Sights
Though Luanda is not the safest place to visit, it has a few sights worth seeing. It is advisable to seek sound local advice on security measures before visiting these sights and the country itself.
The Cidade Alta is situated in the oldest part of the capital that was occupied by the Portuguese and has some magnificently designed buildings. The building offers an excellent view of the waterfront.
The National Museum of Anthropology displays Angolan Crafts and historical information on Angola and Luanda.
The Museum of Escravatura is 20kms from the center of Luanda and is dedicated to the thousands of Angolan slaves who were taken to the Americas.
Illha de Luanda has some spectacular beaches lined with coconut palms but the water is cold and marine litter is very evident. Swimming is definitely out because the undertow is dangerous. Visit the Futungo Market, south of Luanda, for its Sunday sale of handicrafts. While there, you also have the opportunity to stake out at the beaches on Ilha do Mussolo. Surprisingly, these beaches are unlittered and geared for tourists with their restaurants and bars.
