• The City Center - Blantyre airport normally serves two towns, Blantyre and Limbe. This town has a rich history and said to be the area where David Livingstone and other Scottish missionaries dwelt and spread the gospel from. Blantyre is the name of Livingstone’s birth place which was adopted for the town.
• A Heavily Commercial Town - the stretch between the main town and Limbe used to house traditional houses. Today it is replaced by commercial precincts housing various shops and even a cinema. Most shops act independently of each other and have unique items to supply. Some shops you should definitely visit include African Habitat for locally made ornaments or the Ute Waleza center which houses numerous Malawian mementoes.
• Central Africana Gallery - as you stroll around town in your car rental, make sure you pass by this art shop. There are thousands of prints to be sold here to tourists and locals. You will also find great African reads to purchase as well as historical maps which offer some details of how life was in the past for this town.
• St Michael and All Angels Church - one fascinating factor about this church is that it was built by men who knew nothing about architecture or brick laying. It still stands today and is one of the amazing architectural designs within the city.
