Luanda is the capital and largest city of Angola. It is Angola's primary port, and its major industrial, cultural and urban centre. Located on Angola's northern Atlantic coast, Luanda is Angola's administrative centre, its chief seaport, and also the capital of the Luanda Province. Luanda and its metropolitan area is the most populous Portuguese-speaking national capital in the world and the most populous Lusophone city outside Brazil. In 2024 the population reached more than 8.8 million inhabitants.

Luanda was founded by the Portuguese in the 16th century and has since become a melting pot of cultures. You'll notice a mix of African and European influences in the city's architecture, cuisine, and traditions. The city is also home to a variety of museums and historical sites, such as the National Museum of Slavery and the Fortaleza de São Miguel, both of which offer a glimpse into Angola's past.

One of the city's main draws are its beautiful beaches. You can soak up the sun on the white sands of Ilha do Cabo or enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters of Mussulo Bay. For those looking for a more adventurous experience, you can take a boat tour to explore the nearby islands or try your hand at surfing in the waves of the Atlantic.
