Libreville is the lively and beautiful capital beside the ocean full of culture and charm. Its white buildings contrast with the green of the nearby forests. Sights include the small art-craft villages and the National Museum, which contains some lots of vibrant woodcarvings and paintings. Visitors can also enjoy the delightful Peyrie Gardens in the heart of the city which attracts many tourists.
