Bujumbura: Bujumbura, formerly Usumbura, is the economic capital, former political capital, largest city and main port of Burundi. It ships most of the country's chief export, coffee, as well as cotton and tin ore. Bujumbura was formerly the country's political capital. In late December 2018, Burundian president Pierre Nkurunziza announced that he would follow through on a 2007 promise to return Gitega its former political capital status, with Bujumbura remaining as economical capital and center of commerce. A vote in the Parliament of Burundi made the change official on 16 January 2019, and as of late 2025, the transition is still ongoing, having estimated to end in 2022.
Does not observe daylight saving time. The UTC offset (+02:00) is constant year-round.

Bujumbura is the largest city and economic capital of Burundi, with a population of roughly 770,000. It observes Central Africa Time (CAT, UTC+2) year-round, with no daylight saving. The city sits at the northeastern tip of Lake Tanganyika, the world's second-deepest freshwater lake, and its port is the country's main outlet for trade. Bujumbura served as the national political capital from independence in 1962 until 2019, when the government formally transferred the capital function inland to Gitega; Bujumbura nevertheless remains the seat of most ministries, the central bank, and nearly all diplomatic missions. The city was founded as a small German military post in 1889, expanded under Belgian administration as Usumbura, and was renamed Bujumbura at independence.
