About
PyCon Angola 2027 is the annual Python conference in Angola, presented as an event built by the community for the community under the Python Angola Community. It is designed for developers, students, technology professionals and anyone curious about the Python programming language, with a bilingual Portuguese and English website and a published code of conduct. The conference is listed as an in-person event in Luanda, Angola, from 20 to 26 May 2027, and the organisers frame it as a week to learn, build and connect. Alongside the main conference, the programme includes PyEducation and community initiatives such as Django Girls and PyLadies. A call for speakers invites proposals, while venue details and sponsorship information are still being prepared. The mix of talks, education and beginner-friendly workshops gives participants both technical depth and an accessible entry point into programming. As a Python conference in Luanda, PyCon Angola helps grow a national developer community, connects local talent from different regions of the country and links Angola more closely to the global open source ecosystem.

Planning your trip to Luanda
Contains sponsored linksPyCon Angola 2027 gathers Python developers in Luanda in late May, as the rainy season winds down and the cooler, drier cacimbo months approach, bringing more overcast skies and gentler temperatures. The capital stretches along a wide bay, with the Marginal promenade and the long Ilha sandbar giving the city its seaside character. For visitors, the event is a chance to meet one of Africa's growing Portuguese-speaking developer communities, and to see a city that has changed rapidly over the past two decades.
Getting there & around
Luanda is served by Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport (LAD), close to the city, and the newer Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport south-east of Luanda, which has been taking over international traffic. Check which airport your airline uses and arrange a hotel transfer, especially from the newer and more distant airport. Road traffic in Luanda can be very heavy, so allow generous time for every journey.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Mobile data works well across central Luanda, though hotel wifi can be inconsistent. An eSIM gives you a working connection on arrival without hunting for a local SIM shop. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Fortaleza de São Miguel. This 16th-century Portuguese fortress on a hill above the bay houses the Armed Forces Museum and is decorated with historic azulejo tile panels. The ramparts give one of the best views over the Marginal and the Ilha. Go in the morning and allow about an hour and a half.
Ilha do Cabo. The narrow sandbar known as the Ilha stretches along the bay with beach clubs, seafood restaurants and bars. It is where Luanda relaxes at weekends, and a late lunch here is a good break after the conference. Go by taxi or arranged transport, and plan an afternoon.
The Marginal promenade. Luanda's rebuilt waterfront boulevard runs along the bay with a wide walkway, palm trees and views of the city skyline. Early evening is the best time for a walk, when the heat eases and locals are out jogging. Thirty minutes to an hour is enough; keep valuables out of sight.
Museu Nacional da Escravatura. South of the city at Morro da Cruz, this small museum tells the history of the Atlantic slave trade from Angola, in a building associated with that era. It is a sobering and important visit. Pair it with a drive along the coast and allow half a day with transport.
Good to know
Do I need a visa for Angola?
Angola made short tourist stays visa-free for citizens of many countries in 2023, but the list and rules can change. Check the latest official requirements for your nationality before booking.
What currency is used in Luanda?
Angola uses the kwanza (AOA). Card acceptance is patchy outside larger hotels and restaurants, so carry some local cash for taxis and smaller venues.
What is the weather like in Luanda in late May?
Late May is warm but increasingly dry as the cacimbo season begins, with more overcast days and somewhat cooler evenings. Light clothing plus a thin layer works well.
