10 Things to do in Luanda That You Shouldn't Miss

March 23, 2022 Diedre Savory

Sitting on the Western Coast of Africa, the port of Luanda is the capital and largest city in Angola. Founded by the Portuguese in 1575, the city has had a tumultuous history, finally achieving peace in 2002 after a long civil war. Now with a swelling population and surge of construction, the city is experiencing a rebirth. Take a break from the busy city and visit nearby Mussulo, a spit of land covered in coconut palms, bungalows and bars, and featuring wide sandy beaches and calm waters.

Ilha do Mussulo

Reviewed By qim_mota - Brighton, United Kingdom

Mussulo it’s very good option to retreat or escape from the city. But still everything in average. Price, cleanliness or facilities don’t expect to much. You can go solo and then you can make a list what you have to bring with you. Don’t forget sun cream)). If you’re in Luanda definitely you must visit. Why it’s five star under circumstances of Angola. ;)

Visited with my kids. Great little museum with descriptions in English. Next to the museum was a local market with paintings and hand made items. Well worth the visit.
