only opens on special Islamic dates. Check their IG @bkishhb.bn to find out more. The souvenirs shop is worth a visit too.

With 9 galleries that take you on a journey from the era of Rasulullah s.a.w. all the way to the modern Islamic nation-building led by Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, it’s both inspiring and eye-opening.
