The Garden City as it is known because of its array of Parks and gardens is the capital of Rivers State and the centre of the oil industry in Nigeria. Even though it did not exist before 1913, there are two historic parts nearby which were connected formerly with slave trade - Bonny and Brass - which are now oil terminals.
This large, industrial port city offers little for tourists. This is the center for Nigeria's black gold—oil, which is pumped from the ground at the numerous oil instillations in the Niger Delta around Port Harcourt.
A local cemetery is rumored to be the burial site of the Ogoni Nine, a group of executed dissidents that included the writer Ken Saro-Wiwa. Violent protests against foreign oil companies, who were frequent targets for the Ogoni Nine, are still going on in parts of the Niger Delta, making the region west of Port Harcourt unsafe for visitors. If you go to Port Harcourt, watch the bustle in the port or head to the market. Port Harcourt has a small airport and is accessible from the other major Nigerian cities by plane. ... read more on port Harcourt visitor information
