The Smallest Country Capital in the World

How many of us have fantasized about spending an island vacation on a deserted beach with miles of white sand sprinkled with coconut palms? If you have, then go to Palau, a wonderful country. This country boasts beautiful beaches that you may enjoy all to yourself because they are quite vacant. Palau's capital, Ngerulmud, is the world's smallest capital and also the least populated, with only 400 residents. A trip to Ngerulmud is a great way to experience what it's like to live in a tropical small town.

When at Melekeok, you should go to Palau's Parliament building, Ngerulmud. Ngerulmud, perched on lush green lawns, is a magnificent example of colonial architecture that exudes poise, elegance, and grandeur. In fact, the architectural design of Ngerulmud is similar to that of the United States Capitol. The building is not open to the public, but it is visible from the outside. Even though Ngerulmud is the capital, the largest city in the country is Koror.
