Things to see and do

Choose the National Museum and Art Gallery or Port Moresby Nature Park, and confirm access and transport beforehand.

Practical tips

Street crime requires a carefully planned route with reliable local arrangements. Check advice for the Highland provinces separately.

Getting there and getting around

A prearranged transfer from Jacksons Airport is sensible; spontaneous, unplanned journeys should not form the basis of your itinerary.

Where to stay

Ask about security, water, backup power and hotel transport, especially for an early flight.

What to try

Fish, taro, sweet potatoes and sago products feature in the country's cuisines; traditions vary by region.
