A capital rebuilding itself into one of the continent's most expensive cities, a coastline of undeveloped beaches a short drive from the traffic, and a Portuguese colonial history layered under a very determinedly modern skyline.
The best time to visit Luanda is Jun–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 30°C (86°F). Local time there is 22:17 (UTC+1).
