Something not to miss is the free Royal Treasures Museum. You can see the sultan's coronation regalia as well as a myriad of gifts presented to His Majesty by various heads of state.

If you are interested in seeing a water village, take a river taxi to Kampung Ayer, where you can walk around on wooden planks that connect some of the houses.

The Jerudong Playground was once one of Brunei's major attraction because it was like a free Disneyland. However, they began charging admission in and since the amusement park is located in a suburb, you will have to take an expensive taxi back to your hotel.

To pick up some groceries or just long for a stroll in the mall, you can shop at The Mall, Brunei's only shopping mall. It's right across from the mosque and although very sterile, it has many brand name shops.
