Suva Travel Guide

Fiji's capital on Viti Levu, where diverse cultures meet among the Fiji Museum and colonial buildings.

📍 Destination Overview

Suva, Fiji's capital, largest city and main port, sits on the wetter southeast of Viti Levu—unlike the dry, resort-focused west, a vibrant, multicultural city of local flavour. The Fiji Museum in Thurston Gardens, with ancient canoes and treasures, is the key window into Fijian history; colonial buildings and green parks remain, and the lively market sells tropical fruits and kava.
