Libreville

Welcome to Libreville

The vibrant, muscular heart of Gabon, Libreville is the largest city and home to over a third of Gabon's population.

Named for the freed slaves that helped build the port town, Libreville has grown into an elegant and wealthy capital city since Gabon gained independence in 1960. The seafront boulevard is lined with expensive hotels and stores, while the Louis quarter is known for its stylish clubs, restaurants and bars. Pointe Denis, accessible by a short boat ride, is a resort island with some of the area's best beaches.

The Sibang Arboretum, just outside the city, showcases the country's unique flora. A short trip outside Libreville lies the beautiful Akanda National Park, consisting of 540 square kilometers of mangroves, beaches, and forest. Explore this treasure trove of nature and spot exotic vegetation and nesting turtles!
