Marginal de Luanda
About this destination
The Marginal de Luanda, officially Avenida 4 de Fevereiro, is the avenue that follows the Baía de Luanda (Luanda Bay) along the front of the Baixa. The name recalls 4 February 1961, the date the armed struggle began; in colonial times it was Avenida Paulo Dias de Novais.
The current version, with a wide promenade and palm trees by the water, opened in August 2012. It runs for almost four kilometres and has become the place where Luanda goes to run, cycle and stroll.
From the promenade you can see the Ilha (Luanda Island) across the bay and, behind you, the buildings of the Baixa, with the Banco Nacional de Angola among the most photographed. On Sunday afternoons you will find families, street vendors and newlyweds having their photos taken.
The best time is late afternoon, when the sun sets over the bay and the temperature becomes more pleasant.
