Workation in Dili: the essentials
Hemmed in between mountains and the sea on Timor's north coast, Dili has been the economic centre and main port of the territory since it became the capital of Portuguese Timor in 1769. Its recent past is heavy, with a World War II battle, civil war in 1975 and then Indonesian occupation, remembered today at sites such as the Santa Cruz cemetery and the Resistance Museum. The population is young, Tetum is the everyday language and Portuguese the other official one. The Cristo Rei statue east of the centre and boats to Atauro island are the favourite outings. The international airport is about 6 km from the centre, and the choice of routes is small.
