Introduction

Moroni is the capital and largest city of the Comoros with around 75,000 people living in this city which has been the capital of the country since 1962. The city is located on the western coast of Grande Comore island (the most northern island of the country) and forms the administrative, cultural and economic heart of the country and functions as a major port with connections to neighbouring islands as well. Although there are some places to stay and eat in the city, there really is not much for visitors to spend more time here.
