Vila Town...

by CandS - last update: May 14, 2004

Markets in Port Vila
Port Vila is the capital city (town) of Vanuatu with a population of around 36,000 people. It is found on the island of Efate, where most tourists spend their time when in Vanuatu.

Vila is a very laid back town and isn't overly active, especially at night. Some days the cars and buses go mad on the streets and other days it seems there is no one around.

I really enjoyed walking the streets of Vila and looking through the markets and shops...and chatting to the friendly locals.

 We were there 3 years ago so it may have changed...although we didn't have a Mastercard, only a Visacard so maybe that's the difference. Either way, it didn't work when we were there. :(

 We experienced no problems with atm's in Port Vila. We happily withdrew cash from our Westpac Mastercard at the Westpac ATM in the main street, and cash from our linked Visa debit/credit account from the ANZ ATM as well.

 Just got back from Vanuatu. Watch out for Barry driving the "Blue Vergin" mini van. He definitely knows how to rip off the tourists charging us $180 for a 15km. journey.
