Honolulu
Description Positioned along the edge of the Pacific Ocean on the island of Oahu, Honolulu is the largest city in the Hawaiian Islands, and its vibrant capital city.
Honolulu which means "sheltered bay" in Hawaiian, is a bustling, lively place and the epicenter for most Hawaiian travel, as from here it's an easy springboard to the outer islands.
Travelers from around the world journey to Honolulu to enjoy sparkling beaches, outstanding weather, and the Aloha Spirit of the Hawaiian people. And during their journey they often visit its major attractions of Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head and the breathtaking views along Waikiki Beach.
Fast Facts
Located in Honolulu's City Center, Iolani Palace is the only royal palace in the United States, and the traditional seat of the Hawaiian monarchy. The palace was illuminated with electric lights several years before the White House had them!
Parts, or all, of hundreds of movies and television shows were filmed in Honolulu. One of the most popular 70's police dramas, Hawaii Five-0, was also one of the most memorable.

Major Honolulu Attractions
Check out our Honolulu Attractions Map for great places to go and things to do on your Hawaii vacation.
USS Arizona MemorialThe USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor is indeed ground zero for Oahu visitors, as this is where World War II began for the U.S.
The attack by the Empire of Japan in 1941 changed the course of history. The memorial is built over the hull of the sunken battleship USS Arizona, which is the moving resting place for many of the 1,177 Americans who lost their lives during the initial Japanese attack.
The Arizona tour includes a sobering interpretive film presented at the visitor center, a short boat trip and a self-guided exploration of the memorial.
Waikiki BeachWaikiki Beach is one of Hawaii's most exciting places to visit, as it may be the most famous beach in the world. In fact, Waikiki Beach is visited by an average of 72,000 tourists each day. That's about 45% of all the vacationers in Hawaii during a 24 hour period!
With the Pacific Ocean on one side and high class hotels, clubs, shops and restaurants on the other, Waikiki Beach delivers some of Hawaii's best surfing, teeny bikinis and awesome natural beauty. So soak up the sun, swim, surf, snorkel or try out the unique Waikiki tradition - the outrigger canoe ride.
Diamond HeadLocated on Oahu, just two miles from Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head is the most famous volcanic crater in the world. The Diamond Head Volcano itself is the unofficial symbol of the Hawaii Islands. This volcano, extinct for 150,000 years, has a 3,520 feet diameter and a 760-foot summit. Unforgettable views at the top include panoramic vistas of the Pacific Ocean and the entire west side of the island. Visit these city pages for more great things to do in Hawaii:
