Brazzaville is the capital of the Republic of Congo.

Contents

Understand

Brazzaville was a relatively well-developed and thriving city before the civil war began in 1997. Although there is still some fighting in the rural areas, it is a safe city to visit, but the infrastructure has been run down. Many new restaurants and hotels are being built--especially by Lebanese immigrants--and it can be a pleasant stopover to Pointe Noire or visits to the Congolese rain forests.

Get in

Brazzaville can be reached from Paris by Air France on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. You can get there from Johannesburg by Interair on Mondays and Thursdays. One may also travel between Brazzaville and Kinshasa by boat, but it is recommended to fly into Brazzaville if your intent is to visit the Republic of Congo.

Get around

You may use local taxis, even if they are in a poor technical condition. One trip everywhere in town is XAF 1,000 (USD 2).
