It\u2019s busy, photogenic and lined with ministries, old-school buildings like the pink <strong>Banco Nacional de Angola<\/strong>, and of course the big <strong>\u201cEu ??Luanda\u201d<\/strong> sign for the classic photo stop. Come around sunset when the light softens over the bay, grab an ice cream or a drink nearby and just walk \u2013 it\u2019s an easy, low-effort plan that shows everyday Luanda, not just its monuments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-things-to-do-around-luanda\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things-to-do-around-Luanda\"><\/span>Things to do around Luanda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Ilha-do-Cabo\"><\/span>1.

In addition, tourists can enjoy <strong>water sports, boating and other water activities. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The island is connected to the mainland and <strong>you can get there by public transport or even walking. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Lua-viewpoint-the-best-panoramic-view-in-Luanda\"><\/span>2.

Inside you\u2019ll find shackles, everyday objects and explanations of Angola\u2019s role in the transatlantic slave trade. It\u2019s not a big museum, but it\u2019s a sobering, important visit that gives context to the forts and colonial fa\u00e7ades you see in Luanda. Plan a short, quiet stop here, ideally combined with the viewpoint on the same outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-in-1-day-in-nbsp-luanda\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-in-1-day-in-Luanda\"><\/span>What to see in 1 day in&nbsp;Luanda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Luanda is not one of the most touristic cities in Angola, the truth is that it is worth spending at least a day discovering the museums and beautiful colonial buildings of the city. The must-sees in Luanda are <strong>The Fortress of S\u00e3o Miguel, the National Museum of Anthropology, the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Nazar\u00e9, the Iron Palace and the Ilha do Cabo<\/strong>. However, there are many tourists who decide to extend their stay to enjoy the beaches and good weather in the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-stay-in-luanda\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-to-stay-in-Luanda\"><\/span>Where to stay in Luanda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The level of security in Lunda is similar to that of other African cities, so we recommend avoiding the most troubled neighborhoods and going out at night. In the city you will find a wide variety of accommodation options, but we recommend looking in the <strong>downtown area, in Vila Alice and Talatona<\/strong>. They are modern residential and commercial areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Casa Catalina:<\/strong> This is a very nice guesthouse with well-equipped rooms with bed linen, private bathroom and a fridge. There is also a common terrace where you can relax after a long day of sightseeing. The price per night starts at 46\u20ac. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hotel Coral da Ilha: <\/strong>This 3-star hotel located in front of the beach features free WiFi, fitness center, bar, African cuisine restaurant and free private parking. All rooms at the hotel have air conditioning, closet, balcony with sea views, private bathroom, flat-screen TV, microwave, bed linen and towels. The price per night starts from 150\u20ac. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>InterContinental Luanda Miramar:<\/strong> This 5-star hotel is the perfect luxury option for a vacation in style. The rooms are perfectly equipped and it has common areas such as garden, swimming pool, restaurant and bar. The price per night starts at 300\u20ac and breakfast costs 23\u20ac. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div

heavily influenced by the country&#8217;s history and cultural diversity. In Luanda you can try dishes such as <strong>Moamba de Galinha<\/strong> (chicken stew), <strong>Calulu <\/strong>(fish stew), <strong>Funge<\/strong> (corn flour paste) or <strong>Cachupa<\/strong> (meat and corn stew) among many other dishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of our favorite restaurants in Luanda:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>La Vigia: <\/strong>In this restaurant you can taste the best fresh grilled fish in town. It is an informal and very nice restaurant where you will eat deluxe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Churrascaria Nandinhos: <\/strong>Here you can eat the best roast chicken in town. It&#8217;s a simple, cheap and busy place, so you&#8217;d better get there early if you want to get a table. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cafe del Mar:<\/strong> This is an upscale restaurant with exceptional views of the beach. They serve international cuisine and the price ranges from 20\u20ac to 80\u20ac. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-to-luanda\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-get-to-Luanda\"><\/span>How to get to Luanda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Luanda is not a very touristy city, the truth is that its <strong>4 de Fevereiro International Airport<\/strong> is very well connected with European cities. From the airport you can reach the city center as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mini cab or Candongueiros: <\/strong>these are blue and white cars that will take you downtown for 100 Kwanzas, although the price may increase if there is traffic. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minibus<\/strong>: there is bus service that will drop you off in the city center.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Car<\/strong>: at the airport you can rent a car, but be aware that not all roads are in good condition. Also, if you are going to stay only in Luanda it is better to use public transport. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"519\" data-attachment-id=\"28329\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/angola\/things-to-do-luanda\/attachment\/trip-to-luanda-angola\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/trip-to-Luanda-Angola.jpeg?fit=1000%2C519&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1000,519\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"trip-to-Luanda-Angola\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/trip-to-Luanda-Angola.jpeg?fit=300%2C156&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/trip-to-Luanda-Angola.jpeg?fit=1000%2C519&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/trip-to-Luanda-Angola.jpeg?resize=1000%2C519&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"things to do in Angola\" class=\"wp-image-28329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/trip-to-Luanda-Angola.jpeg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/trip-to-Luanda-Angola.jpeg?resize=300%2C156&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/trip-to-Luanda-Angola.jpeg?resize=768%2C399&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Luanda Beach @shutterstock <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-i-consider-before-traveling-to-luanda\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-should-I-consider-before-traveling-to-Luanda\"><\/span>What should I consider before traveling to Luanda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Angolan Kwanza <\/strong>is the official currency of Angola.

However, it is also advisable to have received other vaccinations such as hepatitis, tetanus, typhoid, polio and meningitis C, although these are not compulsory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The official language of Angola is Portuguese, but more than 40 Bantu languages are spoken in the country. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hedge yourself against possible risks: travel insured. The Angolan health system leaves much to be desired, and in case of an accident you will need to go to a private clinic. With a good insurance you will travel with peace of mind and you will be fully covered against possible emergencies. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not drink tap water, only bottled water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Travel with plenty of cash because with the exception of a few hotels and restaurants, they don&#8217;t commonly use credit cards are nor are there many reliable ATM machines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The best time to travel to Luanda is between June and September, during the dry season. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Angola is quite safe but some precautions should be taken: we recommend to avoid walking, going out at night or visiting areas of conflict.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Book hotels well in advance to avoid exorbitant prices. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-prepare-what-to-see-on-your-trip-to-luanda\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-prepare-what-to-see-on-your-trip-to-Luanda\"><\/span>How to prepare what to see on your trip to Luanda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Register or download the Passporter App and discover all its possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Get inspired by other travelers&#8217; experiences, photos and itineraries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organize your trip by the categories that suit you best: dates, number of days or typology (beach, mountain, restaurants&#8230;).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add your friends&nbsp;<\/strong>so they can see and modify all the plans and information of the trip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create your own itinerary of your destination with everything you feel like visiting each day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the stops that interest you the most, including your accommodation, restaurants, museums&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Book your flights, accommodations, transfers and activities&nbsp;<strong>through a single app.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Save all your documents in the app&nbsp;<\/strong>to always have everything at hand: reservations, boarding passes, important documentation&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make any modifications you need and you&#8217;ll be all set for your trip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Share your experience with other users<\/strong>.
