Introducing Libreville
Glitzy in some spots, ramshackle and anarchic in others, Libreville is very likely to give you culture shock, especially if you’ve been slogging your way through the jungles of Central Africa. High-rise hotels line the beaches, European expats fill the shops and restaurants, and flashy cars speed down the wide boulevards. Libreville has everything you could ask for, at a price you probably can’t afford.
