Brazzaville
Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of Congo, sits on the north bank of the Congo River directly across from Kinshasa — making it one of the few capital cities in the world facing another capital across a shared waterway. The walkable centre has a real café and restaurant scene, and the city carries a significant 20th-century history as the capital of Free France from 1940 to 1942 and of French Equatorial Africa from 1910 to 1958.
