Though stilt villages still dominate its capital city (Bandar Seri Begawan), Brunei is not a backwater oil rig. In fact there are plenty of spaceship-like mosques, museums and a myriad of monuments to keep you occupied for a few days in and around the micronation. Most of Bruneis sightseeing attractions are located within the Bandar Seri Begawan city limits including the Royal Regalia museum, jame asr hassanil Bolkiah Mosque, Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, Brunei Museum and Kampong Ayer.
