Nouméa Travel Safety Guide — New Caledonia

Safety Score: 7.5/10 · Value: 6/10 · Beauty: 8.4/10

Nouméa is one of the most surprising cities in the Pacific, a genuinely French city with excellent cuisine, wine bars, and a European urban sensibility, surrounded by a UNESCO World Heritage lagoon that is among the world's largest coral reef ecosystems. New Caledonia's lagoon covers 24,000 km², bigger than the entire country of Belgium. The indigenous Kanak culture adds extraordinary depth, the Tjibaou Cultural Centre (designed by Renzo Piano) is one of the finest architectural achievements in Oceania.
