Apia, Capital city in Upolu Island, Samoa

Located on the northern shore of Upolu Island, Apia extends around a natural harbor with the Vaisigano River flowing through its center.

German colonists established administrative control of Apia from 1900 to 1914, before New Zealand assumed governance after Germany's World War I defeat.

The Samoa Cultural Village on Beach Road displays traditional practices including wood carving, weaving techniques, and ceremonial tattooing methods.

The central Marketi Fou market at Fugalei Street provides fresh local produce, traditional crafts, and authentic Samoan clothing every day except Sunday.

The Royal Samoan Police Band performs morning marches along Beach Road during weekdays, continuing a tradition from the colonial period.
