- After departing the hotel, drive along Marginal Bay, with the commercial part of the city on the one side and views across the bay on the other.
- Stop at the San Miguel Fort with the Luanda tour guide. Originally built in 1576, its purpose was to defend the port and the city from attack by the marauding French, Spanish and Dutch armies. It was successful until 1641, when the Dutch seized Luanda.
- Drive to the new marginal side and stop to see the unique Agostinho Neto Mausoleum, a huge stylized obelisk.

Having solid communist affiliations, Neto died in 1979, and it is said that this was erected as a gift from the Russian government.
