Driving in Bandar Seri Begawan

Driving is on the left-hand side of the road, same as the UK. However, be aware that the general speed limit in urban areas is 50 km/h, and 80 km/h on highways, which is slower compared to the UK. British visitors do not need an International Driving Permit, but it’s beneficial to have one.

Car Rental Options

Choose from a wide array of vehicles, from modern sedans to sturdy 4x4 SUVs, to suit your travel preferences. Do take into consideration the typically hot and rainy climate while selecting your dream ride. Most car rental facilities can be found at the Brunei International Airport or in the city centre.

Parking

Parking is usually hassle-free. The city provides both free and paid parking options. However, avoiding peak hours (7:30-9:00 AM and 4:30-6:00 PM) is advisable due to potential traffic congestion.

  • Kampong Ayer, the "Venice of The East", can be explored by water taxi.
  • The Royal Regalia Museum showcasing the Sultan's grandeur.
  • Ulu Temburong National Park offers a taste of the Bornean rainforest.

Local Insights

With Bandar Seri Begawan's high humidity, always remember to stay hydrated. You're advised to dress modestly in public places in respect to the local culture. The primary language is Malay, though English is widely spoken. The local currency is the Brunei Dollar (BND), which has a 1:1 exchange rate with the Singapore Dollar. Due to the country being a dry state, alcohol isn't served at most places, however, non-Muslim foreigners can bring in 2 litres of spirits or wine and 12 cans of beer for personal consumption.

Seasonal Events

Plan around events like Hari Raya Aidilfitri and National Day for a vibrant cultural experience. Do note that shops and services may be affected during these times.
