Luanda

Begin on the coast and in historic neighbourhoods; choose cultural places after checking their visiting rules.

Practical tips

Organise journeys in advance and check advice for longer routes, especially in border regions.

Getting there and getting around

Check the exact arrival airport in the Luanda area on your ticket: the meeting point and transfer time depend on it.

Where to stay

Choose the location according to your daily route and traffic conditions; confirm water, electricity and payment options.

What to try

Try funge with sauce or fish; ingredients and side dishes can be clarified when ordering.
