2025 Brunei Darussalam Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

📍The symbol of Brunei! Commonly known as the Old Mosque 🌟Please note that the hours during which you can visit are quite limited, but it is a wonderful and beautiful building. It is also a symbol of Brunei and is located in the center, so it can be seen from anywhere in the city. The Old Mosque seen during the day and at night is completely different, so please go there once! The design of the streetscape is also beautiful. 🚩Route Jalan McArthur, Bandar Seri Begawan BS8711 Brunei #Brunei #Brunei tourist spot #mosque

Brunei Darussalam 'The Abode of Peace' 🇧🇳 Introducing the three places we visited this time: 'Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque' (commonly known as the New Mosque 🕌) 'Istana Nurul Iman' (the palace where the king resides 👑) 'Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque' (commonly known as the Old Mosque 🕌) They say there's hardly any tax?! Blessed with natural resources like oil and natural gas, it's also known as a wealthy country!!! The atmosphere of the city during the day and at night is quite different, and it's a country where you can spend a leisurely time forgetting about the time.

Everything pork in this restaurant. This non-halal cafe, which located in Kiulap, included a small, simple interior design with a dark ambiance. The smoked pork ribs were tender and good to eat. I will be back and this time we'll eat in! Pretty good & consistent experience so far. #deliciousfood #bruneifoodies #couplestrip

Last recent holiday I had the pleasure of flying with Brunei Airlines, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I stepped onto the plane, I was greeted with warm smiles from the friendly flight attendants, who went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. The flight itself was smooth and comfortable, and I was impressed with the quality of the food and the in-flight entertainment. It's clear that Brunei Airlines puts a lot of effort into making their passengers feel comfortable and relaxed, and I truly appreciated it. Once I arrived in Brunei, I was struck by the beauty of the country and the warmth of the people. Everywhere I went, people greeted me with kindness and hospitality, making me feel right at home. During my stay, I had the opportunity to explore some of Brunei's incredible sights, from the stunning mosques to the lush jungles and pristine beaches. Everywhere I went, I was struck by the natural beauty and the rich cultural heritage of the country. Perhaps the best part of my stay in Brunei, however, was the people. From the hotel staff to the shopkeepers and street vendors, everyone I encountered was kind, friendly, and welcoming. They went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed, and I truly appreciated their kindness. Overall, I would highly recommend both Brunei Airlines and a visit to Brunei itself. From the friendly service on the flight to the warm hospitality of the people, it was truly an unforgettable experience. #bruneiairlines #brunei #southeastasia #hospitality #culture #nature #food #friendlyservice #comfortableflights #travelrecommendations

Item : Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam Location : 4.9031° N, 114.9398° E Bandar Seri Begawan formerly also know as Brunei Town is the capital of Brunei Darussalam. It is a small nation on the island of Borneo. Almost everybody drives here and own a car so limited public transport. They only have mini buses which cost $1 Brunei dollar regardless of distance. They have a rice specialty with funny history called "Nasi Katok". Go and ask the nasi katok seller the real history you will be amazed. It is kind of hilarious. Inwalked 10km on foot to a local restaurant because there is no public transport or ride hailing app there. A stranger offered to hitch me a ride. Hahahaha They say that area have a lot of foreigners and it's not safe to walk long distances. Brunei is like a mellow City that have thick densely covered jungle surrounding it. No night life but the Natures are the bomb. All well preserved. #asiatrip

Address - Komplerks Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, Jalan MaArthur, Bandar Seri, Brunei During my stay in Brunei my friend recommended me to this Japanese restaurant to eat 👉 KAIZEN SUSHI. The restaurant has a great scenery by the riverfront. The atmosphere was very good in the restaurant. Look grand too. The food was delicious and fresh. Yummy 🥰 I love salmon sashimi. The food were tasty. I really had an enjoyable dinner. Also the quality of the food is there. A little expensive but worth the price. Never regret eating at the KAIZEN SUSHI.

I recommend KAIZEN SUSHI to you if you want some quality Japanese food in Brunei. Worth to try. 👍👍👍 A very nice moment to eat by the riverfront with water village view. I’ll remember🥰 #scenicspotguide#summervacation

Brunei might be small, but it packs a punch with its unique blend of food, stunning landscapes, and incredibly friendly locals. The food here is a delightful fusion of Malay, Indian, and Chinese influences. Must-tries include ambuyat (a sticky sago dish) and nasi katok (rice with spicy fried chicken and sambal), which locals eat like it’s going out of style! Beyond the plates, Brunei’s scenery is breathtaking, with lush rainforests, crystal-clear rivers, and the awe-inspiring Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque that looks like something straight out of a fairy tale. And the people? Humble, polite, and always ready with a warm smile, making you feel instantly at home. In Brunei, you’ll find beauty, taste, and charm at every corner—it’s a small country with a big heart! #travel#couplestrip#beachlife#staycation#afternoonteatime#localfood#trip

#travellerswonderland I had an amazing weekend in Brunei! I explored the stunning Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, took a boat ride through Kampong Ayer, and enjoyed the lush greenery of Ulu Temburong National Park. The rich culture and serene landscapes made it an unforgettable trip. 🌴✨

It is located at the Yong Siong Hai Building in Kampong Gadong, Brunei. Kitaro Japanese Restaurant is a culinary gem offering a delightful Japanese dining experience. My visit to this establishment was a celebration of fresh flavors and warm hospitality. The standout at Kitaro was undoubtedly their fresh Sashimi, particularly the tantalizing Salmon and Tuna. Each slice showcased pristine quality and exquisite taste, embodying the essence of authentic Japanese cuisine. Another highlight was their customizable Poke Bowl, starting at a reasonable price of BND 7.80. This option allowed for a personalized culinary journey, where diners could craft their own bowl with a variety of fresh ingredients, ensuring a satisfying and unique dining experience. Moreover, the staff at Kitaro Japanese Restaurant were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Their welcoming demeanor added to the overall dining ambiance, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere for patrons. In summary, Kitaro Japanese Restaurant in Brunei Darussalam is a haven for Japanese cuisine enthusiasts. With its array of fresh Sashimi, customizable Poke Bowls, reasonable prices, and amiable staff, it's a must-visit destination for those seeking an authentic and enjoyable Japanese dining experience. #deliciousfood #pokebowl #bruneifoodies #japaneserestaurant

Brunei is a very nice and quiet place . We had so much fun weve only been here for 3days because theres nothing much to do here .but again the place is very nice ,very peaceful and the locals are very kind even the dart drivers

Brunei is more than you can imagine. Ruch in culture and cheap food everywhere. Night market is very crowded with locals and even tourists! Definitely a great place to visit and enjoy! If you ever want to have a more chill trip, Brunei is the place to go! Remember to visit the parks at the heart of the city, the shopping malls are not that attractive but definitely enjoyed buying different snacks!

Brunei has many botanical gardens, including the Royal Botanical Gardens of Brunei, the Tasek Merimbun Heritage Park, and the Brunei BioInnovation Corridor. The following photos were taken at the Brunei BioInnovation Corridor. There is a huge glass botanical garden here, where a variety of flowers are planted. In addition, there is an animal farm that houses a group of beautiful deer, as well as peacocks, ostriches, and other various animals.

The Brunei Royal Polo Club is a well-known venue. It boasts excellent horses and top-notch polo equipment. The Brunei royal family has a deep passion for polo. The club may operate on a membership basis, and tourists visiting the Brunei Royal Polo Club can only watch from the periphery. However, they can see the magnificent horses on the polo field and polo enthusiasts swinging their mallets, experiencing the high-quality life of the nobility. The club's architecture and decorations are also quite exquisite. For example, there might be four gold-inlaid arch pillars at the entrance supporting a massive crystal, emitting dazzling colorful light.

#familytrips2024 The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is situated inside of supasave near the front entrance. The staff was friendly and service was quick. The food was great, delicious & hearty.
