About Bandar Seri Begawan
Bandar Seri Begawan is the small, calm capital of the Sultanate of Brunei, on the Brunei River near the north coast of Borneo. Its skyline is defined by the golden dome of the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, which rises above a lagoon in the city centre.
Across the river lies Kampong Ayer, a large water village of stilt houses, schools and mosques linked by wooden walkways, reached by small water taxis. The Royal Regalia museum displays the crown, the royal chariot and gifts from world leaders.
The Jame Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque has gold-topped domes set in gardens and fountains, and visitors can also see the riverside palace of the Sultan, one of the largest residential palaces in the world.
