古晋是马来西亚砂捞越州的首府，可能是马来西亚最美丽的城市了。城市到处是参天大树，热带奇花异草随处可见，犹如一座森林城市。
古晋景点多集中在市区，步行便可。市区的众多博物馆也都是免费开放的。过江的渡船收费仅4角马币。对岸的城堡和植物园也是免费开放的。
砂捞越的居民以各个土著民族为主，其中Iban为最大族群，多信奉基督教。华人居次，占23%，集中在城市中。马来人则不到23%。此地鲜少印度裔。因华人多居城市，古晋的华人比例则更大，市中心主要商业街都以华人店铺为主，饮食也以中餐居多。

The Sarawak Museum, straddling both sides of Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, has one of the best collections in Southeast Asia. The old wing, opened in 1891, is designed in the style of a Normandy town-house. It houses an exceptional ethnographic collection, some good natural history displays and a section on the oil industry in Sarawak. The exhibition of traditional wood-carvings on the first floor is magnificent. Open daily, admission free.
