Lilongwe Travel Guide

Malawi

Lilongwe is Malawi’s capital, with a population of 1,276,316. It is an inland city, so it is better suited to exploring the country than to a beach holiday.

Most international visitors arrive through Kamuzu International Airport (LLW), the airport serving Lilongwe. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so coastal excursions require travelling further afield.
