Brunei On Your Own

OVERVIEW

Explore vibrant Bandar Seri Bagawan independently and come away with a genuine feel for the culture of Brunei’s capital city. You will be dropped off at the modern Yayasan shopping complex and provided with a map of the nearby attractions. Feel free to shop for hours on end and take advantage of the restaurants there, if you wish. The day is yours to do as you please with no schedule to follow other than your own. The mall overlooks a bend in the Brunei River and you could easily walk down to the waterfront jetty. Nearby, you will find the Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque, whose golden dome and minarets dominate the skyline, and the Royal Regalia Museum, which holds an outstanding collection of items from the sultan’s lavish coronation and other royal celebrations. The ornate, red-and-green Teng Yun Temple also deserves a look, as it is the oldest Chinese temple in Brunei.
