From Diamond Head to Waikiki Beach to Pearl Harbor and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, Oahu's Honolulu area is home to a series of landmark attractions known throughout the world.

All are well worth seeing, but the island's geographic and cultural attractions are by no means limited to these well-known sites. Honolulu proper is also home to two world-class museums of fine art (The Honolulu Academy of Arts and The Contemporary Museum); some of the state's best luau where visitors can get a taste of Polynesian culture; 'Iolani Palace and the Mission Houses Museum; the state legislature; historic Chinatown and much more.
