Harare Travel Guide
Zimbabwe
Harare is Zimbabwe’s capital and largest city, with a population of 1,578,128. It sits in the country’s inland north-east and serves as its main urban and administrative centre.
Most international visitors arrive through Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport (HRE), the airport serving the city. Harare is inland, and there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so beach trips are not part of a visit here.
