# Suva VS Nadi Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji
Ludovictoutain 22:11 UTC 07 May 2017 | Hello i am from New Zealand and I'm thinking about going to Fiji for some days (less than a week). Is Suva any good or is it enough to go to Nadi and Lautoka ? Also how do the public buses work ? Thanks ! |
Laszlo 22:26 UTC 07 May 2017 | Suva is much nicer and more interesting than either Nadi or Lautoka, though Nadi is a handy base for quick trips to the Mamanuca or Yasawa Islands. The public buses are basic but cheap and frequent, meaning they work perfectly fine. | 1
Ludovictoutain 01:42 UTC 08 May 2017 | Thank you for the advice ! Do you know where I could find the public buses planing ? | 2
Laszlo 02:17 UTC 08 May 2017 | At the respective bus stations in Nadi and Suva. :-) There is no need to plan anything in advance. Buses run frequently throughout the day, and advance booking is unnecessary. | 3
jbinternational 07:45 UTC 08 May 2017 | you can fly direct to Suva now from NZ, not sure what days or where from in NZ, there are interesting things to see in Suva, and easy to get to close by islands like Leluvia or Ovalau, you can check the Pacific Bus time table on line but there are others, and could also go for a round the island bus ride stopping in Raki Raki for a night and see Lautoka on the way | 4
travelthefire 03:30 UTC 10 May 2017 | I lived in both Nadi and Suva when I lived in Fiji. The best place to spend time, in my opinion, would be the Pacific Harbour. It was always my favorite spot in the country to chill out. | 5
