Port Moresby Travel Safety Guide — Papua New Guinea

Safety Score: 4/10 · Value: 5.5/10 · Beauty: 6.7/10

Port Moresby is one of the world's most challenging capitals, consistently rated among the least safe cities globally, it requires significant preparation and usually guided or corporate-arranged travel. But Papua New Guinea itself is extraordinarily rich: 850+ languages (the world's highest linguistic diversity), entirely intact rainforest covering 70% of the country, the Kokoda Track (WWII history), world-class diving in Milne Bay, and tribal cultures largely unchanged for thousands of years. For the prepared traveller, PNG is one of the last great frontiers.
