Libreville is the capital and largest city of the Gabonese Republic, located on the Atlantic coast in the west of the country, with a population of about 700,000 people. As the political, economic and cultural center of Gabon, Libreville has French as its official language, an active port and diversified trade activities. The city's name means "free city" and derives from the history of the emancipation of slaves in the 19th century.
Libreville has a tropical rainforest climate, warm and humid all year round, with an average temperature of around 26°C. The economy is dominated by oil, timber and mining, with a growing tourism industry that attracts visitors to its beautiful beaches, national parks and colonial architecture. The University of Omar Bongo and the National Museum of Gabon are important cultural landmarks.
In terms of transportation, Libreville International Airport connects Africa with Europe and the city's infrastructure is constantly being improved. The city's blend of modern urbanism and natural beauty makes it an ideal starting point for exploring Gabon's biodiversity and culture.
