Question 2

Is Bandar Seri Begawan walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in the centre. Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, the Royal Regalia Museum, Tamu Kianggeh and the waterfront sit close together. Kampong Ayer is reached by water taxi; Jame’ Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque in Gadong is farther out.

Purple city buses help with distance: routes 01 and 22 run to Gadong for Jame’ Asr, while 39 or 42 head towards Kota Batu. Water taxis shuttle to Kampong Ayer from the waterfront. For comfort or day trips beyond the city, consider a private tour in Bandar Seri Begawan.
