Capital status
National capital of Angola
Luanda is the capital and largest city of Angola, with a population of around 2.8 million in the city proper and an urban agglomeration estimated at over 8 million, making it one of the most populous Portuguese-speaking cities in the world. West Africa Time (WAT, UTC+1) governs civil time year-round, with no daylight saving. Sitting on the Atlantic coast, Luanda is the country's chief seaport and administrative centre, and its economy is driven heavily by Angola's offshore oil industry, which has made it at times one of the most expensive cities in the world for expatriates. The city blends Portuguese colonial-era architecture along the Marginal waterfront with rapid modern development.
