Introducing Monrovia

Monrovia, sprawled across a narrow peninsula between the Mesurado River and the sea, has suffered badly during the past two decades. But if you can overlook the bullet-scarred building shells, the city has an unmistakable pep and an unbending determination to rebuild. As African capitals go it’s also quite an approachable place, with an amenable small-town ambience and a lively restaurant and bar scene. Pick a day when it’s not raining, find some Liberian friends, and soon you’ll forget you’re walking around in what was only recently a war zone.
