Points of interest Angola: Tourism & Monuments

Practical information : Sightseeing Angola

Timetable

Museums generally open from 9am to 1pm and from 2pm to 5/6pm. Some close at weekends, others on Mondays. Safaris take place in the early morning or at the end of the day, for the best chance of observing the animals.

Budget & Tips

Most museums charge admission, but rates are very affordable for tourists and expatriates. However, some only accept local credit cards. Luckily, if the museum has a Visa-capable international Eftpos terminal, you'll be able to pay, but you'll have to pay a surcharge. Otherwise, you can insist that they accept your cash, or ask a local to pay with his or her card, in exchange for cash.

Main events

Carnival is undoubtedly the highlight of the Angolan calendar! In February, the Marginale becomes a colorful, festive stage where competing dance groups parade, reflecting all the country's cultural diversity. Between late August and early September, the pilgrimage of Our Lady of Conception in Muxima is another eagerly-awaited event for Angolans, who come from all over the country to pay homage to this venerated saint. The cultural calendar is also punctuated by a number of festivals, such as the Angojazz International Festival and the Caixa Fado Festival, both of which are long-lasting. You can also turn to the French, Portuguese and German institutes, which offer shows, concerts and other cultural events throughout the year. And don't forget to keep an eye on your surroundings, as events are often improvised at the last minute!

Guided tours

Some serious local agencies are based in the country's major cities, notably Luanda and Lubango. They offer excursions and visits to the main tourist sites. They are flexible and open to your suggestions.
