Honolulu is the capital and the largest city in Hawaii with a population estimated at over 400,000. Despite its size, the city is actually one of the most remote cities in the world. It acts as the transportation junction of the Pacific ocean, connecting East with West and making the city the trading hub of the Hawaiian islands.
Honolulu is well-known for hosting a variety of cultured traditions which range from traditions of East, West and Pacific culture and cuisine. It is also ranked as the second safest city in the United States with Sunnyvale, California being ranked first.
Alongside the beautiful weather and stunning beaches which make Honolulu a hot spot for tourists, the city is a great place to study. Honolulu has three Universities, the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Chaminade University and Hawaii Pacific University. Top places to visit in Honolulu include the USS Arizona Memorial, part of the Pearl Harbour historical site, (also a tourist destination) as well as Iolani Palace and the Makapuu Lighthouse trail. .
