Bandar Seri Begawan

Vibrant, yet peaceful. Both modern and timeless. A fusion of majestic opulence and traditional respect. Bandar Seri Begawan is the centre of Brunei’s commerce, finance and government. In many ways, it is also the heart of Brunei’s cultural landscape, housing some of the nation’s most revered landmarks. The city’s breathtaking Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque is a stunning tribute to the nation’s deep-rooted faith, while the truly Bruneian Kampong Ayer water village offers a glimpse of the nation’s quaint Asian charm. Beneath Bandar Seri Begawan’s lavish adornments, gold towers, sparkling fountains and colourful mosaic tiles, lies a city steeped in quiet respect, grounded in Islamic tradition, and exuding a sense of peace that makes it one of Asia’s most distinctive capital cities..

Shopping

Yayasan
The biggest mall in Brunei, but, virtually nothing BIG to offer. There are shops, both native products or handicrafts and electronics, toys stores, groceries. Designers stuff is not a pop-culture in Brunei so you won't find much. Even if there's not much to buy here, you can still enjoy the amenities - there are good restaurants and fastfood chains, coffeeshops - and the Kampong Ayer and the huge mosque are around the mall.


The Mall Gadong
The Mall, Gadong is a bold, futuristic complex that will set the standards of Brunei Darussalam’s retail industry. Combining a host of amenities, the complex comprises of The Mall, international  hotel and convention/meeting areas.
