Oahu is the busiest and the most complex island in the Hawaiian chain, but it’s still relatively easy to learn your way around. Because it has a reliable public transportation system, this is also the one island where it’s possible to get around without a rental car. Included here are maps of Honolulu, Oahu’s biggest city and the state capital, and Waikiki, the beachfront neighborhood where you’ll probably spend most of your time. Reviewing them will undoubtedly come in handy during your trip.

Honolulu on Oahu Island
A big, bustling city, Honolulu is approximately 12 miles wide and 26 miles long, bounded by Diamond Head crater to the east and Pearl Harbor to the west. Hawaii's capital city folds over seven hills laced by seven streams and runs down to the sea. Its one-way streets make getting around a bit complicated, but with a good map in hand, you won’t have a problem.
