Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia, is located on the northwestern coast of Tahiti in the southern Pacific Ocean and is the political, economic and cultural center of the region. As a major port city, it connects the islands of French Polynesia to the globe and, with its international airport, serves as a gateway to Polynesia for tourists. The city combines Polynesian traditions with French flavor: open-air markets selling fresh fruit and handicrafts, the smell of coffee on the waterfront streets, and traditional Tahitian dance performances at night. With a pleasant climate, an average annual temperature of 24-30°C, and surrounded by turquoise lagoons and black sand beaches, it is a starting point for exploring Polynesian culture and an ideal destination for a tropical island vacation.
