The capital of Brunei is Bandar Seri Begawan. It’s a small but very clean and well-maintained city located along the Brunei River. The skyline is dominated by golden-domed mosques like the famous Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque. The city blends tradition and modern luxury, with water villages on one side and government palaces on the other. Oil wealth has helped it grow while keeping a calm, peaceful atmosphere. Locals are friendly, and the city is easy to explore on foot or by boat. A trip to Kampong Ayer, the floating village, gives a unique look at everyday life on the water.
