To the newly arrived traveler, Papeete might seem like a modest city lost in the middle of the Pacific. But Papeete remains the largest city within a 4,000 km radius. Vibrant by day, Papeete extends its influence farther than many of the world's largest metropolises. Papeete and Tahiti are a major economic hub for French Polynesia and Eastern Polynesia. In spite of the slanderous comments made by some about the city's appearance and the excessive cost of living there, Papeete remains a pleasant place and a must-see stop. You can stroll along the port, from early in the morning when the cargo ships and ferries are in motion to late in the evening when the caravans are set up to prepare food from all over the world. You will appreciate the thousand colors and flavors of the central market, stroll through the streets or enjoy the warm nights of Papeete.
