Transport

Food

Keep some meals at home and save restaurants for selected moments.

Can I stay in Luanda for around €1,000?

Yes, but it requires modest accommodation, local food, careful transport and fewer paid activities.

Is a car necessary?

Not always. For one month, ride-hailing can work if you stay in a practical area and do not plan constant coastal trips.

When can prices be higher?

Accommodation and weekend experiences can be more expensive in busier periods, especially around popular beach and holiday dates.

These prices are estimates for planning only. Always confirm current prices directly before booking accommodation, transport or experiences.
