Apia

Overview

Take a trip to Apia on your Samoa vacation.

Apia is the largest urban centre and only city in Samoa on the second largest island in the country, Upolu. It is located at the mouth of a river on the coast. The city of Apia is bustling and friendly, a good starting point for travel around the country on Samoa vacations. There are still some early wooden colonial buildings scattered around the city and the traditional Polynesian lifestyle can be seen throughout the markets, churches and streets of Apia.

Nearby and hovering over the city is Mount Vaea which can be climbed reasonably easily. Its main interest is the Vailima Museum which was formerly the home of Robert Louis Stevenson, the Scottish writer who spent the last four years of his life in Samoa and is buried close by.
