Details About Nuku'alofa
Destinations » Hawaii and South Pacific » South Pacific » Nuku'alofa
With a capital whose name translates as 'Abode of Love', there has to be something going on in the Friendly Islands that we don't know about. Most Tongans are warm and welcoming, but it's difficult to see how they could be otherwise when home is a series of lush Pacific islands, bordered by unbelievable beaches, surrounded by coral reefs, basking under a tropical sun. That's hard to beat.
Attractions
- The most unique attraction is the Royal Palace in the heart of downtown. Although not open to the public, you get a good view from the waterfront of the colonial wooden building which was built in 1867.
- Another attraction is the Royal Tombs, set in a manicured park which is closed to the public though visible through the fence.
- If you want to get close to Royalty, attend the Centenary Church on Sunday - this is where the King and Queen worship.
Currency
The local currency used in Nuku'alofa is the Tongan Pa'anga. Travellers cheques and credit cards are accepted by the larger hotels but most guest houses accept only cash.
