Suva, Fiji

Capital City

With a population of just 88,271, Suva may be the capital of Fiji, but it's no tropical paradise. The city's rainy climate is a constant headache, with over 3,000 mm of precipitation annually. And while Suva boasts a diverse, multicultural population, navigating the bureaucratic special administrators running the city is a persistent challenge. Still, for those drawn to the South Pacific's economic and cultural hub, Suva offers a lively arts scene and shopping opportunities unmatched elsewhere in the region.
