Serving as the beating heart of Angola, Luanda is the largest city and the primary industrial and cultural centre of the nation. The city was founded in January 1576 by Portuguese explorer Paulo Dias de Novais and has grown into a metropolis of over 8.3 million inhabitants. With a plethora of industries, ranging from oil refinery to agriculture processing and beverage production, the city thrives with vibrant energy and economic activity.

With the residue of the Portuguese influence evident in its many colonial buildings and the rich cultural heritage of the predominant Ambundu ethnic group, Luanda is a captivating blend of cultures and stories. The city's history and urban development, coupled with its cultural scene from festivals to institutions, make the city an intriguing journey to embark upon. However, it's worth noting the city's cost of living is among the highest globally, necessitating thoughtful preparation and planning before your visit.
