Luanda: Hapag-Lloyd Cruises - MS EUROPA 2
Rhodes is best known in Greece for its UNESCO-listed Medieval City. At the island’s northern tip, Rhodes Town meets the Aegean Sea, with massive walls, gates and a moat enclosing streets that remain part of a living urban centre. The Knights Hospitaller ruled Rhodes from 1309 to 1522 and reshaped its defences; the Palace of the Grand Master is their most prominent surviving monument. Mandraki harbour and the newer town outside the walls underline Rhodes’s role as the island’s administrative centre and a long-established eastern Mediterranean port. Greek, Ottoman and Italian periods have all left a mark on the city’s built fabric.

Tucked along the Atlantic coast beside Baía de Luanda, Luanda is a place whose character is shaped by its sheltered bay and maritime position. Angola’s capital extends from the waterfront Avenida 4 de Fevereiro, commonly called the Marginal, toward the older Cidade Alta and fast-growing urban districts. Across the water lies the narrow Ilha do Cabo, associated with beaches, restaurants and seafront life. The 16th-century Fortaleza de São Miguel, above the bay, remains a marker of Portuguese colonial rule; Luanda was founded by the Portuguese in 1576. Portuguese is the official language, while Angolan music and cuisine animate the city’s daily rhythm. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Luanda Province.

Among the countries of southern Africa, Angola stands out for its long Atlantic coastline and the contrast between coastal plains and the central highlands. The Kwanza River, Angola’s longest, crosses the country toward the Atlantic, while the arid Namib extends into the south. Luanda, the capital, is shaped by Portuguese-speaking heritage and its position on the coast. Inland, the Calandula Falls on the Lucala River are among the country’s best-known natural landmarks. Angola’s music and dance traditions, including semba, remain central to social life. Discover other places of interest through webcams across Angola’s coast and interior.
