Climb the 199 stairs: Take a slow climb up the 199 steps of Mission Hill and be rewarded by
views over Levuka and far to sea. You’ll pass some of the town’s lovely old homes, schools and other
significant structures.
Catch a rugby match: As with anywhere in Fiji, you don’t have to go far to see an impromptu
rugby match, but if you are super keen to see the provincial talent, the Yalovata Lomaiviti 7s are on
January 11-13, 2024 in Levuka.
Take in the sea breeze: Simply stroll or sit by the sea wall and watch the foot and boat traffic.
Marketing: While the new Levuka market is being built, vendors continue to sell their wares from
tents on Beach Road. Levuka also recently saw the launch of the First Capital monthly market day,
held on the first Saturday of each month. Levuka also has some great old-school shops where a bit
of digging can unearth treasures.
Where to eat
The famous Kinman may have taken his chef’s knife to Vanua Levu, but the re-named Uptown
Cafe still has the best view, and some of the tastiest food in town.
