Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo
Brazzaville sits on the north bank of the Congo River, facing Kinshasa across the water. The city is calmer and smaller than its neighbor, with tree-lined colonial boulevards and a famous culture of elegant dressing — the sapeurs, members of the Societe des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Elegantes, who parade in designer suits as a form of artistic expression.

Brazzaville is walkable in the center. The sapeur culture is best seen on weekends. A ferry connects to Kinshasa but border formalities take time.
June through September for dry season. December through February is hot but manageable.
