15 Best Things To Do in Honolulu, Hawaii

About Honolulu

Most people only know of Hawaii as a state and aren’t familiar with every city, but chances are you know Honolulu. Since it's easily accessible through direct flights, Honolulu gets a lot of visitors every year who come to the city to enjoy the tropical climate and learn the history of Pearl Harbor.

Besides Pearl Harbor, the city has two other sections, including downtown and Waikiki. The former is a historical area where museums, statues, and historic buildings delight the tourists, whereas the latter is covered with a beautiful beach and an abundance of shops, restaurants, and hotels.

Other than its natural beauty, the city is also known for being home to the USS Arizona Memorial, which pays tribute to the people who lost their lives when the USS Arizona was bombed in 1941.
