    Favorite buys are woodcarvings (such as kava bowls), polished coconut shells, woven works (such as mats, coasters, hats, fans and trays), tapa cloth and pearls. Bargaining is not the norm in shops but is expected at handicraft markets. Some shopkeepers will give a discount with large purchases. Duty-free items are available and include electrical goods, pewter, crystal and porcelain.



    Shopping hours
    Mon-Fri 0800-1700, Sat 0800-1300. Many places close for lunch 1300-1400.

    Currency Information:

    Currency
    Fijian Dollar (FJD;
    symbol F$) = 100 cents. Notes are in denominations of F$100, 50, 20, 10, 5 and 2. Coins are in denominations of F$1, and 50, 20, 10, 5, 2 and 1 cents.

    Currency Exchange
    Exchange facilities are available at the airport, at trading banks, at private exchange offices and at most hotels.

    Credit/Debit Cards and ATMs
    American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard and Visa are accepted at a number of establishments. Major international cards are accepted at ATMs, which can be found in Nadi, Suva and Savusavu, and although they are cropping up throughout the rest of the islands, these cannot always be relied upon.

    Traveller's Cheques
    Traveller's cheques attract a rate slightly higher than cash and are easily changed at banks (for a commission) and private exchange offices (often without commission).

    Currency Restrictions
    Restrictions only apply to those importing or exporting over F$500 in Fiji banknotes.

    Banking Hours
    Generally Mon-Thurs 0930-1500, Fri 0930-1600. Foreign Exchange Dealers: Mon-Fri 0830-1700, Sat 0830-1300.
