Entertainment:
Night life was always intense in Luanda.
Today that tendency becomes stronger: discos,
nightclubs, American bars, pubs, esplanades,
etc... The heat of the music, the sensuality
of the dance, the temperature of the air, the
good shellfish, the cold drink together with
experts on having fun give to the nights of
Luanda a very special strength. Everything shows
that at last in times of peace, Luanda is preparing
to be in the continent the Queen of Night.

with loose music and dances and parties through
the yards. |

Tennis day and night at Coqueiros, golf near
Morro dos Veados and horse-riding at Barra do Kwanza

Curiosities:
Luanda is full of beautiful monuments: The National
Bank of Angola building - an amazing example
of colonial architecture. In front of
it the splendorous bay and the island. Going
to the craft works market in Benfica is
the best opportunity to buy quality items of
many origins. There are several African market
in Luanda such as Sao Paulo, Kinaxixi but the
Roque Santeiro is the biggest of Angola and
indeed, one of the biggest of all Africa. Located
at open sky, everything is sold and everything
can be bought.
