Kinshasa is the vibrant and bustling capital city of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Situated on the banks of the mighty Congo River, it is the largest city in the country and one of the largest in Africa. With a population of over 14 million people, Kinshasa is a melting pot of cultures, languages, and traditions. The city's landscape is a mix of modern skyscrapers, colonial-era buildings, and sprawling informal settlements. Kinshasa is divided into several districts, each with its own unique character and atmosphere. The city center, known as Gombe, is the commercial and administrative hub, with a cluster of high-rise buildings, government offices, and international organizations.
