Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Walk
Kuching Waterfront
The Kuching Waterfront runs along the Sarawak River between views of buildings and public spaces. The walks are distinguished from the crossings and cruises, the departures of which must be confirmed.
Museum
Borneo Cultures Museum
The Borneo Cultures Museum presents collections on Borneo's cultures and environment. Galleries and exhibitions provide landmarks to understand Sarawak's diversity, depending on the open spaces.
Historical Site
Fort Margherita
Fort Margherita stands on the north bank of the Sarawak. Its building and accessible presentations allow to understand part of the history of power in Kuching; check access to the site.
Architecture
Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building
The building of the Sarawak Legislative Assembly consists of a recognizable silhouette on the bank. The exterior view from the public spaces does not mean that the institutional spaces are open to visitors.
