Honolulu is the capital and the most populous city of the island and the entire State of Hawaii. As the economic center of Hawaii, Honolulu is often referred to as the business and trade capital of the pacific.
From a postal system perspective, Honolulu encompasses the entire south side of the island of Oahu from Moanalua Valley/Airport area, through Nuuanu and Manoa area, down to the Diamond Head and Kahala areas. This lends to some confusion because most locals refer to “Honolulu” as the Downtown Honolulu area (or “Town” as they would say). When you hear someone say they are going to Town, they are usually referring to Downtown Honolulu, perhaps the busy business district and/or Waikiki areas. The neighborhoods the from the business district down to the end of Waikiki from the ocean to the mountains are all considered as Town.

As a “Townie” (name Downtown Honolulu residents often refer to themselves as), you’d be able to walk to your favorite restaurant, visit the Honolulu Zoo, enjoy a relaxing day on the sand at Waikiki Beach, have a picnic at Ala Moana Beach Park or Kapiolani Park, shop till you drop at Ala Moana Mall, catch an evening show at one of the many hotels, visit Iolani Palace or the State Capitol, rock or jam at a concert at the Waikiki Shell, check out the nightlife scene, etc. Whew! Lots to do, that’s for sure!
