Jayapura is the capital and the biggest city of this eastern most province. It is a neat and pleasant city , built on the slope of a hill overlooking the bay. General Douglas Mc Arthur's World War II quarters still stand here. The Museum Jayapura is located inside the Cendrawasih University campus. Tanjung Ria beach known as base the Allies during the WW II, is a popular holiday resort with facilities for water sports.

From skyline in the hills behind the city, one gets a beautiful view of Jayapura, Jotefa and Humboldt bays and the lake Sentani area. There is a settlement on the shore of this lake not far from Jayapura where one can observe local traditionals as they are practise in the daily lives of the people. The short trip from Jayapura, pleasant as it is offers a little foretaste of the province's magnificent sceneries
