The capital city of Samoa, situated on the northern coast of Upolu island, Apia is a small Pacific city where traditional Samoan fa'a Samoa culture remains central to daily life alongside colonial-era architecture and an active waterfront market. The Robert Louis Stevenson Museum at Vailima, the writer's former home above the city, is one of the most significant literary heritage sites in the Pacific. The town's fish market operates in the early hours of each morning.
