Suva, Fiji | The Ultimate City Walk Guide 🌿
While most visitors to Fiji head straight to the resort islands, if you have time, don’t skip Suva—the country’s charming capital. It may not have postcard-perfect beaches, but it’s the perfect place to dive into Fiji’s culture and history. 🌟 Highlights of the Route 🚶 Start at Suva Handicraft Market → Stroll south along Victoria Parade (the scenic waterfront road). 🌳 Pass by Ratu Sukuna Park, a small but lively green space. 🏛️ Explore key landmarks clustered together: Fintel Building (historic telecom hub) Old Town Hall Suva City Library Olympic Swimming Pool 🏢 Continue south to the Government Buildings (neoclassical colonial architecture). 🏟️ Albert Park – A massive sports field where locals play rugby (Fiji’s national obsession!). 🌺 Cross Queen Elizabeth Drive into Thurston Gardens (don’t expect flowers—it’s more about towering trees and the iconic Botanical Garden Clock Tower). ⏰ Next to the clock tower: Fiji Museum (a must-visit! Small but packed with fascinating artifacts—from war clubs to tribal canoes). 🔁 This route can also be walked in reverse! 🚶 Getting Around Walk! Suva is compact, and all sights are within easy strolling distance. 🕒 Opening Hours Fiji Museum: Mon-Sat (closed Sun) Municipal Market: Mon-Fri (until 6PM), Sat (until 4:30PM), closed Sunday ⏳ Suggested Duration Half a day is plenty. ⚠️ Key Tip Sundays = Rest Day! Fijians take Sunday seriously—most shops, markets, and attractions are closed. Plan accordingly (or embrace the slow pace!). 📸 Perfect for: Culture seekers, history buffs, and slow travelers who want to see the real Fiji beyond the resorts. #FijiTravel #CityWalk #Suva #CulturalExploration #TravelSlow #HiddenGems
