São Tomé and Príncipe, an archipelago off the west coast of Africa, is known for its lush landscapes, volcanic beaches, and rich biodiversity. Key tourist sights include the stunning Pico de São Tomé, the picturesque beaches of Praia Jale and Praia das Conchas, and the charming capital, São Tomé City, which features colonial architecture and lively markets. The local currency is the Dobra (STN), and while the general price level is relatively affordable compared to Western standards, some imported goods can be expensive. Weather-wise, the islands have a tropical climate, with a rainy season from October to May and warm temperatures year-round, making it a pleasant destination for outdoor activities and exploration.
