Luanda, Angola

Music & Arts Tour in Luanda

Luanda's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the music drifting from open doors, the murals on unexpected walls, and the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that guidebooks overlook. Walking is the only way to find them.

Luanda is a city of contrasts where Portuguese colonial architecture meets modern skyscrapers along a stunning Atlantic bay. Walking the Marginal promenade and Cidade Alta reveals Angola's complex history and oil-fueled transformation.
