Suva is the capital of Fiji and is a beautiful harbour city built on a peninsular reaching out into the sea. Its tall modern buildings are beautifully balanced by rich tranditional colonial architecture. The city is perched on a hilly peninsula between Laucala Bay and Suva Harbour in the southeast corner of Viti Levu. The mountains north and west catch the southeast trade winds, producing moist conditions year round.
An exciting multi racial, Suva began as a late Victorian village with frame houses and stores along the beachfront. Much of its past still survives, for there are many small, quaint wooden bungalows in the old section which sit in juxtaposition to the modern offices and shopping plazas.

Government House, the official residence of the president of the republic of Fiji. The museum is recognised as some of the best of its type in the South Pacific and not to be missed is the sprawling complex of municipal markets near the waterfront, which comes to life on Fridays and Saturdays.
Here you'll find an assortment of artefacts and handicrafts for sale, made by Fijians throughout the island group.
