Brunei-Muara
District
The capital Bandar Seri Begawan in the Brunei-Muara district is the seed of historical beginnings of Brunei and where royalties have resided over centuries.
The Brunei river was the hub of the Bruneian Empire and civilisation was founded on Kampong Ayer, the largest water village in the world. Opulent mosques, grand palaces, the 6-star Empire Hotel and the Jerudong amusement park in the city are mustsee landmarks.
If the heritage and history of a city is more your speed, the mausoleums of shining rulers of the past and the fascinating Brunei Museum and Royal Regalia Museum are well worth a visit.
A leisurely river cruise along the Brunei river is one of the best ways to see the capital to capture the heritage and nature that the city is carved from.
