Honolulu, Hawaii, United States of America - Big Pineapple
In many ways much more Asian than American, Honolulu is Hawaii's largest city and its centre of government, transportation, commerce, and tourism. Most travellers enter Hawaii through this city, so this is not the place for those wishing to get away from it all. A fast-paced and crowded urban centre, Honolulu still manages to retain much of its laid-back atmosphere and traditional culture. The city's varied neighbourhoods offer a selection of vacation ideas for every visitor, from sandy beaches crowded with surfers and swimmers to the quieter areas just north of downtown, which harbour picturesque snorkelling spots and pristine parks abundant in native plant and animal life.
