The city is a hub for African music, especially soukous, and features colorful markets, art galleries, and theaters. Visitors can experience the warmth of local hospitality and explore the city's diverse neighborhoods, each with its own character.

Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season (June to September). Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, insect repellent, and sun protection. Respect local customs, dress modestly, and greet people politely. Stay aware of your surroundings and avoid isolated areas after dark. Use bottled water and eat at reputable places to avoid illness. Carry some cash in Congolese francs for markets and small vendors, but also have a credit card for hotels. Learn basic French or Lingala phrases to enhance communication.
