Port Vila was initially overshadowed by the settlement at Havannah Harbour. After a long drought in 1882 and several malarial outbreaks, however, Efate’s commercial centre moved to Vila Bay. In 1906 Vila was declared the national capital and the seat of the newly proclaimed Condominium government. Port Vila is Vanuatu’s most important harbour and the centre of the country’s trade. Some top sights in the area include; Iririki Island, Erakor Island, Erakor Lagoon, Vanuatu National Museum, Michoutouchkine and Pilioko Foundation Art Gallery, Vanuatu Cultural Centre and several others.
