Kigali, Rwanda
Budget nightlife area with cheap restaurants and local bars. Safe during day, take motos after dark.
Remera has Kigali's budget nightlife - affordable restaurants, sports bars, clubs that stay open late. More local than the expat areas, with busy streets, markets, younger crowd. Area around Alpha Palace Hotel has bars like Rosty's, Le Must Pub, Joytime Bar - popular with locals. Restaurants range from cheap local places to Java House and Lao Tangren for Chinese. Casual vibe but louder and messier than Kimihurura or Nyarutarama. Daytime and early evening are fine with people around. After 10pm, stay on main streets, don't wander side roads. Public buses connect well here.
