Bandar Seri Begawan’s centre is small enough to cross on foot in fifteen minutes, and most of what visitors come for sits within it or just across the river. The rest of the country is close too: Brunei is only about 150 kilometres from end to end.
We group the sights three ways: the city centre and the river, which you can cover on foot and by water taxi; the places around the capital that need a short ride; and day trips across Brunei to the rainforest, the beaches and the oil towns. Each guide covers what to see, how to get there, practical tips and the tours that include it.
