The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Port Moresby, Papua Region
Port Moresby (/ˌpɔːrt ˈmɔːrzbi/; Tok Pisin: Pot Mosbi), also referred to as Pom City or simply Moresby, is the capital and largest city of Papua New Guinea and the largest city in the South Pacific outside of Australia and New Zealand. It is located on the shores of the Gulf of Papua, on the south-western coast of the Papuan Peninsula of the island of New Guinea. The city emerged as a trade centre in the second half of the 19th century. During World War II it was a prime objective for conquest by the Imperial Japanese forces during 1942–43 as a staging point and air base to cut off Australia from Southeast Asia and the Americas.

A beautiful area to walk and soak up the serenity of the place. If you are a fan of war cemeteries and especially of Australian war dead, this is the place to visit . Again as it is located outside Port Moresby, it is highly recommend to ensure you travel with a reputable tour group or have security escort with you. Unfortunately Port Moresby is not safe to travel by yourself.

The blend of old and new is strikingly exemplified in the Parliament House, which combines modern architecture with ancient design.

Apart from the Parliament with its lovely PNG art and carvings, the grounds are worth a walk around too. Ponds and sculptures are spread out and are nice to see. Also take note of the impressive art work at the entrance As to getting there highly recommend a tour as doing it independently is risky. This area unfortunately is not safe due to the high rate of crime.
