As Fiji's former capital, Levuka is renowned for its well-preserved colonial architecture and was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013.

Levuka is surrounded by lush green hills and overlooks the tranquil waters of the Koro Sea, offering stunning natural beauty and a peaceful environment. The town's history is deeply intertwined with the cultural and political development of Fiji, and it serves as a living museum where visitors can explore landmarks such as the Levuka Town Hall, the Old Government Buildings, and the Levuka Public School, the oldest modern school in the Pacific Islands, established in 1879. Despite its historical significance, Levuka remains a functioning town with local businesses, a market, and friendly residents who maintain their traditional way of life.
