Get your architectural fix at the grand Banco Nacional de Angola building. Its hard-to-miss grandeur screams 'money, baby!' but in a classy, come-take-a-peek sort of way. It's the king of Luanda's skyline, where old-world charm shakes hands with modern panache.
Unwind with the cool kids at Ilha do Cabo's beach bars. It's where the waves meet the raves, and the sand gets friendly with your toes. Sip on a cold drink, nibble on some petiscos (that's snacks for the uninitiated), and let the laid-back vibes roll in with the tide.
Step into the past with a visit to the Fortaleza de São Pedro da Barra. This old fort, with walls that have stood the test of time, is like a guardian of history nestled by the sea. Wander around, touch the ancient stones, and soak in the sun-baked stories.
Get a heavy dose of history with a side of art at the National Museum of Slavery. The place is loaded with poignant reminders of the past, but it's also filled with thought-provoking contemporary art. It's a spot where you can take in some culture and leave feeling a bit wiser.
