Honolulu, Hawaii
- Resident population: 374,676 Annual visitors: 1,733,000 (est.)
- Major features: beaches, surfing, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head
- 32,039 TripAdvisor reviews of 415 accommodations, 206 attractions and 1,128 restaurants
If you visit Honolulu simply for the wide Pacific beaches, the striking views of Ko'olau's pali (cliffs) and the laid-back "aloha" feeling, you'll be missing out on much this city has to offer.
