One gateway and one base: how to plan a São Tomé and Príncipe trip around the capital without unnecessary movement.
Before you go
The financial, linguistic and scheduling basics are simple, and they are worth fixing early rather than discovering on arrival. The currency is the dobra (STN). Portuguese is the official language. The country runs on a single time zone, Africa/Sao_Tome. Taken together, the practical effect is that a Gulf traveller will be dealing with an official language quite different from the one they are used to in nearer African destinations, which makes it sensible to carry printed or offline copies of important documents rather than relying on live translation at the moment it matters most.
