Brazzaville, Congo

Brazzaville, Congo
Brazzaville, the Republic of the Congo’s capital and largest city, is located on the Congo River across from Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Congo is blocked downstream from Brazzaville by a series of cataracts known collectively as Livingstone Falls. Products bound for export from the African interior are shipped to Brazzaville by river craft, then transferred to the Congo-Ocean Railroad for overland transport to the Atlantic Ocean port of Pointe-Noire.
