Brazzaville, capital of the Republic of the Congo, sits on the north bank of the Congo River directly opposite Kinshasa - the world's closest pair of capital cities, staring at each other across the water. Arrival is straightforward by Central African standards: Maya-Maya International Airport (BZV) lies about 4 kilometres from the centre - 15 to 30 minutes by taxi - with a modern main terminal opened in 2010 and expanded since, complete with lounges, restaurants and car-rental services. The city itself moves at a riverine pace: grilled fish and saka-saka (cassava leaves) anchor the food, artisan markets carry sculpture, fabrics and beadwork, and the river - from the ferry port toward the rapids downstream - gives Brazzaville its rhythm. The drier mid-year months are the most comfortable window to explore.
