Luanda, Angola

Luanda is the most populous Portuguese-speaking capital city in the world and among the oldest colonial cities in Africa, having been founded in 1576 as São Paulo da Assunção de Loanda. Angola’s primary port, as well as its major industrial, cultural and urban center, the city is a short drive from striking natural wonders, including the otherworldly landscape known as Miradouro da Lua (“Viewpoint of the Moon”). Here, millions of years of erosion have created a karst landscape with different colored strata that stretch toward the sea.
