Corniche de Brazzaville & 15 August Bridge
La Corniche
A promenade built along the Congo River, where walkways and an elevated bridge offer views of the Kinshasa skyline and city lights reflect on the river at night.
The Corniche connects the city center with the southern Bacongo district. Along the river are walkways, viewing platforms and an elevated bridge; the August 15 Bridge lights up at night and has become a new city landmark. It is a good spot for an evening stroll and the sunset, with Kinshasa's high-rises clearly visible across the river. Along the way are de Gaulle's former residence and a memorial. Some sections are near government facilities, so avoid photographing security guards and official buildings.
