Beyond mining: Discover why Kitwe, Zambia, is worth exploring

When people think of Zambia, destinations such as Victoria Falls and South Luangwa National Park frequently come to mind, writes Travel News Blitz’s Tabitha Kongo.

However, nestled in the heart of the Copperbelt Province is Kitwe - a city that offers you a unique experience of the “kopala” culture and warm Zambian hospitality.

Kitwe is known to be the second largest city after Lusaka in terms of population size. It is also the third largest city when it comes to infrastructure development after Lusaka and Ndola.

Kitwe has mineral production of copper, cobalt and emerald. The city has advanced from mining production into a blooming commercial and social hub. 

Whether you are travelling for business, leisure, or simply cruising through Zambia past its tourist attractions, you are sure to be engulfed by the wealth of experiences that Kitwe has to offer.

Travel tips: What to see and do whilst visiting the Polish city of Gdansk

Gdansk, a historic port city in Poland, offers a quirky experience of both the hustle and bustle of a city and the tranquillity of a magnificent coastline on the Baltic Sea.

Known for the battle of Westerplatte, where the German forces attacked the Polish military by targeting the transit depot, enabling successful entry into Poland and marking the start of World War II.
