Also known as Pom Town, Port Moresby is the capital of Papua New Guinea. The city is comprised of a diverse collection of spread-out neighbourhoods, from modern office areas and a glitzy marina full of yachts to sprawling shanty towns. While the capital’s star attraction is the small peaceful Loloata Island, where wallabies still hop freely, other popular attractions include the National Museum and Art Gallery, home to one of the world’s best primitive art collections, and the National Capital Botanical Gardens, filled with birds of paradise, cassowaries and tree kangaroos. Don’t miss the traditional stilt villages of Hanuabada Poreporena on the outskirts of the city, which perch precariously over the water's edge.
