Discover Suva

As the center of British colonial administration from 1882, Victorian government buildings, churches and the historic Grand Pacific Hotel still shape the cityscape today, giving Fiji's largest city a distinctly British-Pacific character.

Unlike the drier tourist towns in the west of the main island, Suva lies on the windward side of Viti Levu, resulting in significantly higher rainfall and lush, tropical green vegetation around the city.

The national museum, located in Thurston Gardens, preserves a significant collection of traditional war canoes, war clubs and artifacts of Fijian history, including relics from before European colonization.

The oldest botanical garden in the South Pacific, located in the heart of the city, offers a peaceful green retreat amid the bustling capital, with rare tropical plants and a small clock tower.

Nadi International Airport lies about 200 kilometers away, from where Suva can be reached by car or bus in about four hours along the Kings Highway coastal road; a smaller regional airport also serves Suva.
