There’s a real sense of energy and development in Zimbabwe’s capital, with European-style café culture and American-inspired shopping malls springing up all over the place. With its many festivals and growing international tourism, Harare is quickly becoming a cosmopolitan destination.

Sightseeing in Harare
With the high-rise skyline of Harare’s downtown in the background, Africa Unity Square is a symbolic centre point of the city. Laden with jacaranda trees, which bloom purple in the summer, it’s an enchanting place on quiet days, when you can find a spot by a fountain beat the urban heat. It’s also regularly the site of festivals and demonstrations, when it beats with drums and music.
In need of some retail therapy? Head to Sam Levy’s Village, in the north of the city. This upmarket shopping area features designer outlets and one-off boutiques where you can splash some cash. Afterwards, you can hit one of the spas, salons or bars for some well-deserved relaxation.
Transportation in Harare
Harare International Airport is the country’s largest, with connections all across Africa. Visitors coming from further afield will need to connect in one of the major hubs, like Nairobi or Johannesburg. The airport is located just 15 kilometres from the city centre, so it’s a speedy 20 minutes to get in by car. Several of the hotels offer airport shuttle services, which can take the hassle out of your journey. Otherwise, you can take an official taxi from the terminal, or hire a car. If self-driving, be aware that Harare’s roads can be somewhat chaotic with traffic, pedestrians, and potholes.
