Robert Louis Stevenson's grave
Climb the shallower path up to Robert Louis Stevenson's grave. The guide suggests this is an easy hour-long walk in the early morning. Bring water and enjoy the view across the Pacific before the heat sets in.

Head down to Bistro Tatau for a late morning or early lunch. This Australian-run restaurant is considered the closest to Michelin quality in the city. Note that it is open for lunch from 12:00 to 14:00, so time your climb to arrive just before or during this window.
07:10
Walk over to Marketi Fou, the main produce market in Apia. It operates six days a week and offers a great selection of local food, exotic fruits like mangoes and pawpaw, and fresh limes. It is a vibrant place to soak in the local atmosphere and grab a snack or drink.
Local tip
The climb to the grave can take about an hour. If it has rained heavily, the path may be slippery, so check the weather and consider the steeper downhill path only if it has been dry recently. Bistro Tatau is open for lunch between 12:00 and 14:00, so plan your ascent to ensure you make it in time.
