Workation in Sao Tome: the essentials
Founded by the Portuguese in the 15th century, São Tomé is one of Africa's oldest colonial cities and the capital of a two-island nation in the Gulf of Guinea. The pastel-coloured centre curves around Ana Chaves Bay, with the Fort of São Sebastião, now the national museum, at one end. Cocoa built the old wealth, and former plantation estates, the roças, still dot the green interior. Portuguese is the official language, the airport is about 5 km from town, and direct flights link the island to Lisbon. Hotels and restaurants are limited for a capital, and the pace is slow.
