Nuku'alofa is the charming and relaxed capital of Tonga. It's a great place to wander around, taking in the mix of colonial and traditional architecture, and to people-watch in the lively main square. There's also a great market, where you can buy everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to traditional handicrafts. If you're lucky, you might be in town when one of the many festivals or religious ceremonies is taking place. Nuku'alofa is a great place to base yourself if you want to explore more of Tonga - it's well connected to the rest of the country by bus.
