Port Moresby, also referred to as Pom City or simply Moresby, is the capital and largest city of Papua New Guinea. It is one of the largest cities in the southwestern Pacific outside of Australia and New Zealand. It is located on the shores of the Coral Sea, on the south-western coast of the Papuan Peninsula of the island of New Guinea. The city emerged as a trade centre in the second half of the 19th century. During World War II, it was a prime objective for conquest by the Imperial Japanese forces during 1942–1943 as a staging point and air base to cut off Australia from Southeast Asia and the Americas. Due to its population and outsized influence compared to other cities in Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby may be regarded as a primate city.

As the capital city of Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby is a bustling hub of culture, history, and natural beauty. Nestled on the shores of the Coral Sea, the city boasts stunning views of the ocean and the surrounding hills. Whether you're an adventure seeker looking to explore the rugged terrain of the country, or a history buff wanting to learn about the rich cultural heritage of the region, Port Moresby has something to offer everyone.

One of the most popular attractions in the city is the National Museum and Art Gallery. Here, you can explore the history of Papua New Guinea, from its early settlers to its modern-day culture. The museum houses an extensive collection of artifacts, including traditional masks, weapons, and pottery, giving you a glimpse into the daily life of the country's diverse communities.
