Overview
Take a trip to Port Moresby on your Papua New Guinea Vacation
Port Moresby, named after an English seafaring captain, one John Moresby and the country’s first European visitor, is the capital of Papua New Guinea and the South Pacific’s largest city. It is a place to enjoy a quick stopover before visiting the highlights and beauty of the rest of the country on Papua New Guinea tours.
The Parliament Haus is Papua New Guinea’s most impressive building. One can also spend time at the Botanical Gardens with its collection of wildlife and tropical birds, the National Orchid Garden, the monthly Ela Beach Craft Market to purchase carvings and handwoven baskets and Touaguba Hill for a great panoramic view of the city.
Nearby are some good diving sites on Papua New Guinea tours due to the reefs and wrecks there.

What do the experts say?
You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.
What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.
Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.
I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.
The Festes Majors are summer festivals held in the villages of Andorra. Each festival is unique to the village, with its own distinct style.
