Travel Tips from people who've been to Port Moresby
Beware this place is considered dangerous for a reason. Go around only in taxis. The centre is a dead loss and the seafront a disgrace. However, the hotel area nearer the airport is not too bad. A visit to the parliament may be a highlight. Don't expect too much, but the people are friendly.

Keep your windows rolled up and the doors locked it you are a white person. Racism is still very common and can easily lead to violence. I saw more than one race riot while I was there, and that was only for a week.

Don't wander the streets of Port Moresby, unless your with a armed security contingent and have enough guns to arm a small African nation in the midst of a revolution....
