For those that wish to travel to BSB, route via airplanes or roads are available...
Flights are via AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines or Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA). RBA offers flight from BSB to many destinations include Dubai, London, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching and Auckland.
Sometimes there is last minute deal on Royal Brunei, so although you may only travel next week there's still some good price (for example, like me, I travel from Kota Kinabalu to BSB, costs about RM100, usually good deals are only available online...)
Places that be a must to visit includes Brunei Musuem, and Royal Regalia. There's about other 10 musuems that include Maritime Musuem and Malay Technology Musuem as well...yet if you are really short of time, then visit to those 2 will be most important!
In food, the only difference between Brunei's and Malaysia's food are the ambuyat (a sago product, eaten with special sauce) and nasi katok. Nasi katok usually cost you about B$1.00.
(p/s: Actually Malaysians' Sarawak also got 'ambuyat' or similar product, yet it may be available only at different name, and most famous at Dalat/Oya/Mukah region of Sarawak, near to the Sibu city.)
Kampong Ayer or Water Village at BSB is quite beautiful as well...a boat ride of 1 hour usually costs you B$20-30, yet it can bargained! So the cost will be significantly cheaper per person if you can just get a boat ride of 4-6 people, as the cost can be shared! And some interesting places can be seen at Kampong Ayer include mosque beside tranquill water, school on water, as well as some very unique boats!
(p/s: The Bruneians call Kampong Ayer as 'Venice of the East" at Brunei Darussalam!
