Port Moresby

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.
