A Must Visit Places in Brunei

In Brunei Darussalam, there are many places of interests to be visited by the visitors. Among all these attractions, a MUST visit places are:

- Kampong Ayer (Water Village):

A long journey along the Brunei River will be the perfect experience into the country's past. It houses the largest water village in the world, Kampong Ayer. Known as the "Venice of the East" by European tourists, Kampong Ayer has about 42 villages.

- Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque:

The Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque is perhaps the country's most recognisable landmark and located close to the Yayasan. Built in 1958 by the late Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien during his reign. The mosque stands in the centre of a man-made lagoon and on it rests a stone replica of the 16th century royal barge known as the Mahligai.

- Brunei Museum:

Established in 1965 and located at Jalan Kota Batu. It displays a collection of historical artefacts including Borneo Ethnography and Natural History as well as Islamic Art.
