About Luanda
Luanda, Angola's sprawling Atlantic capital, is a city of striking contrasts where Portuguese colonial architecture, glittering oil-wealth towers and a famous palm-fringed bay sit alongside vibrant markets and live kizomba and semba music. The Marginal seafront promenade has become a showcase for the city's modern ambitions, while the old fortress and museums tell the story of Angola's long, complex history.
