About Suva
Suva, Fiji's lively capital, is the South Pacific's largest city and a cultural melting pot, with colonial architecture, a bustling municipal market and a strong arts and university scene. Its hillier, wetter setting than Fiji's resort coasts gives it a green, layered backdrop, while nearby waterfalls and botanical gardens offer easy escapes from the urban energy.
