Within Downtown Honolulu sits the State Capitol on Beretania Street. The State Capitol houses the offices of the Governor, the House and the Senate. On the grounds of the Capitol are statues of Queen Lili'uokalani, Hawai'i's last reigning monarch and Father Damien of Kalaupapa, a Belgian priest who in the 1800s came to Hawai'i and cared for Hawaiians afflicted with Hansen's disease on the island of Moloka'i.
If you're driving out of Waikiki to the State Capitol you may drive 'Ewa bound on Kalakaua Avenue until it merges with Ala Moana Blvd. Stay on Ala Moana Blvd in your right hand lane till you reach Punchbowl St. Take the right on Punchbowl until you come to Beretania. Stay on Beretania in your left hand lane. The State Capitol will be on your left.
If you're taking the bus, you can catch the #2, 3 and 4. They will all pass through downtown and the State Capitol.
