What to do and see in Lilongwe, Central Region: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day
The quiet capital of Malawi, Lilongwe is divided into New and Old Towns. The Old Town is where to go for bustling stores, markets, cafes, hotels, and restaurants. The New Town houses embassies, international aid organizations, and corporate headquarters. A large expat population has made Lilongwe a very Western city, and a perfect stopping point for tired travelers to relax and pick up some essentials for their trip to the country’s wildlife reserves or to the beaches of Lake Malawi.

I am so pleased that I found the Old Town Mall before the end of my stay in Lilongwe. It was a place of calm where you could browse at your own leisure, in sharp contrast to the frenetic, and occasionally intimidatory, atmosphere of other shopping malls and markets in the capital. The quality and range of the goods on display, all with a local provenance, was excellent whether that was tourist souvenirs, local produce or even an old-fashioned bookshop. And don't forget to have a meal in the Veg-Delight restaurant.
