In downtown Honolulu are found both modern and historic buildings and complexes, many of the latter declared National Historic Landmarks on the National Register of Historic Places. ==Districts== Downtown Honolulu can be subdivided into four neighborhoods, each with its own central focus and mix of buildings. These areas are the #Capitol District, the #Central Business District, #Chinatown, and the #Waterfront. ===Capitol District=== The Capitol District, or Civic Center, contains most of the federal, state, and city governmental buildings and centers around the Hawaii State Capitol, Iolani Palace, and Honolulu Hale (Honolulu's city hall). It is roughly bounded by Richards Street on the west, Ward Avenue on the east, Vineyard Boulevard to the north, and Nimitz Highway to the south.

Central to this area is the open-air Oahu Market. The area around Nuuanu Avenue has become a center for the arts in recent years, thanks to the recent renovation of the Hawaii Theatre. Buildings in this area include: * Hawaii Theatre * Lum Yip Kee Building * Mission Memorial Building * Nippu Jiji Building * Oahu Market * Wo Fat Building ===Waterfront=== Honolulu's waterfront area centers around Aloha Tower, which was once the tallest building in Hawaii and the site where cruise ships would dock before the advent of air travel between Hawaii and the U.S. Mainland.
