Over 3 to 4 hours, you’ll explore the city’s most iconic landmarks, guided by a knowledgeable and friendly expert who ensures you don’t just see Luanda but truly experience it.
Your journey begins at the picturesque Largo do Kinaxixi (Kinaxixi Square), recently renovated to restore its grandeur and cultural significance. This iconic square now stands as a symbol of Luanda’s heritage and pride. At its heart is the Queen Nzinga Statue, honoring one of Angola’s most legendary historical figures. Known for her bravery and diplomatic skill, Queen Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba fiercely resisted Portuguese colonization in the 17th century, becoming a symbol of resilience and empowerment in Angolan history.
Continue to the charming Rua dos Mercadores (Merchants’ Street), where echoes of Angola’s trading past resonate through colonial-era buildings.

Explore the Museu da Moeda (Currency Museum) to learn about Angola’s fascinating monetary evolution, followed by a visit to the political and historical heart of the city, the Cidade Alta (High City), with its sweeping city views and colonial landmarks.
Finally, stroll along the scenic Marginal (Waterfront Promenade), a modern and picturesque space that blends the city’s energy with the serenity of the bay.
Safety and comfort are our priorities. A support vehicle accompanies the tour to assist with longer distances, provide refreshments, and ensure a smooth experience from start to finish.
