São Tomé’s capital is small but full of life. Begin in Bobo Forro’s lively markets — fruit, fish, color, and noise. Wander through colonial streets, past the azulejo-covered Cathedral, the Presidential Palace, and Independence Square. Visit the National Museum to uncover the island’s layered history, then end with flavors: grilled fish, tropical fruits, or Santomean ice cream in exotic island varieties.
