Visiting Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam


Bandar Seri Begawan is a city of two terrains: the stilted water villages that make up some of the city's historic aquatic districts stretch out into the sea, while drier districts spread out over the flatter areas of land. The beaches around the area offer vibrant undersea life, drawing scuba enthusiasts and snorkelers from around the world. Above ground the gold-domed Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque dazzles with its intricate marble design and museums provide ample cultural stimulation.

Destinations of the Day
Paphos, Cyprus
  • Resident population: 27,000 (est.)
  • Major features: historic buildings, beaches
  • 9,240 TripAdvisor reviews of 252 accommodations, 21 attractions and 79 restaurants
Paphos, the capital of western Cyprus, has some serious historical clout. Site of the vast fourth-century BC Tombs of the Kings, set high on a cliff above the sparkling sea, as well as a dramatic Byzantine castle and fine mosaics, it's also known as the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite.
Bangkok, Thailand
  • Resident population: 5,658,953 Annual visitors: 10,350,000 (est.)
  • Major features: temples, palaces, nightlife
  • 31,396 TripAdvisor reviews of 703 accommodations, 199 attractions and 613 restaurants
Bangkok is a city to overload the senses. Streets are crowded by tuk-tuks (motorized tri-shaws) and the occasional elephant weaving through congested traffic.
Honolulu, Hawaii
  • Resident population: 374,676 Annual visitors: 1,733,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, surfing, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head
  • 32,416 TripAdvisor reviews of 412 accommodations, 208 attractions and 1,129 restaurants
If you visit Honolulu simply for the wide Pacific beaches, the striking views of Ko'olau's pali (cliffs) and the laid-back "aloha" feeling, you'll be missing out on much this city has to offer.
Miami Beach, Florida
  • Resident population: 87,925 Annual visitors: 10,000,000 (est.)
  • Major features: nightlife, beaches, shopping, art museums
  • 26,027 TripAdvisor reviews of 353 accommodations, 71 attractions and 404 restaurants
South Beach, or SoBe, is Miami Beach's buzziest bit. The vibrant area, with its pastel-hued buildings, hip nightclubs, trendy shops and see-and-be-seen restaurants, attracts socialites and their satellites year-round.
Maui, Hawaii
  • Resident population: 117,644 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, hiking, water sports
  • 32,575 TripAdvisor reviews of 732 accommodations, 274 attractions and 533 restaurants
If watching the sunrise from atop a 10,000-foot volcano, swimming under waterfalls, hiking through craters and luxuriating on white-, red- and even black-sand beaches sounds like paradise, then Maui awaits.
