Introduction
Suva is Fiji's capital and commercial centre, and the largest urban area in the South Pacific outside of Australia and New Zealand. The city's wet weather shouldn't deter you from visiting the grand colonial buildings, parks and broad avenues. A population of Indians, Fijians, Chinese, Polynesians and people from all parts of the world make this a fascinating multi-cultural melting pot.

Events and Festivals
Weather
Suva is noted for its wet weather. Still, it enjoys a mild tropical climate with year-round temperatures around 25 °C with a generally high humidity. May to October is the dry season, also known as the "Fiji Winter". The weather is slightly cooler and less rainfall and humidity make it a good time of the year to visit.
Getting There
By Plane
Nausori International Airport (SUV) is 23 kilometres northeast of central Suva. Air Pacific and Air Fiji offer flights to other airports in Fiji and the South Pacific, including flights to Auckland, Sydney, Tonga and Tuvalu, as well as domestic flights.
Most international flights to Fiji land at Nadi International Airport (NAN) on the other side of the island.
