About this place
Monrovia is a low-rise coastal capital where palm-lined streets and weathered buildings meet the warm Atlantic. Home to roughly 1.6 million people, it hums with the energy of busy downtown merchants selling clothes, housewares, and DVDs, while the sprawling Waterside market draws shoppers through narrow, bustling walkways.
Beyond the commercial buzz, the city reveals a resilient spirit. Billboards urging tax payment and civic pride reflect a country on the ascent, and visitors frequently remark on the genuine friendliness that animates everyday encounters. Two well-stocked supermarkets offer a surprising range of Western groceries, complementing hundreds of small cook shops serving Liberian staples.
Founded by resettled African-American and Caribbean families in the early 19th century, Monrovia carries a layered history beneath its tropical veneer. Today’s city is less about curated attractions than about absorbing the rhythm of a capital working to write its next chapter.

Planning Tips
- Factor roughly two hours for the taxi ride between Roberts International Airport and downtown; budget the going rate, which was $50–$60 as of late 2025.
- For city travel, hire a private taxi rather than a shared one to reduce the risk of theft.
- If you enjoy self-catering, head to Benson Street around Newport Street for excellent produce, and check Somalia Drive near the port for fresh butchered meat.
- Fresh fish can be found along Tubman Boulevard in the Sinkor area, past the Vavoma building toward Congo Town.
- Raw honey is available near the mosque, though you will need to strain it before use.
- Supermarkets in the center stock imported American, Lebanese, and Western European products.
